Find an Opportunity
Once you have an account, you can search through the list of project opportunities to submit to.
Navigate to the Discover Opportunities page. You can see a list of available opportunities, ordered by how soon the deadline will expire.
1. Opportunity search bar

Save an Opportunity
If you want to save an Opportunity for later, Click the Save button next to the opportunity.
You can also apply a Label to categorize your saved opportunities. For example, you can create separate labels for Poetry or Essay competitions.
Follow an Organization
Click the flag icon next to the organization name to follow all opportunities created by that organization.
Submit an application
By clicking an opportunity, a new window will open that has all of the details of the project.
When you are ready to begin your application, click Submit in the upper right of the screen.
Filling out the application
Each project you submit to will have a different set of questions. Any questions marked with an asterisk ( * ) are required, and you will not be able to finish your submission without answering them.
Save an application
If you want to save your application so you can complete it later, click the Save Draft button at the bottom of the application. You can access the saved draft from the control panel at the top of the screen.
Verify your email address
Once you have signed up for a project, you will receive an email requesting verification. This step keeps communications secure and prevents fraudulent submissions. If your email is not verified, you will not be able to submit to the project.
Note: Not all projects require email verification. If you do not see a message from the Project requesting email verification, you have either already verified your email or the project does not require it.
