    ACCOUNTS

    NAVGTR Corp. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  For assistance, please contact Tom Allen at 301.437.7880 or email *info at navgtr dot org*.

    Look for account options at the top of the page.

    INVOICES

    Upon entry, you will receive an automated email sales receipt AND invoice PDF document for your convenience. For companies that do not accept invoices without a PO number, the receipt can be submitted to your finance department as part of an internal purchase order request to generate a purchase order number.  This number can be applied to the entry from your account login.  Once applied, you will be able to download the final invoice which will reflect the PO number.

    Any disqualifications found later can be offset by choosing a refund or a different creative/technical category.

    When submitting an official entry, providing a gmail, yahoo, or similar email is not recommended to ensure your entry is officially accepted. Admin makes the final decision on all genre, franchise, and regional classifications; if a game’s title or content refers to any pre-existing related or unrelated franchise, character, or story, the presumption is that the game is a franchise.
