Special Awards

UPDATED January 10th, 2010

We are looking for special award sponsors for the 2010-2011 Idaho Regional Competition.  Teachers and parents express how much they appreciate the special awards at the competition since they give students additional opportunities to win recognition even if they are not one of the top 5 teams at the regional competition.

Here is how the Special Awards work:
If a firm, professional society, or other organization makes a donation to the Idaho Future City Competition at the $300 or higher level, they get to sponsor a special award.  The sponsors let us know the name and the criteria for the award as well as provide judges to evaluate the models and interview the students.  A representative from the sponsor will present the award at the awards ceremony. 

Contact Bill Holder (sponsors@futurecityidaho.org) if you are interested in sponsoring a special award.  Additional examples can be viewed at http://www.futurecity.org/ where you can check out the special awards for the national competition.

The following firms/organizations sponsored special awards at the 5th Idaho Regional Competition:
