Data Artistic Award

Rewarded to any officer in the fleet who has made a consistent effort to enter each of the bi-monthly writing challenges. Most notably, the officer must have continued participation even if their submissions were not picked as the winner, thus sticking with the challenge and always giving other something exciting to read.

The award is named after the late Lt. Cmdr. Data of the USS Enterprise-E, an officer who always attempted arts such as poetry, painting, acting, and singing, keeping up his attempts even if he did not succeed or gain critical praise with his first attempts.

Introduced for the '06 ceremony.
