IMPORTANT: Please read information below to assist you in completing your submission.

Before you begin

Welcome to the Innovation in Social Impact Measurement application form for the 2026 SIMNA Awards.

You may begin anywhere in this application form. Please ensure you save as you go.

For queries about the guidelines, deadlines, or questions in the entry form, please contact SIMNA’s Executive Officer, Laura Glynn, at laura@simna.com.au and quote your submission number.

If you need more help using this form, check out Applicant Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's).

Filling in the form

On every screen (page of the form) you will find a Form Navigation contents box, this links directly to every page of the entry form. Click the link to jump directly to the page you want. You can also click 'next page' or 'previous page' on the top or bottom of each page to move forward or backward through the application form.

You can copy and paste content into the form, e.g. from Microsoft Word.

Saving a draft

If you wish to leave a partially completed application form, press 'Save and close' and log out. When you log back in and click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of any application forms you have started or submitted. You can reopen your draft form and start where you left off.

You can also download any application form, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the 'Download PDF' button located at the bottom of the last page of the form.

Submitting your form

You will find a Review and Submit button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You need to review your application form before you can submit it. You will not be able to submit your form until all the mandatory questions are completed and there are no validation errors. Once you have reviewed your application you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top or bottom of the screen or on the navigation panel. 

Once you have submitted your form, you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your submission attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register. Once you have submitted the form, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.

If you do not receive a confirmation of submission email then you should presume that your entry form has not been submitted. Also check the email hasn’t landed in your spam or junk email folder.

Supporting documents

You may upload/submit an attachment to support your application. You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.

Completing in a group/team

Several people can work on a single application form if you set up a SmartyFile profile for your organisation. It's best to check only one person is working at a time to avoid overwriting any changes. Ensure you save as you go.

Session time-out warning

For security reasons, your login session will expire after 20 minutes of inactivity. Saving your form or navigating to another page resets the timer.

You’ll be prompted 90 seconds before your session expires, with the option to extend your session or log out. If you don’t respond to the prompt in time, your form will be automatically saved before your session ends.

Even so, we recommend saving your form regularly – especially when working on longer responses – to avoid losing any work.
