I would like to add two things.

First, even though we won the Chairman's Award our team must still create a Chairman's Award entry each year. We have always done ours as text in paragraphs, but last year we decided to do our in a poem. I think it was more work, but it was more fun and FIRST seemed to enjoy it...don't know about the judges since they don't read it.

Second, in 2005 when we won the Chairman's we wanted to post five photos, but, as you know, we are only allowed to post four. Our solution was to use a photo editor to combine two photos into one jpeg file. Since it met the format and size guidelines it was accepted.

I would suggest, read the rules...don't break them, but be creative. Remember, format isn't the important thing in the Chairman's submission, it is the content. Tell your story...clearly and completely. Make the judges know that you are the best team.

Good luck to all.
