If you’re applying for Round 2 of the Upskill Prize, make sure your application is submitted by Nov. 20 at 5 p.m. ET. Prize administrators highly encourage you to apply early to avoid technical difficulties or upload delays. The submission portal closes at 5 p.m. ET sharp, so make sure you hit submit well before then!
Remember to read through the official rules for full details on what to include in your submission:
- Team information: List basic information about your submission, including project title, team name and address, key project members, and a short description of the prize.
- Declaration of other funding: Declare any other funding or in-kind support for training that the organization is currently receiving, if any.
- Narrative: Follow the prompts in the official rules (not to exceed 3,000 words for new submissions and 4,000 words for returning submissions).
- Summary PowerPoint slide: Share your team name, requested prize funding amount, key personnel and summary of plan in the suggested Summary Slide Template.
- Letters of commitment or support: Include a mandatory letter of commitment from your partner; if you’re a U.S.-based manufacturer, then a letter of commitment from a training organization is required. If you’re a training organization, then a letter of commitment from a U.S.-based manufacturer is required.
If you have any questions you don’t see answers to in the official rules, the prize administrators would be happy to help you at upskill.prize@nrel.gov.
