Advice for a Smooth Application Process
It is recommended that you copy these questions into a Word document and then answer the questions and edit your answers in that document. When you are ready to submit your project for an award, simply copy and paste the answers from your Word document into the appropriate fields of the on-line application.
This method will allow you to work on your answers until you are satisfied with them at your leisure, and you will have a copy of the questions and answers for your files.
You will be pasting your answers into text only fields. Please be aware of the word limits for the various questions.
No additional documentation beyond what you can paste into the fields will be considered by the judges.
Questions? Please contact Gretchen Scruggs, Marketing Project Coordinator, Government Technology Executive Events at gscruggs@govtech.net or 916-932-1330.
Good luck!
