Victor Announces 2014 Student Cutting and Welding Contest
September 1, 2014
This "Victor Man" sculpture won one of the three team awards in the 2013 Victor Technologies "A Cut Above" contest.
Victor Technologies will award more than $30,000 in equipment and cash prizes as part of its 2014 "A Cut Above" student contest. The contest is open to students in cutting, welding and related programs (e.g., Ag Mechanics) at secondary and post-secondary schools.
"Three beginner students will each win $250 by submitting a 500-word essay that the judges deem best support the contest theme," said a company spokesperson. "Judges will also choose three advanced student winning teams, and each member of the winning team will win $500. Advanced students will submit a team metal fabrication project that incorporates an oxy-fuel, air-fuel or plasma cutting process. Further, each of the schools associated with the winners at their time of entry will receive the following prize package, valued at more than $4,000:
- One Victor Medalist 250 Medium Duty Cutting System
- One Victor Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 42 Air Plasma Cutting Outfit
- One Tweco Fabricator 211i3-in-1 Stick-MIG-TIG Welding Machine Kit
- Two Tweco 4-sensor auto-darkening welding helmets."
