2025 Student Steel Bridge Competition John M. Yadlosky Most Improved Team Award
While some teams have access to abundant resources and can learn from a history of success, others may start with very little. The most determined teams will overcome these challenges and take their team’s performance to the next level to set a foundation for future success. We’re looking for demonstrated year-over-year improvement of your team’s performance and how your team will seek to improve in the future.
For the 2025 SSBC John M. Yadlosky Most Improved Team Award, eligible teams must have participated (presented for aesthetics judging and staged bridge for construction) in an SSBC regional competition in 2025, 2024, and 2023. Participation, rankings, and scores will be verified. As part of the application, teams will also describe their challenges and how they would plan to use the award funds.
The winning team will receive a $2,000 grant to be used for future SSBC participation. One representative from the winning team will be invited to attend the 2025 SSBC National Finals and will receive travel reimbursement for their hotel and airfare. (Some restrictions apply.) This trip is intended to expose the team to the top level of competition.
Entries must be received before 5:00 p.m. EDT on April 28, 2025 to be considered.
