FAQ
HOW DO I CREATE AN ACCOUNT?
Click here to find the "create account" form. Fill in your name, contact information, email and password, and you're set! When you sign up, you'll be logged in automatically and can start creating your entries right away. If you have created an account for entries in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 or 2024 please use that log in.
WHERE DO I GO TO SUBMIT ENTRIES?
When you first log into your account, you'll see a "Start a new entry" form. Simply choose which category you want to enter, give your entry a title, and click the "Start" button. In the form that loads, you will find all the information you need in order to submit an entry to your selected category. You don't have to complete your entry all in one sitting. Hit the "Save" button any time, and come back to it later.
When you're finished, tap the "Send on to the judges!" button at the bottom of the entry form. Your entries are considered "officially entered" once payment for your entry fees has been received.
HOW DO I PAY?
Entry fees are processed online. Payment must be received before your submissions are considered eligible for competition.
CAN I MAKE CHANGES TO MY ENTRY AFTER I'VE SUBMITTED IT?
Yes, you can continue to edit your entries until the submission deadline. After the deadline, you will be able to view your entries, but the editing controls will be disabled.
DOES MY PROJECT LOCATION HAVE TO BE WITHIN LONDON OR CAN IT BE OUT OF TOWN?
You can submit a project from the London area as long as there are no other HBA's within that area. For instance, projects cannot be located within the STEHBA boundary (including Port Stanley, Central Elgin and St. Thomas).
DO I NEED ANY KIND OF SPECIAL SOFTWARE TO MAKE MY ENTRIES?
This awards system is entirely web-based. You can create your entries on your phone, tablet, laptop, or any computer. All you need is a browser.
