Some regions allow for educators/schools to pay by check on behalf of their students, in addition to card. Visit your Region Page to see what payment options are available to you. If your region allows for educators/schools to pay by check, you will also see an “Invoice” section in the navigation bar on the left side of your Portal account.
Invoices can be generated two ways:
1) You, the educator, generate an invoice addressed to your school for the works on which you are the credited educator. Under Manage>Invoice, select “Unpaid by School” to begin an invoice.
Under “Bill-To”, put the contact information for whoever at your school will be responsible for payment—this can be you, your department head, your principal, etc. They will receive an email with the invoice attached. For due date, reference instructions on your Region Page.
2) Your Regional Coordinator may generate an invoice addressed to your school for all eligible works from your school. This is done at your Regional Coordinator’s discretion and as their capacity allows. If you and your school wish to pursue this option, contact your Coordinator directly via your Region Page.
Once an invoice has been generated, any completed works on that invoice will be considered “Ready for Judging.” This will allow judging to proceed while payment is being processed.
Be sure to follow any and all instructions about sending in payment from your Regional Affiliate.
