You'd have to either be excessively proud, or very misled, to give yourself an award.

Because the whole point is, animators support animators. We make animations because we learn from them, not to win a shiny trinket.

Personally, I don't care about my team's animation. It'll come out the way it comes out. And you know what? I'm not very proud of it, because it was just a tool for our animation team to learn more about a very complicated subject. The illusion of life, computer graphics, crazy mouse-based user interface, whatever. It's the learning experience that is the award.

So, I think that as long as FIRST teams are still rational, there won't be any self-awards. And they're a lot more fun to give out than receive.

I think you missed the point. If a team is issueing awards by taking votes in consideration from other teams, should they simply leave themselves out?

The best option would be to simply disqualify the host team from this years awards, and then give the job of hosting the compettition to this years winners next year....
