My assumption is that the video isn't judged because the Chairman's Award isn't about making videos.


However, I disagree with the CA judges last year who flatly refused to watch the video that one team intended to use as the opening part of their presentation. Most teams prepare a pamphlet or booklet or scrapbook or something to show the judges, don't they? If video is part of a team's community outreach or sponsorship search or general awareness-raising, there shouldn't be anything wrong with showing that.
