How to Prepare the Submittal Material |
|
|
|
After submitting the online entry form and CAF has received a payment confirmation from PayPal payment, a password to enter the portal will be sent to the participant via email.
Using the password, submitting individuals and firms will be allowed to upload images and text themselves and to adjust the display of their entries until they choose to submit them to CAF and the Jury. Once submitted, the entry’s display and content can no longer be altered. The entry will be reviewed and checked for completeness by CAF after which it will appear on the web site for viewing by the Jury Members and the public.
Common questions concerning the Digital Submittal Process and Requirements are answered in the website’s FAQ Section. Entrants should use the Contact Form to post their own questions. |
