Step-by-Step Instructions

Review the list of categories and select one(s) you wish to enter. You can enter as many categories as you like.

Note that many projects are suitable for entry in more than one category. You can enter as many categories as you like, but each requires a separate entry fee.

 

Make sure your title, institution and address are correct. Click on My Account in the upper-right corner of case.org to make any changes you would like.

For assistance updating your profile, contact CASE Member Support.

Every category has the same standard entry questions:

  • Provide a concise summary of your entry (250 words maximum)
  • Methodology and Strategy: How did you accomplish your goals? Provide a list of no more than 10 key activities and/or decisions that were central to your success.
  • Resources: Describe and detail how your resources were used (budget and staff)
  • Outcomes: Describe your goals/objectives and how they were measured/met. (500 words maximum)
  • What makes your entry distinctive? (500 words maximum)

(A few categories have additional questions specific to that award area.)

Using our new online portal, entering and updating your information is easy. 

The portal accepts most file types and files up to 500MB. (For larger files such as videos, please provide a hyperlink.)

Prepare all of your entries and add them to your cart until you are ready to pay.

All materials are submitted online. No items are to be mailed.

Once you are satisfied that your entry materials are complete, follow the prompts to check out and pay for your entry.
