You can assemble your projects from your computer directly to NARI's online entry system when it’s convenient for you.
NARI announced that several chapters have also moved to the online platform. This will allow entrants to enter the local chapter program, and then easily transfer entries to the national program in just a few steps, right on the same platform. Check with your NARI chapter for more details.
