Chairman's Award Criteria

Hi, wondering if any you have advice on writing the essay for this award. What do the judges look for in an essay? How are the essays judged? etc. All advice is useful as this is our first year competing for this award.

FIRST publishes the guidelines as well as some resources to help you get started. I recommend reading past winners at regional and championship levels to see the different ways you can structure your submission. Good Luck!

Also Simbotics (Chaampionship Chairman’s Award winners in 2012) have an excellent powerpoint:
