The Ranatra Fusca Creativity Award is the highest award in the Odyssey of the Mind program and should not be given indiscriminately. Only make a nomination if exceptional creativity is exhibited.

May be given to coaches, team members, parents, officials or others who serve as positive examples or role models through their actions and words, or to team members who exhibit exceptional skill, as opposed to creativity. It is awarded to individuals who exemplify the spirit and philosophy of the Odyssey of the Mind, or to teams/team members who exhibit exceptional talent, outstanding sportsmanship, and/or astounding teamwork.
