But the thing is, once you win, that doesn't mean you just halt all efforts to promote FIRST. Even if there was a limit to the number of concsecutive wins, that doesn't mean that a team just puts their entire promotion of FIRST on halt for a year, that would actually almost be counterproductive.

Even teams that have won the award should never cease their efforts to promote FIRST because you are now ambassadors of the program and you should want to see the program grow stronger. Just because you made it to the mountaintop doesn't mean you don't want to reach higher and share the incredible feeling with everyone else.
I think all the Chairman's finalists should have their submissions on display at the Hall of Fame so people can get an idea who will take a spot next to the Chessy Poofs next year.
