Mentor Award Submissions will open in late 2025 for the 2026 State Tournament Award.

Key points:
- Only the most recent complete submission for each nominee will be reviewed. Do not encourage or request multiple submissions.
- If a team has already been to a qualifier, the coach or mentor may still be honored at the State Tournament. Some tournaments may not have sufficient nominations to give out the award at the event.
- The team does not need to advance for a coach or mentor to be nominated or awarded.
