		HOW:  100% ONLINE AWARD ENTRY PROCESS
		Upload your entry (including all digital files) directly into this platform. If you’ve already submitted an entry for PRSA National’s Silver Anvil Awards, you can easily enter your campaign in the Big Apple Awards – our processes are aligned! Maximize your exposure by submitting a campaign entry for consideration in up to three award categories - adding the extra categories just requires a couple of extra clicks and you'll be all set! 
		Complete your entries over time by saving your work-in-progress and returning at your convenience until all information is complete. Conclude the entry process by submitting payment via a secure server.  
		Links to additional details and resources to support the entry process can be found on the menu bar after you login. 
		If you need assistance please reach out to a member of the PRSA-NY staff or a member of the 2018 Big Apple team (e-mail and phone options found on the CONTACT page).  
		  
	GOOD LUCK!
