What if I’m having tech issues and can’t get on?

For the best experience on our platform, use a laptop or desktop and the Chrome browser. (Mobile phones don’t provide access to all features.)

It is a good idea to clear your computer's cache and then log in early in order to check your connections. Be sure your computer's camera and microphone are enabled.

If you are still experiencing issues, even with these in place, please try these options to troubleshoot the issue.

  1. Be sure you have authorized access to your camera and mic.
  2. Refresh your browser.
  3. Close and reopen your browser.
  4. Restart your computer.
  5. Do a system check. Here's a link to check internet signal, browser compatibility, operating system, camera, and microphone: bit.ly/virtualsystemcheck
  6. Make sure you are using the desktop Chrome browser.
  7. Try using a different desktop/laptop.
  8. Visit the red “Need Help” icon at the lower left of the screen.

What if I can't be on the platform live to accept my award?

We will reach out to any winners who can’t be on the platform during the Awards Ceremony and mail your award, along with links to your digital prizes.

Will people see me give my acceptance speech?

Yes, if you are on the platform, we will bring you to stage virtually (be camera ready) to give a one (1) minute acceptance speech. (You must be signed into the platform and have your camera on.)
