Creating a New Submission

For simplicity’s sake, we recommend creating one profile account for your publication.

Returning Entrants: You can use the same login information you used last year. If you do not remember your password you may go to the login page and click “Forgot My Password” to reset and make a new one.
New Entrants: Click “Enter the Catholic Media Awards” on the homepage and follow prompts to create a username and password for your account.
New Format: You will now select your membership type at the beginning of the submission form. After you select a membership type, you will see a box labeled “Publisher Name.” This is where you will select your organization's name from a list. The address will auto-populate.
Video/PDF: instructions may be viewed by clicking this link or a PDF file by clicking this link.

Once logged in to your Profile account, click “Make Another Application” then “Enter Catholic Press Awards.” You will be prompted to review your past submissions or to begin a new submission.
1. Use the link here to submit your application process.
If you have any unfinished submissions from prior years, we suggest deleting them because they will not upload in the current contest.
Select, “Click Here to Begin a New Submission.” Fill out the form as prompted and click “Save and Next” to continue. You can return to the previous form at any time.
1. All entries are marked “Incomplete” until paid.
Options after making submissions:
1. Save your work: Click “Save” to save your work and leave the form. You can return and edit it at any time, until you pay for it, by clicking on “My Applications” and clicking “Edit”.
2. Prepare to Pay: Click “Add To Cart” to move your saved submission to your cart.
  1. You can return and edit by clicking “Make Changes” prior to paying.
  2. You can also remove it from your cart.
  3. Click “Checkout” to pay.
Paid entries are marked “Complete” and cannot be edited. We suggest you proof all submissions for duplicates, accuracy and attachments prior to paying.
To save time, you may duplicate your submission form. Once the entry is duplicated it copies all information. Then you only need to select a new category and make sure all files needed are appropriately updated.
