~ Make sure only one form is being submitted per publication per school.
~ Make sure the number of entries being submitted matches the number specified on the form.
~ Make sure a link to a folder is being submitted, instead of a link to a single PDF or URL.
~ Make sure that each entry is submitted as a single PDF or URL.
When Providing The Link:
~ Make sure you are giving ncsmacontests@gmail.com rights to organize, add and edit your folder.
~ Make sure you own all the files. Schools that use Google Suite for Education may have restrictions preventing their folders from being accessed by NCSMA. If that is the case and permission for NCSMA to access the folder cannot be granted, please notify us as soon as possible for alternative options.
