Using the Google Drive folder linked here, exhibitors can turn in their submissions. The exhibits can be dropped in using a variety of media formats but must be readily available to be accessed by the general public.

It is important that when sharing videos, links, or documents, that they are viewable by the public. Make sure that all sharing permissions are set correctly. If the submission can not be opened, it will not be judged.
