Re: looking for help on chairman award

Then one of them just says "Essay" with a 10,000 character limit, I believe.

Does this mean we write all the other paragraphs PLUS a 10,000 character essay? Or is the 10,000 character essay another requirement for Chairman's? And if so, what do teams write about?

If anyone knows, that would be great.

Lauren Sites, Captain of Team 677
There are two portions -

The first part (the 500 character areas) forms an executive summary that just gives some highlights on those particular area. They will need to be very concise statements.

The second part is the 10,000 character essay. There are several posts on what to include, but the key is to address the major areas highlighted in the Awards section of the manual. Most teams try to touch on several areas, but be sure to focus more words on anything that makes your team unique.

Good Luck!
