Sponsorships: Special Awards
Hundreds of students every year become involved in the North Texas Future City Competition. They work hard from September-January on the five phases of the competition and their five deliverables. And what they accomplish is truly inspiring.
The Special Awards program allows us to reward many more of these outstanding student teams for their special innovation and ingenuity. And, it gives you, the sponsor, the opportunity to emphasize the particular areas of technology that are important to you.
