I was wondering when and where we should submit the entries for the Teacher of the Year, Mentor of the Year, etc. awards. After searching the board, this site was used for last year and is still active:
http://robotevents.com/vexawards/
Should we submit to this site, or is there a specific procedure to follow?
I realize that a similar question was asked in January and was set to “Pending.” However, with less than a month until Worlds and no answer, I figured asking again would be appropriate.
This information has been sent to all of the world championship teams a couple times. Here’s the information for the 6 awards teams can submit for online in advance of the World Championship:
Special World Championship Online Award Submissions
There will be many awards earned by teams at the 2010 VRC World Championship. Judges will be present at the event, observing and speaking with teams during the competition to evaluate them on award criteria. However, there are six awards that require special interviews, presentations and/or online submissions in advance of the event at:
