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 or bottom of the screen or on the navigation panel. You will not be able to submit your nomination until all the compulsory questions are completed and there are no validation errors.

Once you have submitted your nomination, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.

When you submit your nomination, you will receive a 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 submission has NOT been submitted.

Hint: also check the email hasn't landed in your spam or junk email folder.
