*NEW!* MVRC MENTOR OF THE YEAR AWARD

New for 2016, the MVRC is giving teams the opportunity to recognize one of their own team mentors for their special contributions to the team and FIRST in general.

The MVRC Mentor of the Year Award winner will earn a painted plasma-cut steel trophy with a look and feel similar but not identical to the Event Winner and Finalist trophies.

Here are the entry guidelines:

    • Only one entry per competing FRC team (i.e. practice bot spots can’t submit entries).
    • Nominations must be written by students.
    • Students can only nominate mentors on their team.
    • One page typed essay entries must be turned in by Monday September 19th so they can be evaluated and a winner selected before event day.
    • Entries must clearly indicate nominee name, team number, and team name.
    • Please email your team's entry to contact@neofra.com.
    • The winner will be announced during the closing awards ceremony.
