Year-End Awards Nominations Now Open (Due Wednesday, 3/6)

We’re excited to announce that nominations for the high school CDL Year-End Awards (awarded at the Chicago Debate Championship on March 30th) are now open!

Because our awards will include engraved gavel plaques, the turnaround for these nominations is short – we need these by the end of the day on Wednesday, 3/6.

These nominations include:

Most Valuable Debater – EACH school attending (and that is all of our schools) will have one debater that wins an award as their school’s Most Valuable Debater, to be recognized in front of all of our league on Saturday, 3/30

Golden Gavel Award for Coach of the Year – $300 for the overall winner, $100 for each Conference Finalist that does not win the overall award

Debater of the Year

Outstanding Judge of the Year
