Due to the volume of entries that must be judged over the two day time period, we ask that a maximum of 4 photos are submitted for this category to ensure our judges have sufficient time to review all material thoroughly.
Thankfully, no! Our system automatically renames the files once uploaded, so no specific naming conventions are required.
Providing context can help the judges better understand the work they’re reviewing. The context description helps meet that need across all ACE Award categories. However, there are some categories where it is difficult to describe the work being entered in words and photos alone. Therefore, ACE will also allow (but not require) descriptive videos to accompany entries in the following categories:
Please note the following rules regarding descriptive videos:
If you aren’t able to create a video for your submission, ACE will also accept a PowerPoint or Keynote presentation. Maximum 12 slides. The same rules around outcome information, identifying marks, and submission timelines/process apply. If you plan to proceed with this option, please email [email protected] to arrange for sending of the presentation.
For more information about the submissions or categories, please see our Call For Entries page.
