First — what are you submitting?

Pick one. Every other question on this form depends on this answer.

Quick test: Is there a date on the calendar this is for? If yes → Event. If the deliverable would still need to exist with no date attached → Project.

Who are you?

Your name, your email, the ministry you're submitting on behalf of — and the one person who'll review proofs and approve the work.

Don't see your ministry? Pick "Other" — the PM will route correctly.
Point of Contact for this request
Receives proofs, gives feedback, and approves final assets. One person only. Consolidated feedback through a single contact protects the timeline.
Step · 3 of 6 · Event Path

Tell us about the event.

Name, level, and the three dates that matter — Event Date, Launch Date, Due Date.

Levels are entered manually until the ministry-plan system locks (October 1, 2026). The Creative PM will verify during triage.
Three dates, in order: the Due Date is when Communications delivers finished assets to you for review. The Launch Date is when promo goes public (registration opens, signage up, emails go). The Event Date is when the event itself happens. Lead time is measured from Launch Date.
Comms delivers to you by

When registration opens to the public — often the same as Launch Date, but not always.

Tell us about the project.

When do you need the deliverable in hand?
