1) The deadline for the Chairman's Award (and Woodie Flowers Award) is February 4 2016, at 3 PM EST (GMT -5). I'm really bad at time zones, but I think that means for Beijing (GMT +8) that means it is Due February 5 at 6 AM where you live. It has been moved up this year.
2) Section 6.4 of the Administrative Manual outlines the Chairman's Award. It should be available for you to view and download at
this link. Reading through this will give you all the requirements for all facets of the award. The guides and examples people have posted will help you fill that out.
All major season information from HQ can be found
here.
To submit the award, you need to have a student approved to join your team on YTMS/STIMS. Your main contact (whoever is getting communication from FIRST) needs to approve you as an awards submitter via TIMS. This is a system only your main or alternate contact can access. Then you can submit for the award.
3) You can find these answers in the manual section I posted, but the video is 3 minutes and not officially judged. The presentation is a 10 minute block, with up to 7 minutes to present and the remainder for q&a.
If you have any other questions people here can help. Sorry if this seems forward, but while my Mandarin can best be described as both rusty and lousy, my team works out of an international school and I might be able to find someone to help with any translation you might need.
