Nominations for 2020 FutureTechs Rock Awards Now Open

Nominations for TechForce Foundation’s annual FutureTechs Rock Awards are now open, the organization has announced.

As a nonprofit dedicated to helping student techs achieve their professional dreams, TechForce created the award to honor the student community and recognize those who have a promising future and will shape the transportation industry. Nominations are open through March 24.

There will be a finalist for each of the ten transportation categories (including automotive, diesel, collision, etc.), and one of those category finalists will become the People’s Choice Grand Prize winner.

Each category finalist, selected by a panel of industry experts, will receive an AutoZone gift card, Duralast tool set, online subscription to Haynes Manuals, Ford Professional tools and ASE study guides from Cengage Learning.

The grand prize winner, chosen by popular vote, will have the option to choose between a $1,000 TechForce Foundation Scholarship and other great prizes, including an iPad Air from Ford Motor Company.

April 6-10 is the People’s Choice voting period, when the public will cast their votes (more than 25,000 votes last year) among ten national finalists.
