Nominations are now open for Tomorrow’s Technician magazine’s third annual School of the Year award, sponsored by Chicago Pneumatic.
Students, teachers, parents and school administrators are encouraged to nominate their programs for the 2010 School of the Year award by Dec. 31, 2009. Nominations can be made at www.ttschooloftheyear.com.
Participating schools have the chance to win their share of $25,000 in tool prizes, with $10,000 in Chicago Pneumatic tools going to the school crowned as the 2010 School of the Year, and $5,000 to each of three regional finalists.
The prize packages for the four finalists expand in 2010. Wix Filters joins the program as a participating sponsor this year and has added $12,500 in filters to the overall prize package. In addition, the four regional finalists will have the opportunity to send select students to Charlotte, N.C., to attend the Wix Institute of Filtration Technology and a behind-the-scenes tool demonstration and tour at Joe Gibbs Racing.
The winning institution will also receive a special event at their school hosted by Chicago Pneumatic, Tomorrow’s Technician and Wix Filters, with special guest Rich Evans, car fabricator and owner of Huntington Beach Bodyworks.
Tomorrow’s Technician, a sister publication of Tire Review, will reveal the Top 20 schools in the United States in February 2010, with four regional winners announced in April and the School of the Year honored in May.
