FAQ

Do I need to create an account to submit a nomination?

No, only nominees need to make an account to enter their full submission.

Can I nominate more than once? 

Yes, you can nominate multiple individuals, businesses, or organizations for different awards. However, nominating them for the same award category multiple times will not increase their chances of becoming a finalist or winning.   

How do I know if I've been nominated?

You will receive a confirmation email with a link to create or login to your account. 

Fill in your name, contact information, and email and password, and you're set! When you sign up, you'll be logged in automatically and can start creating your entries right away.

How do I complete my online submission?

When you first log into your account, you'll see a "Start a new entry" form. Simply choose which category you want to enter, give your entry a title, and click the "Start" button. In the form that loads, you will find all the information you need in order to submit an entry to your selected category. You don't have to complete your entry all in one sitting. Your entry saves while you work, so you can always come back to it later.

Can I make changes to my entry after I've submitted it?

Yes, you can continue to edit your entries until the submission deadline. After the deadline, you will be able to view your entries, but the editing controls will be disabled.

Do I need any kind of special software to make my entries?

This awards system is entirely web-based. You can create your entries on your phone, iPad, laptop, or any computer. All you need is a browser.

How do you protect my information?

Your account is protected by industry-leading 4096-bit encryption, and the entire system is backed up every day.
