NARI NATIONAL Roty entry instructions

Yes, you must submit your projects separately to NARI Tampa Bay and to NARI National. Fortunately, the rules and presentation formats are the same, so once you have submitted everything to NARI Tampa Bay, it is easy to submit everything to NARI National. You can access the online portal by logging into your NARI account at www.nari.org. To be clear, submitting a project on this website only submits your project for consideration in NARI Tampa Bay’s RotY Awards. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Executive Director, Chandra Tracy at info@naritb.org.

Why submit projects to both NARI Tampa Bay and NARI National?

Projects submitted to NARI National are automatically eligible for regional RotY awards, and if they win won of those, then National awards. The National RotY Awards are presented annually at NARI’s National Convention.
