When advisors create an account, they have access the Advisor Dashboard which provides the Advisor access to resources as well as student activity. The Advisor is able to see their students’ work and the status of their projects. Advisors are able to view their students’ specific entries and marketing designs. Communications from competition organizers will be via email using the address used to create the Advisor account.
Create an advisor login (email and password) by choosing Advisor Login on top of the BIG Idea Competition home page. From there, choose your school from the drop down list. (If your school is not listed, contact kelly@growsd.org to request that it be added.) Once your account is created, your name and school will be listed and available for students to select when completing their entries. Advisors will not be able to change school affiliation once a student has chosen them as an advisor. Once advisors log in to the site, they will have access to the Advisor Dashboard.
Students are not required to have an advisor. For those students without an advisor, they should choose Independent Study in the Advisor field when students create their profile.
