Where to get values

Various fields need id values such as CategoryId, CustomQuestion Ids, CategoryAwardId, and SpecialAwardIds. You can get these values from our API. Check out API Get Info

Additional Optional fields of Participants

A participant record is very similar to a teacher record see API Add Person for optional fields of participants.

You can also add FixedProjectId, this allows you to upload the project Id you want to be used for your uploaded project.
