Challenge Details

Show us what makes your team unique. Your photo should tell the judges a story about your team and what makes you different from the rest. Different teams will focus on different aspects of the VEX Robotics experience to accomplish this goal.

Things to keep in mind for a successful submission:

• Consider the technical aspects of your photo, including lighting and composition

• Your photo should be at least 1000 pixels wide if it’s horizontal, or 1000 pixels tall if it’s vertical

• Give your submission a title that supports the content of the photo, and include it in the text PDF and file names

• Only one photo can be submitted per team, so work together to choose your best shot!

• Your submission must include a short statement in English that describes your team and photo to the judges, plus a title page that provides the photo title, student names, team number, and team location
