How to Enter AMA Competitions in AwardForce

IMPORTANT: When prompted, select the opt-in checkbox to receive regular status updates about your entries.
Note: Submitting your entry does not guarantee competition eligibility. Eligibility is subject to specific competition rules and criteria.
Why You Shouldn’t Sign Up on Behalf of Someone Else
- Missed Communications: The competitor won’t receive crucial updates, including their acceptance to compete, their time slot, and instructions for next steps.
- Tracking and Updates: It makes it difficult for the AMA to locate your entry if you need an update or wish to make changes. This can result in delays and complications that might affect your participation.
- First-Come, First-Serve: We operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. If one person enters for a group, all members are essentially entered at the same time, which can disadvantage individuals in securing their preferred time slots.
- Accuracy for Sponsors: Competition details sent to sponsors will be inaccurate, potentially impacting your chances of being recruited by our influential sponsors.
