Eligibility Criteria All entry materials or programs must have been produced or executed between November 1, 2004 and October 31, 2005. All entries must be accompanied by a downloaded entry form. Each must be received by the appropriate Judging Coordinator by Nov. 18, 2005. All entries must adhere to guidelines listed under "Preparing and Submitting Your Entry" and as specified for the division and category entered. All entry fees must be paid no later than Nov. 18, 2005. These can be paid on-line using a credit card. They also can be mailed along with a downloaded and completed payment form, and submitted to the Awards Program Chair, to arrive no later than Nov. 18, 2005. If Accounts Payable at your institution might delay the payment, please notify the Awards Chair. DO NOT send the payment form to the Judging Coordinator. This will delay posting of your fee payment. You may pay on-line, but must complete the transaction no later than Nov. 18, 2005. Preparing and Submitting Your Entry Refer to each division and category for required documentation to accompany your entry. Almost all entries should be submitted in a standard binder (obviously a website can't be placed in a binder). A binder may be made of plastic, paper or similar material and may hold its contents by clip, three rings, or other similar binding. This will serve to keep your entry together as one unit throughout the judging, display, and archival processes. All winning entries are sent to the District Archives at CASE International. Printed materials and photographs too large for standard binders can be packaged or mounted to prevent damage. These cannot be presented, however, in any way other than as received or viewed by the targeted audience. In other words, no show packaging or presentation is permitted. The entry must stand on its own merits. All entries must be submitted, with a downloaded entry form and a self-addressed, stamped business envelope for notification of the final results, to the appropriate Judging Coordinator listed under each major division. Note that the address of each Judging Coordinator includes a building address to be used if entries are sent via UPS or Express Mail. Please review these carefully to ensure that your entry is sent to the appropriate address. Unless paying on-line please send entry fees and payment form to: Jon Jones Judging & Notification of the Winners Qualified professionals from education and the private sector will judge all categories. Each Judging Coordinator will act as a host for the judges and as entry coordinator for that category or division. Any institution which has a representative on the judging panel is ineligible to enter that category. In each category judges will have the option of awarding one Grand Award and up to four Awards of Excellence and five Special Merit Awards. Winners will be notified by letter from the Judging Coordinator by Jan. 5, 2006. All entrants sending a self-addressed, stamped business envelope will be notified of the judge's decision. Award certificates suitable for framing will be available for winners at the 2006 CASE District III Conference. The names of the winners will also be published in an official Awards Listing and distributed at the conference. If you have suggestions for refinements or new categories to be considered for future awards programs, if you would like serve as a volunteer for the Awards program at the conference, or would like to serve as a Judging Coordinator, please contact the Awards Program Co-Chairs. Deadline Remember, the deadline for entry and payment is November 18, 2005. Failure to meet either the entry or the payment deadline could result in disqualification. Return of Entries Entry materials will not be returned after judging unless the entry is accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope that will accommodate the size and weight of the entry. Winning entries will not be returned. They will be held for display at the District III Conference in Atlanta in February 2006, and then sent to the CASE District Archives at CASE International. |
