NAVIGATING (MOVING THROUGH) THE NOMINATION FORM
On every screen (page of the form) you will find a Form Navigation contents box, this links directly to every page of the nomination. Click the link to jump directly to the page you want.
You can also click 'next page' or 'previous page' on the top or bottom of each page to move forward or backward through the nomination.
SAVING YOUR DRAFT NOMINATION
If you wish to leave a partially completed nomination press 'save' and log out. When you log back in and click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of any nominations you have started or submitted. You can reopen your draft nomination and start where you left off.
You can also download any nomination, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the 'Download' button located at the bottom of the last page of the nomination form.
SUBMITTING YOUR NOMINATION
You will find a Review and Submit button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You need to review your nomination before you can submit it.
Once you have reviewed your nomination you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top of the screen or on the navigation panel. You will not be able to submit your nomination until all the compulsory questions are completed.
Once you have submitted your nomination, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.
When you submit your nomination, you will receive an automated confirmation email with a copy of your submitted nomination attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register.
If you do not receive a confirmation of submission email then you should presume that your nomination has NOT been submitted.
ATTACHMENTS AND SUPPORT DOCUMENTS
You may need to upload/submit attachments to support your nomination. This is very simple, but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a storage device.
You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.
COMPLETING AN NOMINATION IN A GROUP/TEAM
A number of people can work on a nomination using the same log in details as long as only one person is working at a time. Ensure you save as you go.
SPELL CHECK
Most internet browsers (including Firefox v2.0 and above; Safari; and Google Chrome) have spell checking facilities built in – you can switch this function on or off by adjusting your browser settings.
Banyule City Council is proud to acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as traditional custodians of the land and we pay respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Elders, past, present and emerging, who have resided in the area and have been an integral part of the regions history.
