ConocoPhillips Youth of Distinction Awards (AKA I know an undercover superhero that deserves recognition)

Everyday superheros don’t wear capes or spandex, but they still manage to save the day – be it from cancer, boredom, or pollution.
We all have those people in our lives who are so passionate and amazing at what they do – that someone should really give them an award! (Or maybe that person is you!)

Well, here’s your chance! The annual  ConocoPhillips Youth Of Distinction Awards (YODA) are open for nomination!
These awards celebrate the outstanding ways youth have chosen to live, and focus on values like leadership, friendship, dedication, creativity, and service. (Notice that school grades are not on the list).
