Why use a submission form

A shared inbox is not a project intake system.

Email scatters files and context. A project submission form keeps each project and its evidence together.

Complete entries at the deadline

Required questions capture the title, summary, track, links, and files. Helper text explains formats and access settings.

Comparable answers for reviewers

Consistent, rubric-aligned prompts help reviewers compare each project's problem, approach, outcome, and evidence.

Routing data built into intake

Structured section, track, cohort, or category choices support sorting and reviewer notifications.

Built for different programs

Start with the submission workflow you actually run.

Different projects need different evidence. Generate a close structure, then edit its labels and requirements.

Course projects

Collect the student, section, team, reflection, report, presentation, repository, and demo.

Hackathon entries

Route by track and collect the pitch, technology, source, demo, screenshots, and setup notes.

Cohort and grant programs

Gather activities, outcomes, budget context, evidence, lessons, next steps, and sharing choices.

Showcases and exhibitions

Gather descriptions, media, footprint, power, internet, accessibility, setup, and presentation times.

Field guide

What a project submission form should include.

Six field groups cover identification, context, evidence, review, and sharing.

Submitter and team

Identify every person behind the project.

Capture the primary contact and complete team consistently. Add course, section, cohort, or organization when relevant.

  • Primary contact and email.
  • Team members and roles.
  • Section, cohort, organization, or mentor.

Project identity

Give each entry a clear label.

A concise title, category, pitch, and abstract help reviewers scan and route entries.

  • Title and one-sentence pitch.
  • Track, category, subject, or challenge.
  • Plain-language abstract with a length target.

Project narrative

Ask questions that match the rubric.

Separate prompts for the problem, audience, approach, outcome, and lessons make answers easier to compare.

  • Problem and intended users.
  • Approach, methods, tools, or decisions.
  • Results, limitations, and next steps.

Links and files

Make the work openable on review day.

Use separate URL and upload fields, with clear naming, format, access, and setup instructions.

  • Demo, repository, video, or project URLs.
  • Report, deck, image, dataset, or archive uploads.
  • Setup and access notes.

Readiness checks

Catch preventable review blockers.

Ask participants to verify contributors, link permissions, final files, and your defined eligibility conditions.

  • Contributors and contacts are correct.
  • Reviewers can open the links.
  • Required final files are attached.

Permissions and logistics

Separate participation from sharing choices.

Offer clear sharing choices for text, names, images, and video. Add venue and accessibility questions for exhibits.

  • Separate text, name, image, and video choices.
  • Attribution preference and contact.
  • Space, power, sound, accessibility, and setup.

FAQ

Project submission form questions

Practical answers for teachers, hackathon organizers, showcase teams, and program managers.

What is a project submission form?

It collects a participant or team's project information and evidence in one response: identity, title, category, narrative, URLs, files, confirmations, and permissions.

What fields should I include in a project submission form?

Include the submitter, team, title, category, pitch, and abstract. Add rubric-aligned questions about the problem, audience, approach, outcome, and lessons. Request necessary links or files, then add access and completeness checks.

Can participants upload project files and add links?

Yes. Add uploads for reports, decks, images, or archives and URL fields for repositories, demos, portfolios, or videos. Label them separately and explain formats, naming, permissions, and setup needs.

How do I adapt the form for a hackathon?

Collect the team, track, pitch, problem, solution, technologies, repository, demo, video, screenshots, and setup notes. Add confirmations based on your event rules, plus track routing and conditional questions where needed.

How can I make class project submissions easier to grade?

Mirror the rubric with separate prompts for the problem, methods, evidence, reflection, and contribution. Collect section and team as structured data, then attach the report or presentation to the same response.

Can the form collect permission to showcase a project?

Yes. Explain the planned showcase and offer separate choices for project text, creator names, screenshots, photos, and video. Review your program's wording and process before publishing.

Is this project submission form generator free?

Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free forms and responses for generating, editing, publishing, and collecting submissions. The paid option only removes the Makeform badge.

Where do project submissions go after someone submits?

Responses reach the Makeform inbox with answers and uploads connected. You can send data to Google Sheets, notify Slack, or connect review steps through Zapier. Test the route before launch.
