Save by entering early. For entries received before March 2, the basic fee is $15 for single entries and $25 for campaign or series entries. You must pay an additional $5 for an entry to be considered for the MIKE Award. Fees for entries received after March 2 until March 15 will increase by $10, as follows: basic entry, $25; campaign or series, $35; and MIKE Award, $15.

Join the Communicators Forum for the annual membership fee of $40, and your first entry submission is FREE.

Just check the new member box on the entry form, and the $40 membership fee will be added to your total due.

Entry forms

Choose your words well! Your description is read by the judges to evaluate the objectives, cost, and outcomes of your entry. If you receive an award, your words will be used in the awards presentation video and exhibit to describe the success of your project.

Download an Entry Form

Select a Maroon & Gold Awards entry format:

Download the PDF entry form.

Download the entry form in Word format.

The entry form is available in either PDF or Microsoft Word formats at the links to the right. The information requested is exactly the same in both formats.

•  Use Adobe Acrobat software, if possible, to complete the PDF version of the entry form so you are be able to save an electronic file for your personal records, as well as print a copy to submit with your entry.

•  If you use Adobe Reader software, you will be able to complete and print the information you enter, but your information will be lost as soon as you close the file. You will need to complete and print the form in one sitting. You will not be able to save an electronic version of the entry form. In that case, you may want to prepare your essay information in a word processing file prior to adding it into the PDF entry fields.

•  You may choose instead to complete the Microsoft Word version of the entry form. Keep in mind that concise, well-written descriptions will help the judges make timely, fair decisions.
