Once you have reviewed your nomination you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top or bottom of the screen or on the navigation panel. You will not be able to submit your nomination until all the compulsory questions are completed and there are no validation errors.
Once you have submitted your nomination, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.
When you submit your nomination, you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your submitted form attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register.
If you do not receive a confirmation of submission email then you should presume that it has NOT been submitted.
Hint: also check the email hasn’t landed in your spam or junk email folder.
You are required to upload/submit attachments to support your nomination. This is very simple, but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a storage device.
You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.
