Video or essay- does it really matter?
Upon reading the description of the award it clearly states that this year more than ever FIRST will be looking for the teams which uphold the FIRST ideals throughout the year.
It seems to me that if your team has been really active and has been doing work in the community on behalf of FIRST then it would be obvious. Whether or not you have a great presentation would be irrelevant.
The Autodesk award rewards a great presentation, the Chairman's Award rewards a great team.
Less worry about the award format and more worry about what it stands for seems to be in order here.
OK- off the soapbox now and back to work....
