Submissions Open!
August 15, 2006 through December 18, 2006
We knew this would be fun-but the excitement level around this competition has exceeded even our expectations! We can hardly wait to start seeing the entries come in. We're ready-the submission pages on the website are now open.
Here are a few tips to help you through the process.
First, you will need to sign in with your Microsoft® Passport Network credentials. If you don't currently have an e-mail address and password to sign in to sites on the Passport Network, sign up. It's free. Choose a regular account rather than a limited account.
You will need to have downloaded the Entry Kit and read through all the materials. Please be sure to format your files as specified. File uploads must match the requirements or they will not be accepted.
The Entry Questions document has been created as a form. You can use the tab key to move through the questions, or you can click to the right of the question and your cursor will automatically move to a text field in which you can type or paste your answer. Let us know if you have any trouble with this.
One more thing-and this is important! This competition has been designed so that the jury doesn't know whose work they are judging. Because of that, it is very important that you don't include your name or any other identifying mark in the submission materials-except the Design Credit List document. You will be sent a confirmation number that you will use to identify your mail-in materials.
Thanks to those of you who have written in with questions or comments and good luck to you all.
