General Online Instructions
Submitters will be automatically informed of the unique ID numbers and passwords assigned to their nomination. Entries may be viewed and modified at any time between submission and the deadline, using the assigned ID# and password.
The online submission system divides the submittal process into a series of steps. The applicant will complete the requirements for a step, review and save the step, then proceed to next step following the buttons at the bottom of each page. Steps must be completed in sequence. At any point prior to the deadline, you may revisit any completed step within your entry to make editorial changes. Click the applicable step in the step tab bar, edit the data, and save the step once again.
The online submission process sends email notifications. Sometimes universities and/or institutions block these confirmation emails, mistaking them for spam. We encourage you to add stti_awards@confex.com to your address book in order to ensure you receive communication regarding your submission.
