Can I include the project name in the project PDF?
Yes, you can—just make sure you don’t identify the submitting firm or designer. Submissions are to remain anonymous.

Do I have to start and finish my submission in one session?  
No. You can start your submission and come back to finish it before11:59pm on the applicable program deadline date.

What should I do if I did not receive a confirmation e-mail containing my submission details?
First, be sure you clicked "Save and Finalize" when you submitted your materials. If you did, check your junk mail folder- it's possible that your spam filter sent the e-mail there. If you still can't locate it, please contact the office at 203.865.2195 for assistance or send us an email.

I plan to submit in more than one category or award; do I need to register for an account each time?
No, your first registration creates an account. You can log back in to your account to register for more categories and/or awards. 

What if I forget my password?
Click on "Lost Password" to reset your password. 

What is the difference between the Registration Round and the Submission Round?
The Registration Round requires your basic information and payment. This confirms your participation in the award program. 
The Submission Round requires your project materials. This is the round that the judges will evaluate so be sure not to add any identifying information to your project materials. 

Why do I have a "Needs Attention" application?
This means that you have successfully paid and are committed to participating in an award program. The "Needs Attention" application refers to the Submission Round where you will be uploading all of your project materials. 

If you still have questions, call the AIA Connecticut office at 203.865.2195 or send us an email.
