I can attest to this. Although awards aren't completely necessary, I think that any time FIRST can recognize students for their effort is an opportunity to take. That said, I feel like something like website / media awards are very tough to judge objectively. I wouldn't even know where to start looking. Is the content important? What about the design? There are a lot of things to take into consideration, which if done properly can take a long time. I'm still not sure whether I am on board with this decision, but my hope is that we can recognize student's efforts in whatever way is the most valuable to them.
