After speaking to a previous WF winner I was told to make sure that the regional winner was submitted again. It is possible that he/she could win again. If you read Andy Bakers post, you will notice that a lot of things are taken into account. One of which is how well the essay is written. You will also note that there were 3 judges per regional. These may or may not be the same judges year after year.

I guess what I am saying is that if the students care enough to write a great essay, the mentor continues with the work he has been doing or even becomes better at it, then why shouldn't they win multiple times or until they win the Championship WF Award. These mentors are selfless people. They care more about FIRST than about personal glory. Do they want to win? Every person is different but I do believe that every one of them are touched when they find that the students have taken time to nominate them.
