2022 Awards Competition Application Process

Several changes have been made to the 2022 Awards Process. Please carefully read the instructions below and within each award submission form. With the exception of the McCausland Cup, all collegiate and alumnae awards will be by video submission rather than a written submission. Within each award category listed below, there are 3-5 question prompts for chapters to address in their video submissions. Read the General Instruction section below for more details.

In most cases, Letters of Recommendation for advisers will NOT be required this year. There are a few exceptions to this (i.e. Collegiate Chapter Excellence, and some individual awards such as the Perry and Roller Awards), so please read the application form closely.

Eligibility requirements are as follows:

• The chapter may not be 30 days or more past due on any fees owed to the Fraternity or the chapter’s Corporation.
• Meet the award submission deadline of March 1, 2022 at 11:59 PM CT

General Instructions

• All collegiate and alumnae chapter award category applications are now a video submission process. There are no written submissions except filling out the application form accessible below. Only this form and your video link are required.
• All individual award category applications (ie., Perry, Roller, Rose, etc.) remain a written submission process accessible through the links below.
• Videos may NOT be sourced out to professionals and must be recorded through Zoom or a similar platform.
• Most videos should be no longer than 7 minutes per award and cover the requested question prompts. (A couple categories do allow for a longer video. Read EACH application closely for the submission requirements.) Prompts marked with an asterisk (*) are required.
• Video cloud recordings should not be deleted until after 5/15/2022.
• Presenters are allowed to screen share and/or show a slide presentation. We encourage the use of the AOII brand.
• Video examples have been prepared by our ELCs and are provided below.
• Be sure to test your link by sending it to someone else prior to submitting the application.
• Wording in the prompt questions references the current officer structure. We understand that chapters may need to reference past officer positions in their videos.

Example Videos

• Collegiate Excellence in Communications and PR
• Collegiate Excellence in Membership Recruitment

Video Linking Instructions

Video submissions should be shared as a Zoom Cloud Recording (or similar platform), Dropbox, or a Google Drive link. Make sure that your video recording is not deleted until after 5/15/2022.

• For Zoom (or similar platform)- please ensure that the recording is set to be shared publicly, that there is no expiration date, and that the password protection is turned off of cloud recording sharing. If judges cannot access the video due to password protection, it will be disqualified.
• For Google Drive – upload the video file to Google Drive and use the “get link” feature, ensuring that anyone on the internet with this link can view.
• For Dropbox – upload the video file to Dropbox and use the “copy link” share feature.
