Re: Interviews

Lisa really summed it up, I'm going to go into some more detail on that.

1) Impact

Judges like to know about individual impact stories, particularly really special ones. Try to think of a powerful example you can use that connects to the rest of your award.

2) Variety

They've read your award...try to present something more detailed or different, or show a sign of progress in one of your projects. They ask about team effort.

3) Clarification

Judges are human too, and they may have been confused by some aspect of your award. Even if they ask a quizzical question, it doesn't mean they hate you. It just means they need an answer with more information/definition.

Basically, be able to answer any question about the written award, and try to understand additional info.
