I believe that the award would lose its purpose if a team were to give themselves the award. Any self-respecting team wouldn't do something like that in public, don't you think?

You'd have to either be excessively proud, or very misled, to give yourself an award.

Because the whole point is, animators support animators. We make animations because we learn from them, not to win a shiny trinket.

Personally, I don't care about my team's animation. It'll come out the way it comes out. And you know what? I'm not very proud of it, because it was just a tool for our animation team to learn more about a very complicated subject. The illusion of life, computer graphics, crazy mouse-based user interface, whatever. It's the learning experience that is the award.

So, I think that as long as FIRST teams are still rational, there won't be any self-awards. And they're a lot more fun to give out than receive.
