FAQ
Q. I had a terrific tactic that was part of a broader campaign. Can I separately submit both the tactic and the campaign for project awards?
A. No, an individual tactic cannot be pulled out of a campaign for awards entry purposes. Tactics submitted for project awards should be standalone tactics, and not part of a broader campaign.
Q. I’ve been working on a project and most of the work was done last year, but I haven’t yet evaluated project success. Should I submit this to the WisCOMsin Awards now, or wait until next year?
A. WisCOMsin project award entries are judged on how well a project is researched, planned, implemented, and evaluated. Because award entries are judged on this full 4-step process, we suggest waiting until the project is fully done (including evaluation) before submitting it. This provides the opportunity for each award entry to receive the maximum number of points.
