The award's official page includes this:

Quote:
Protect Your Innovation
FIRST strongly encourages all teams to file for patent protection by filing a provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) before submitting for the FIRST Future Innovator Award.
  • Additional information regarding provisional patent applications can be found at www.uspto.gov.
  • Once an idea is shared through submission for this award, patent protection can only be sought in the United States and cannot be sought in any other jurisdiction, unless a provisional patent in another country has been filed before submission. (Patent laws vary from country to country, so please consult your country’s patent office or a patent professional familiar with the laws of your country to inquire about filing in your home country. The World Intellectual Property Organization provides information about the International Patent System at: http://www.wipo.int/pct/en/)
  • Judges for the award will be under a non-disclosure agreement with FIRST.
It is of course not perfect, but they are encouraging applicants to think about this, and provide some information on how to learn more about protecting their ideas.
