Specifications for Entries

School districts and county offices of education may submit up to three (3) entries. Any entries beyond three will be automatically disqualified.

The district or county office must specify one program category for each entry. If CSBA determines that the selected program category may be incorrect, CSBA will contact the district or county office to assist in identifying the appropriate category.

Each entry must include an official entry form, a narrative description and three (3) high-resolution, color digital photos. An official entry form must be attached to the front of each narrative. The form may be reproduced. Each entry form must be signed by the board president, the superintendent and the curriculum director or other appropriate district/county office administrator responsible for the program area. Entries not containing these signatures will be disqualified. (Please send three additional copies of application/narrative.)

Narratives must be three (3) pages or less (one side only) on 8½” by 11” paper, printed in type no smaller than 10 point and double-spaced. Narratives over three pages and handwritten entries will be disqualified. Narratives must be written in understandable language and in clear, concise terms.

Three (3) high-resolution, color digital photos must be submitted,via e-mail, at the time you submit your entry form. The photos will be used during the awards presentation ceremony and/or in future promotion and publicity efforts. Neither entries nor photos will be returned. E-mail high-resolution digital photos to Lisa Durant at ldurant@csba.org. Very important: please include in your e-mail the name of your district or county office and the program title.
