Welcome to ACI's 2016 contest!

It's our first year online, and we hope you find the entry process easier than in past years.

Before you can submit any entries, you'll need to register. If you haven't aready done so, just click the "Register" button and provide all required information. After you register, click the "Login" button to log in.

Once you are logged in, you'll find a detailed explanation of the entry process on the "Home" tab. You can create and upload a new entry, review or edit entries to get them ready for submission, and submit entries to the contest.

Each category has its own description, judging criteria and entry format. Be sure to review these before submitting an entry. You can always save your work and come back later to review it before submission. Once you have submitted an entry, its status will change from "Incomplete" to "Submitted" or "Accepted." All entries must be submitted before the deadline to be considered. The deadline is March 1, 2017, at 11:59:59 p.m.

Helpful tip: Save your work often. If you experience problems, click "save," then logout or quit and login again. Please report ongoing problems to me immediately. This is our first year running the contest online, and I am committed to solving issues as they arise.

If you need help or have a question about the entry requirements, contact the chair for that category or send me an email. I'm here to help!
