We’ve got some important award submission deadlines fast approaching!

The Chairman’s Award and the Woodie Flowers Award must be submitted by a designated student award submitter by 3 PM Eastern Time on Thursday, February 7.

The Dean’s List Award must be submitted by an adult award submitter by 3 PM Eastern Time on Thursday, February 14.

More information about these awards can be found on our Awards Page.

Please note that the times above are Eastern Time. Wondering what time equates to 3 PM Eastern Time in your area of the world? Check out this converter.

Also, please note that late submissions are not accepted without a world-class, once-in-a-lifetime reason. (Example of a bad reason: I didn’t realize the deadline was 3 PM Eastern Time. Another bad reason: I didn’t designate my student award submitter in advance.). This is to ensure the fairness of the process. Don’t let all your work go to waste! Plan to submit early so if something doesn’t go as planned you have time to recover!

We have created some helpful tips for teams! Check them out here.
