The event hosts teams from various registered welding programs, with a limited number of students allowed in the action arena at a time; no limit on team members attending and supporting. All teams will be limited to the same start and stop time, finished or not. Teams will fabricate their project on day one, with the secret component being welded on the morning of day two. At noon on the second day, each team will demonstrate the functionality of their project and cook lunch for both their team and the judges. Awards will be given to the teams with the most accurate fabrication project as determined by the judges. Other award categories include best red, yellow, blue, or other welding equipment manufacture themed “Welding Thunder” road rig, trailer, or contest work site; best of event welding PPE equipment and uniform themed team; best of event team spirit; people’s choice award (there can be only one); and best tasting “Grill and Griddle” meal winner.
