finalist, champion?
Why should the other awards be any different?
Yes I think the whole team should go up for Chairmans, Winner, Finalist, etc.

All in all, this is a team, and not about the I's or the sub teams. Sorry, but I disagree with you.

entrepreneurship was a bad example on my part. Depending on how your awards teams operate, you could have a few up to many students/mentors working on a submission and actually creating the business plan.

Haha, I didn't say you had to agree with what I thought about certain awards, no need to be sorry for that. I simply appreciate it when large teams send up a few students to receive something like website and animation awards because those were, in fact, only worked on by certain students/mentors.

I see this as something opposite of what most of you said. I see it as allowing certain students to be recognized in front of their own team but also other teams for something specific they have done. So no, I don't think Websites and animations are worked on by an entire team - if they are on your team, then that's awesome. I simply think that recognition of a few for these specific awards is important rather than sending up an entire team. The fact that a few minutes of time are saved- okay sure maybe I was a little harsh there, but hey everyone likes getting to a comfy bed as soon as competition day is done!

And Andrew- people reading these posts can form an opinion on their own.
