The title should suggest something that the sponsor organization does or strives for. Please do not use the organization name as the title of the award. The XYZ Society Award presented by the XYZ Society is not something middle school students can relate to.
Here are a few examples of what a meaningful award title could be Excellence in Regional Planning Award presented by Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission
or Creative Application of Civil Works presented by Society of American Military Engineers, Philadelphia Post
Sponsors are encouraged to provide one or two people to evaluate the teams at the competition for their special award. These volunteers need to register at least a week before the competition on our Volunteer Opportunities page as Special Award Evaluators.
