Step 2:

Visit the Entry Page

Visit this national AAF Fort Wayne Entry portal (Students or Professionals). It may ask you to create an account or sign in. Select between a Professional Entry and a Student Entry to begin. Make sure you are entering in the Fort Wayne Club (06-ftw).

Step 3:

Fill out the entry form

Follow all instructions and complete the required fields on the entry form and pay for your entry. Please be sure there are no typos in these fields because this is the information that would be printed on your award if you were to win. Also, be sure to credit all persons responsible for the work.

Note: If you are a corporate member receiving a covered entry, this will not appear in check out and will be handled after entry submission.
