Submission Guidelines

Creating Your Submission Please use the WinWord Template provided.

Please DO:

  • Use MS WinWord or compatible.

  • Do not change the page sizes or margins in document template.

  • Make sure that all information in any graphic or table is legible when printed in black/white and fits in the column width of 5 inches.

  • Remember that very colorful screen captures and other graphics do not reproduce well in black/white Compress your file using WinZip or similar and upload the completed document via the Entry Form. No hard copy, emailed or faxed submissions will be accepted.

  • You must also fill in the online entry form that will be made available.

Please DO NOT:

  • Do not send in PDF format.

  • Do not include a Contents Page, Header or Footer data, or logo watermarks. Only page numbers at the bottom of the page are required.

  • Do not exceed 25 pages inclusive of any images, graphs or tables. Concise and readable is better. Aim for 6-18 pages.

Submission Notes

  • The submission must address the installation from the perspective of the USER—in other words, avoid vendor-oriented press-release type submissions.

  • We do want to know about the technology, products, vendors and suppliers, but they should not be "hyped."

  • The nominator and nominee can be from the same company, and vendors and integrators may nominate customers. There is no limit to the number of workflow installations that you may nominate. Use the required format headings as the chapter headings in your submission.

  • Each chapter should be about one to three pages long with appropriate subheadings for clarity (numbered and bullet-point paragraphs are acceptable where appropriate). Where possible, inserted graphics should be based on vector graphics (rather than JPEG or BPM images).

  • IMPORTANT NOTE: We recognize that certain information on projects is considered sensitive and/or proprietary. The Judges undertake to keep this information confidential in both the Awards announcements and any publications unless we have your permission. We want you to feel confident that you can submit truly compelling case studies without compromising your competitive advantage. Please indicate on your submission document any information you consider confidential.
