APVA AWARDS, NOMINATION PAUSED
We are currently addressing technical issues with our website and nomination process. Our sites have been down since last week due to server problems.
Our team has been diligently working to resolve this situation with our hosting solution, BlueHost. We are yet to find the right expert to assist us with the issue, but we will keep following up with them to ensure the situation is fixed soon.
As a result, we have temporarily paused nominations until the migration is complete. Nominations have been extended to June 30th, and previous nominees may need to resubmit their entries.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding. Our commitment is to provide a smooth and secure nomination process for all participants.
Please stay tuned for further updates, and thank you for your continued support.
