Read the entry information carefully to ensure that you have entered your project/s into the most appropriate category.
The written submissions are very important and are read carefully by the jurors. Ensure that you:
- Respond to the criteria succinctly and with relevant, factual information. Point form is better than paragraphs of information. Avoid repetition.
- Present your project in the best possible light. Don’t leave preparation of the written section to the last minute.
- Remember that, in addition to describing your project, your written submission should make a strong case for the project receiving an award by identifying characteristics that are outstanding or ground-breaking.
For completed projects, use a professional photographer. Select images that illustrate what you have said about your project in the written materials.
