• Does your Entry Form reflect your credit union's asset size as of 12/31/07?
• Are all your entry materials in either a three-ring binder or a spiral-bound notebook?
• Does your Entry Form indicate whether your entry is to be evaluated on:

1. Criteria 1 through 4?
2. Criteria 1 through 5? (see NOTE on Criterion #5 on the Entry Form)

• Does your Entry Form include a statement of commitment of no more than 300 words?
• Does your entry include evidence of the activities described, such as newspaper articles, ads, flyers, brochures, descriptions, photos, timetable, budget, and results? (Choose the best evidence, not the most)
• Is your entry concise and readable? (Remember, more isn't always better!)
