Q1. Are submissions from individuals and teams based in ALT member 
organisations limited to one per institution or could there be more 
than one?

A1. There is no limit to the number of individuals who apply for the 
award from a single ALT member organisation. No more than one team 
application per member organisation will be accepted. In case of 
difficulty, check with ALT via lt2008@alt.ac.uk.

Q2. I am at XYZ University and my co-worker is at ABC University. 
Are we eligible to apply?

A2. If both of you are individual members of ALT, or if both your 
Universities are organisational members of ALT on the date we 
receive your application, then yes. There is a current list of 
sponsoring and organisational members of ALT at 
http://www.alt.ac.uk/corporate_members.php . 
Details of how to join ALT are at

Q3. For a team application, how should we decide what aspects of the
team's work to pitch for?

A3. It will be important to:

i) define the team carefully and individuals' roles within it;

ii) concentrate your application on the work of that defined team, 
focusing with care in Sections 6A to 6D of the application form and on 
the 4 criteria against which the award will be judged.

Q4. What if we want to incorporate details of "products" we have 
produced?

A4. You are restricted to 200 words in Section 5 of the application 
form, and 400 word in each of Sections 6A to 6D of the application 
form. If you decide to incorporate "products", or other assets in 
your application, you will have to do this by means of URLs in 
Sections 6A to 6D. [A URL, and any associated login code, will count 
as one word.] We advise you to be sparing and considered in any use 
you make of URLs, noting that extensive use of URLs is likely to be 
confusing and possibly off-putting for the judges, and to distract 
them from the core of your application, which is the words you use 
on the form itself.

Q5. Can we include tables within our application?

A5. Yes, in Sections 6A to 6D, provided you do not exceed the word-
limit.
