Please be aware that there is no formal submission for the Rookie All Star Award.

An essay in form of the Chairman's Award submission can be written and brought with you to the competition to offer to the judges. Use it to capture your team story, or use another format if you choose.

It will be just as important to have the students who are working in your pit also know your teams story. The emphasis is on partnership. With whom has your team formed a partnership? Is it with your school, teachers and adminsitrators? Is it with a business that is sponsoring you? Is it with the community, or a community organization? Is it a combination of all of them? How is your partnership being developed, nurtured, grown and what is the personal impact on your team and the impact on the surrounding community?

Good luck!
