The application process for the 2021 Awards relies on a combination of structured questions and open-ended text, both of which will be provided to the jury. This combination ensures consistency among the information collected about each campaign. After jury review, the data will be stored in a completely anonymized database on secure ARF servers and utilized in the ARF database.
