I was the JA at an event where a team included their own version of the Innovate Award form, but it was multi-page (3+). From my reading of the Guide to Judging and the Innovate Form itself, there is nothing that prohibits basically saying "continued on back" or creating an identical version of the form where the fields are much longer (multi-page).
Questions:
- Is a multi-page form submission permissible? If so, should it be stated clearly what the page limitations are since that may be unfair to teams that believed (through implication) that the form must be single page.
- If a team just creates a separate multi-page "appendix" or section specifically for the innovate submission, and then simply refers to that in the innovate form, would that be acceptable? This seems like the "right" way to do it.
FYI, for that particular event, we were a bit reluctant to DQ the form on a "technicality", but were relieved to dodge the issue since there were unanimously agreed upon stronger candidates anyway.
