Q. What if we miss the submission period but still want to enter?
A. You can submit anytime during the year but your judging period may be shorter than the others because it will be uploaded in two weeks from the time it is submitted with payment.
Q. How many entries can we submit, and do the stories have to be from this year?
A. You can submit an unlimited number of entries from any year. However, only one story can be submitted per entry form.
Q. Who can submit a story, and can we use generic names?
A. Anyone can submit a story. You can be a solution provider, manufacturer, university, economic development, PR firm, etc. If you are representing a client's story, you can use generic names to keep company names private. e.g. 'Dairy Manufacturer' or '3PL with Freezer Trucks'
Q. What kind of content can we submit?
A. You can submit any content that we are able to store in our Resource Library. This includes PDFs of articles, blogs, case studies, white papers, books & guidebooks. And, downloadable media like podcasts, webinars, videos, etc. Please see the file size restrictions in 'Requirements' above.
Q. Will our submissions be listed anywhere else?
A. The Smart Story Awards website page will showcase all the entries on June 18th, 2019. We will promote this page as well as the individual summary pages. Look for #SmartStoryAwards on twitter. Some of our media sponsors will be promoting the webpage, and stories may be written about in their publications with or without an additional interview.
Q. Will the form save my answers?
A. The online form does not allow you to save your work and go back to it at a later time to complete. Please make a copy of your answers while you are entering the data in. The data will be emailed to you only after hitting the submit button at the end of the entry form.
Q. Do all questions have to be answered?
A. Not all questions require an answer. Most of the questions in the form are similar to information presented on case study summary pages. Please fill out as much as you can and are willing to share publicly.
Q. What if we need to edit our summary page information after we submit?
A. You will receive an email after completing the first and second form with a copy of your answers. If there are any edits needed, you can send HQ the edits directly in a reply to that email. HQ will allow only one email of edits per entry. Or, you can wait to be notified when your entry is uploaded into the Resource Library and then you can send one email of edits at that time. Note: Form 2 which is strictly for internal content tagging will not be able to be edited.
