The Shira Brownstein Award is presented to the student who best shows the values of friendship, generosity, modesty, and helping others in the forensics community. It was established in memory of Shira Brownstein, a Tallahassee Community College forensics team member who passed away in 2011.

The other NWFS students receiving individual honors are Lola Sennett, Isaiah Taylor, and Mason Porter.
