Award Participation General Criteria

 

  • Responses should be substantiated with evidence and proof, either by incorporating them within the response or by attaching them as supplementary documents or providing a specific link.
  • When responding to any question using "Yes," "No," "Not Applicable," or similar terms, a score of zero will be assigned to the question. In cases where such responses are necessary, a thorough justification and explanation must be provided.
  • Each project is entitled to submit supporting materials and evidence, limited to a maximum of three attachments and/or three links, excluding the project or service website. These will be taken into consideration only if referenced in the response text, accompanied by reasons for their inclusion and specifying the location of pertinent project information.
