The casual observer may see the BEST award as just a "spirit" award, but the truth is that the BEST award is whole lot more than the 10% awarded for spirit and sportsmanship. For 2003, 50% of the the SA BEST award points were for the project notebook and 30% of the points were for the table display and interview. The BEST Award Guidelines detail the point distribution, and what is expected of teams.
The teams that finished first and second in the BEST Award have provided their notebooks as an example to help other teams improve their notebooks:
Below are pictures of some of the other elements that make up the BEST award.
