We are just 1 month away from the Stage 1 Submission Deadline for GoAERO!

This message is to remind you to complete and finalize your submission before the deadline on December 11, 2024 at 5:00pm Eastern Time (New York/USA). The HeroX platform is automated so your submission must be finalized before that date and time for it to be considered for judging. 

NO materials submitted outside of the platform will be accepted and NO late submissions will be accepted. 

There are a number of documents to upload and required fields in the submission. DO NOT wait until the last minute to begin uploading/completing your submission form. You can SAVE your submission as a DRAFT along they way. You can continue to EDIT your submission, even if you have submitted, until the Stage 1 Submission Deadline. 

To prepare your digital submission offline prior to uploading, a PDF version of the Stage 1 Submission Form and Judging Criteria can be found here

The submission fee for individuals is $250 and $500 for teams. Make sure to have your payment information on hand when submitting and plan your submission time accordingly. You will receive a confirmation email when your submission is accepted. If you do not receive a confirmation, check your junk email, or try again.
