Submission Guidelines

The Team Page

Team page is your ‘go-to’ place when it comes to team activities. The Team page is accessible from your Dashboard.

1. After both of the prospective team members complete their Profiles, you can form a team on the Team page. Simply search for your teammate by their email address and send an invitation to team up. Your partner will receive your invitation and can decide whether to accept it. It's that easy!
   Please note that both you and your teammate need to fill in the required fields on the Profile page before you can form a team.
2. After forming a team, the Team page becomes a common space for both of the team members. You will be able to register your team name, upload your team submission and finalize your application from the Team page.
   Please note that both team members need to finalize their Profile pages to be able to finalize the application.

From the Team page you can also access your Public Team page, which displays your total team score for completing the quizzes. Although taking quizzes is not compulsory, we encourage you to take quizzes to gain unique insights that will help you develop your idea, as well as to compete for the Go Green Champs Award. You are also encouraged to share your Public Team page with your friends on social media and collect their recommendations, see below for more details about the Social Media Award.

You can also invite friends to take part in the challenge via Facebook or email.
