The submission process is straightforward for those companies that wish to enter a technology.
An application packet, containing detailed information about the technology as well as testimonials from users of the technology, is required for each entered technology.

An independent and anonymous award selection committee comprised of industry technical experts and users determines the recipients.
It is not necessary to be a PIA/GATF member to enter a technology.
