This year, in an effort to simplify the process, you will compile you project summary, photos and photo narrative in a PowerPoint file using the template provided which you can download using the link on this page.
The template consists of a collection of the following:
This slide is used to enter your Project Summary, a written description of the project and why you feel it qualifies for recognition in our program. You enter your summary into the "Presenter notes" section of the slide - not the slide itself. The slide points you in the right direction.
Important: There is a strict 300-word limit on the length of your summary. It is also useful for you to download the judging score sheet for your project's category and make sure that your summary and project photos inform the judges of how you met the scoring critera. The judges are instructed to judge based solely on the information provided and to avoid assuming that you satisfied the requirement.
- 12. These 10 slides are where you insert your photos. You are not obliged to include 10, but are not permitted to exceed that number. If you have fewer than 10 photos, simple leave the rest of the slides blank.
The slides are sized to Standard Full HD (1920 x 1080) images. This is the resolution that we will be using to view your project during judging and to diplay any images from your project at the Awards Gala. It is very possible that your images are not widescreen 16:9 images but are likely formatted as 3:2 or 4:3 photographs. When you drag such photos onto the slide (or insert them using the menu : INSERT > PICTURE > FROM FILE, you should find that the image will fill the full height of the slide but leave magins on the left and right. This is acceptable. Don't attemp to stretch the image horizontally as you may distort its aspect ratio, or cut part of the top and/or bottom of the imaage from the slide.
Slide narrative. Include a slide narrative in the Presentor Notes section below each slide that you include. Each image is permitted a narrative that is no longer than 25 words in length. That's one or two sentences.
You are just about done! On the final slide, we ask for your attestation that you are submitting in good faith and that the slides and narratives truthfully represent the project.
Once you have completed your Powerpoint file, save in PowerPoint's standard "pptx" format using your project's name. Please use lowercase letters for your filename and replace any spaces with the underscore character "_". You can shorten very long project names as long as we are able to recognize the project by the files's name.
