I did a Power Point Presentation with these photos and their group shots. I had to do a preamble for almost every award because they're very language- and culture-rich. But I think that I pulled off some humour. The kids got a really big kick out of the presentation.
In no particular order:
 The brute force award. 150 kg wouldn't break this 480 g bridge. |  The most elegant bridge. held 551 X its own weight. really good use of material and colour. |  The most patriotic bridge. Apparently, there is a story behind the flag. |
 Close but no cigar award. Held 270 times its own weight. |  The never judge a bridge by its cover award. This 120g bridge held 90 kg. I also considered the biggest over-achiever, the little bridge that could, and the ugly duckling. |  It looked even better in real life but it wasn't especially strong. It held only 153X its own weight. Best eye-candy award. |
 All that glitters is glued. |  The Mark McGwire award. The box they bought did say "popsicle sticks" although the rules explicitly said no tongue depressors. |  Most original bridge. Cable stay? out of popsicle sticks? |
 The less is more award |  the more is more award. |  The little bridge that could. held almost 400 times its own weight. |
 The quality is job 1 award. This was meticulously designed and constructed. Using steam and ammonia to create the arch. |  best supporting actruss |  The wood wide web award? I love this photo, more for the seamless than anything. |

The eye-candy bridge is definitely my fave, followed by the bridges-of-many-colours.
Hm. I find the bridges of many colours a little busy. At least the best supporting actruss organised the colour. And I think that the colour trim on the most elegant bridge is very effective.
i had to look up mark mcgwire.
