  • All projects must be completed in 2011. However, they may have a start date prior to 2011.
  • The "Before Period" is the 12-month period prior to the Project Start and the source of your "Before" Portfolio Manager data. The "After Period" is the 12-month period after the Project End, and also requires Portfolio Manager Data.
  • Entrants should refer to the EBie Scorecard when preparing a submission to understand how the jury will be evaluating each project.
