Register for the regional contest: Make sure that the students who will compete at the regional contest are properly registered for the competition. Remind the students that they have time to revise their projects. Write thank you notes: It's a great idea to send thank you notes to judges. After your first year, you can build a base of loyal judges that commit to your program year after year. Tell the media about the students' success: Send out another press release to the local paper so the community can see the great work the students are doing, largely through their own motivation.
