As for new awards I would like to see FIRST grow by holding a promotional video contest, and a interactive application/game contest. It will benefit FIRST by introducing more talent to the program.

Chairmans Award should include 2-3 honorable mentions at every regional, the award does help FIRST grow it's awareness dramatically, in local towns plus a lot of the student members are put in the situations such as coordinating their events, working along sides middle school students, and overall leaving their comfort zone to build their local FIRST program in thier area helps students learn new life skills they won't encounter in the woodshop or the regionals.
A lot of teams feel overwhelmed by what other teams are able to do and don't really give it a try, thats partially why I believe it would be a good idea
