Re: Chairman's and such...

Definitely do not rely on your video to tell your story. The judges will have a copy of the video and can watch it on their time. You have 10 minutes to use wisely, so use it to add information above and beyond what is in the video, and to underline and highlight important information in the video.

Also, relying on your video for the presentation will leave you stumbling for 10 minutes if there are technical difficulties and you cant show the video. Sometimes the best approach is low tech with less room for problems. The RCA judges are the best of an elite group of people who judge, they know how to listen for the important information, so give it to them. Like Kim said above, numbers and evidence in your presentation is more important than flashy adjectives.

Finally, you are telling a great story about your team. Just the fact you are presenting your Chairman's Award is a great accomplishment. Be proud of what you and your team have done, tell the judges about it, and you will do fine.
