It is important that you familiarise yourself with the National Awards Policy and Entry Handbook before starting your submission.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Online Entry:&nbsp;<\/strong>Awards submissions are made via an online entry system, and supplemented with additional entry materials. Entries are required to include a selection of digital images, drawings and plans which are also submitted via the online system. Online entries should be completed, paid and submitted before the closing date.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that your online entry should include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A square format hero image (1080X1080 pixel, 72 dpi) for social media purposes (Instagram).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Copyright and consent forms<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.architecture.com.au\/docs\/default-source\/national-architecture-awards---national-office\/consent-forms-a-b-amp-c.pdf?sfvrsn=0\">Copyright and consent forms<\/a> are now to be filled out and uploaded as part of your entry. Therefore, it is important that you have confirmed the project attribution at the beginning of the process and ensured all authors have given you their consent.<\/p>\n<h3>General tips to get your online entry started:<\/h3>\n<p>1. Contact details: The first time you use the online entry system, it will prompt you to register as a User. Please note that the address entered here will receive the automated emails from the system to do with this entry and the online entry system (eg. notifications of entry submitted, payment pending, etc.). The contact for the project entry (whether an Institute Member or not) should register as the User, and also provide their details in the Contact Details section of the form. There will be another opportunity within the form to provide the Member\u2019s email address for approval of the submission. If you have registered before in previous awards programs, you will not need to re-register. Please use your previous log in details.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2. Email addresses: Please refrain from providing generic email addresses for your entry (for example: admin@ or enquiries@, etc.). Communications often go missing if these inboxes are not well-monitored, so it is preferred if you provide a direct email address.<\/p>\n<p>3. Photography: If you haven\u2019t already, organise a photographer to take photos of your project straight away in order to avoid missing the submission deadline in your Chapter.<\/p>\n<p>4. Project attribution: Confirm the name of your project and practice attribution with all contributing authors before you begin your submission.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>5. Deadlines: We are not accepting any late submissions for the 2020 Awards program, so familiarise yourself with all Chapter submission deadlines early and get started on your submission.<\/p>\n<p>6. Hero image: Choose your hero image, and upload this first to the entry system. <em>*NB: Your hero image should be landscape orientation, and will be used in all promotional material for your project.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>7. Browser: Do not use Internet Explorer to complete your submission, as it is no longer supported by Microsoft. Other browsers we recommend include Google Chrome, Safari, and Firefox.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Award Categories and Prizes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The following categories are awarded at the Newcastle Architecture Awards.
