When you go to www.firstawards.org, it will display a list of regionals that you are registered to compete with the robot at. You must choose one of those regional events to submit your online CA entry to. (If you are registered for only one regional, then you can only submit to that one regional). The judges for the CA at that regional will be reviewing your team's Yearbook entry (be sure to complete that soon on TIMS), your CA Executive Summary and your CA online submission prior to the regional. You will be assigned an interview time - check with the registration desk upon arrival on Thursday morning. You will not know who else at the regional has chosen to submit a CA entry. Unlike the Website competition, where you can view other team's sites online, or the Animation competition, where you are shown the animations at the regional, the CA submissions have not been made public in years past.

Some people feel you should submit to your "local" regional, others look at it more strategically to see which teams that might be worthy of winning a CA are competing at what regionals before making the decision.
