FAQ

1. Why do I need to log in to submit an entry?

Logging in with your username and password allows the system to save the data you entered. It also allows you to save entry information allowing you to take a break or sign off and upon your return the data will still be there.

2. Can I submit the same entry into more than one category?

Yes, you may enter it into as many categories as you wish. Entering one piece in multiple categories substantially increases your chances of winning recognition for your work. Please note that there is an entry fee for each category you enter.

3. Can I enter the same work in multiple competitions?

Yes, as long as your work fits the criteria for submissions. Please note that there is an entry fee for each category you enter.

4. How do I add an entry submission to my cart?

Our online entry process makes that easy to do. There is a button before you proceed to check-out that lets you add submissions to your cart.

5. I am ready to upload my entries. How do I do this?

Go to your account page, and select Upload Piece to upload pieces to specific entries. You can upload the pieces while making the entry or after you’ve submitted the entry.

6. How do I make sure that my entries were uploaded correctly?

Once 72 hours have gone by, you can check your upload using the links to preview your entry. All submissions are reviewed prior to judging so if there are any issues with your entry file, you will be sent an email notification.

7. If I am asked to be on a jury, can I still enter?

Yes, you can. However, you will not be able to vote on any work that has been submitted by your company. You will be requested to abstain from voting on your own work.

8. If I'm unsure of the correct category for my entry what do I do?
