It sounds like you are talking about mentors working on submissions/presentations.

I like mentors to be a part of every step of the process.

It sounds like you do not.

Mentors working with students on awards is not cheating.

Teams falsifying information on awards is cheating.

Easy friend, we're on the same side.

I am in favor of mentoring, I stated guiding did I not?

I must not have been clear enough in stating that I do believe too much "hands on" mentoring can lead to problems where students feel like they aren't contributing. Not that this happens all the time.

I do mentor. I do assist my students where needed. I do not tell them what to do.

I apologize for not understanding your point correctly. Yes, falsifying content is a problem.
