Red face Re: Chairman's Award -- is the bar too high now?

We had an issue with that. My friend and I were freshman on the team this year and we really wanted to do chairmans but the entire year the people who had been on the team previously said they had never submitted it and tried to convince us not to because they said we wouldn't win anyway. We kept working on doing more outreach and doing the chairmans essay, executive summaries, and video just on our own time instead of during practice since they didn't want us to, even though they told us we should just not do it. We finished it all barely on time (literally submitted it 13 seconds before the deadline) but we got it in. At competition, we actually ended up winning the judges award for all of the outreach we did. We are going to continue to submit chairmans and hopefully continue to improve with our outreach and presentation. Hopefully the rest of our team will start to realize the importance of chairmans and put more of an effort into it. It was a cool experience winning an award for our efforts and we hope other teams will be able to experience this as well. We also started to help our team realize and realize ourselves that it's not just about winning the award, it's the effort and the difference you make that is the important part.
