First of all, we would like to thank all the Nova East Odyssey coaches who worked with their teams and helped them submit to the first-ever Virtual Odyssey of the Mind tournament in Virginia. On Saturday night there was a virtual awards ceremony online, and teams were recognized for their efforts and achievements. The event was recorded, and we are hoping to release the link soon; however, we need to wait for CCI’s approval before doing so since World Finals has not occurred yet.
In fact, it’s important to mention that this year ALL teams are eligible to participate in either the Virtual World Finals or the In-Person World Finals in Orlando, Florida, pending your school’s approval. Information about those events can be found at https://www.odysseyofthemind.com/ If your team is interested in participating in either of those events, you will want to get right on it and register for those events. Time is of the essence.
Special congratulations go to these teams who won top honors in our region:
