Formatting Guide for Submissions & Stories

Segment your submission into sections

sectioning

To improve reading experience, please segment your submission (or story) into sections. You can use up to 10 sections, depending on how long your submission is.

Each section allows you to add a sub-heading and image, in addition to sub write-up areas. This also means you can prepare your submission as a list with illustrations.

Note: There is no need to segment your submission if it is short.

Embedding media

The submission form supports auto embeds of content from these sites: YouTube, Vimeo, SlideShare and Flickr. Simply copy-and-paste the link of the content (video, slideshow or photo) into any of the write-up areas as is; do not paste the link via the hyperlink tool.

Saving your submission
