Hello!

As in the previous years, the awards for this year can be found on this years homepage: [RC 2025 - Awards](https://ssl.robocup.org/robocups/robocup-2025/robocup-2025-awards/) Like last year we will have the Excellence Award again, although the exact point system for this year is currently still in the works and going to be published in the next few weeks.

New Open Source Award Submission Deadline: The submission deadline for this year's Open Source award is now 2 weeks before the start of the tournament and therefore July 01st(AoE). The submissions must still be sent to the [SSL Mailing List](r***********l@lists.robocup.org), with the subject RoboCup 2025 - Open Source Award Submission <Your Team Name>. During the submission phase, we are going to collect all of them on the [Open Source Submission page](https://ssl.robocup.org/robocups/robocup-2025/robocup-2025-open-source-submi...). After the submission deadline we are going to publish the voting ballots, so that each team can already start with the evaluation of the submissions. The presentation of the submissions as well as the voting deadline will still be during the RoboCup, so that everyone still has the possibility to discuss each submission and the submitting team is able to answer open questions in person.

If you have any questions regarding the awards or this year's processes, please feel free to reach out to the SSL OC and TC.

Thank you,

David.
