"Best New Team" Award
Due to the sheer number of new teams at the 2010 venue in Doha, the organisers saw fit to institute the "Best New Team" Award, which was to be awarded to the highest-ranking team from a country which had not previously taken part in the competition. This award was given to Team UAE. In 2011 the award was given to Team Barbados and in 2012 - Team Swaziland.

Famous quotes containing the words team and/or award:
“Romeo. I dreamt a dream tonight.
Mercutio. And so did I.
Romeo. Well, what was yours?
Mercutio. That dreamers often lie.
Romeo. In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.
Mercutio. O then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomi
Over men’s noses as they lie asleep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
