Ok,

As far as I know, the essay is supposed to be whatever your team feels like writing about. This may be past events, alumni, community service, etc.

Hopefully someone else can confirm this, or prove me wrong so I don't submit the wrong essay for Chairman's award.

You have a lot of freedom when writing your essay. There are things that you should focus on outlined on the website, but those are just guidelines. The important thing is to really represent what your team is all about! The judges are looking for what makes your team special/unique.

You can start with answering the those main points, and then come up with an outline that emphasizes your strengths as a team!

This site is pretty helpful:

Good luck!

If you check out page 2 of that linked document, there's a section called "Submission Content" that has 5 bullets. Use those 5 bulleted items as your guide for content. As was said before, the clarification of how your team embodies those 5 criteria is left very open-ended.

Good luck!

Many teams have posted their previous year's essays on CDor their web pages. Here is ours:

Yes, basically write whatever you want, and try and explain why your team embodies FIRST's Mission.
