 Summit Awards On-line Entry System & Merchandise Store

The newer versions of Internet Explorer are wreaking havoc with many of today's secure servers including ours. IE8 is causing people's order to freeze after they enter their credit card information. Because it is so buggy and causing our entrants so many headaches we are strongly encouraging the use of FireFox or Safari or an older version of IE.
