All winning participants will receive a personalized certificate listing their designation and project information for all to see. Trophies and Photo Medals will also be distributed. As an added bonus, winning students who attend the festival will receive a commemorative festival medallion! But wait--that’s not all. Ceremony attendees will have a chance to win door prizes thoughtfully provided by our Corporate Partners. Please plan to join us and bask in the glory!
