We welcome all eligible ASCE chapters to prepare submissions for an opportunity to become the next concrete canoe champion next June at the 2026 ASCE Civil Engineering Student Championships at Fairmont State University in Fairmont, West Virginia.  \nYou may not know this, but C4 is comprised of dedicated volunteers who care deeply about this competition and its continued success. Most of us are former competitors. Two of our members met their spouses through concrete canoe. I bring this up to really drive this home: we care about this a lot, and we know you do too.  \nEvery year, C4 holds a multiple days long workshop at the Society-wide finals. We review feedback from students, judges, and volunteers that we have collected throughout the year. We drill down on what is working and what isn ’t. Our discussions (fueled by your feedback) directly influence the changes we make each year.  \nSurprisingly, C4 received a significant amount of feedback this past year asking to make the competition harder. We have humbly honored this request. The changes within will throw a wrench into well-established systems, which I believe will be great for competition.  \nThe changes listed below are not all-encompassing. As always, read this year’s RFP completely and carefully to understand what you are being asked to produce. Some of the changes include: re-formatting the RFP to increase visual accessibility, overhauling the project proposal deliverables, increasing the “bite” of material compliance deductions associated with the Materials Notebook, placing a minimum freeboard design constraint on the canoe itself, re-introducing the calculations appendix, restricting the format of presentation slides, restricting the use of pigments and stains, tweaking the final product display, imposing a maximum unit weight requirement, and completely overhauling the scoring system. Finally, the society-wide finals will feature the return of the 3-person, 600-meter endurance slalom race. There’s a lot of change to digest here.  \nC4’s yearly workshop is also when we discuss the overarching theme for the next competition. This year, that theme is stewardship. C4 has always had a responsibility to be good stewards ofthis competition – to help guide and develop students, with kindness and compassion, into the next generation of well-rounded and ethical engineers. This responsibility coupled with your very passionate feedback and C4 ’s drive to always do right by the students (even if you don’t always agree with us), is what has inspired the changes you will read about within.  \nC4 expects students to be good stewards of the competition as well. It is expected that students will 1) help guide and develop the next generation of competitors for their programs and 2) demonstrate kindness and compassion, for all.  \nIn short, good vibes only. Good luck to you all. I hope to see you in Fairmont, WV! Sincerely,  \nCOMMITTEE ON CONCRETE CANOE COMPETITIONS  \nPatrick T.
