How to submit to the ACE Awards

In our continued effort to make the submission process as easy as possible, we will be continuing to use the Iceberg awards management software.

Things to Note

  • You will need to register at the submission site.
  • It’s like a shopping cart – you register for an account then create your entries and put them in the cart. When you’re done, you can “check out” and submit the entries.
  • that entry is given an ID number. This is the ID number that you must attach to any physical submissions.
