  • Is it a requirement to use the template for our submission?

    Yes. We require the use of the template for presentation to the judges and to use on our website to showcase your submission.

No exceptions. Additionally, the PowerPoint file should be less than 50MB in file size. We advise that you size your images at no less than 400px W (length can be variable to image) at 72dpi resolution.

    We ask that you do not include video files in your PowerPoint submission. (Embedding video files will result in a PowerPoint file that exceeds the 50MB size limit and prevent upload to the Aspect Awards website.)
