  • Honorable Mention Recognition

Every student team member who enters the competition with a complete entry will receive a certificate of participation and a small gift. Student entry certificates and gifts will be sent to the coach for distribution. Coaches are encouraged to submit all completed ExploraVision projects so that every student can be recognized for his or her effort.

The coach and mentor of each finalist team will be given a trip to Washington, D.C., in June, to attend the awards ceremony. Each coach and mentor of the 24 regional winning teams will receive a gift. Every coach and mentor who sponsors a team with a complete entry will receive a small gift and a certificate of participation.
