Using the password, submitting individuals and firms will be allowed to upload images and text and adjust the display of their entries until they choose to submit them to the SBD EEIA website. Once submitted, the entry’s display and content can no longer be altered. The entry will be reviewed and checked for completeness by the SBD EEIA Team, after which it will appear on the website for viewing by the Jury and the public.
