Do I need to create an account?

No, you do not need to create an account to nominate an organization or individual for an award. Click here for the nominations form. 

Yes, if you have been nominated, accept the nomination, and would like to complete a submission to the awards. A Chamber Staff or Board of Directors member will reach out to you if you have been nominated and help you with the process.

How do I create an account?

Click here to find the "create account" form. 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.

Where does a nominee go to submit entries?

When you first log into your account, you'll see a "Start a new entry" form. If you have been nominated for more than one category, choose which one 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. Hit the "Save" button any time, and come back to it later.

When you're finished, tap the "Send to judges" button at the bottom of the entry form. Your entry is considered "officially entered".

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

Yes, you can continue to edit your entry 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 entry on your phone, iPad, laptop, or any computer. All you need is a browser. If you have any challenges using the system, email info@slchamber.ca for support.
