For the "Honors" Section of the Common App, are we only to put in academic ones?

<p>I won, as part of a team, an "Innovation award" from an NGO, where we had to design a project, for which we later got funded.</p>

<p>Am I allowed to mention it there? Or is that section just for academic awards?</p>

<p>No, that would count. It’s mostly for that sort of thing, actually.</p>

<p>Is it ok if I mention that thing in the awards won part of the ECA Listing page? Because that was something I won as part of a team which is a long term project anyways? Would that diminish the “awesomeness” of the award?</p>

<p>Instead of that, I was wondering I could mention my runner’s up spot in a a science Olympiad. I can’t mention both in the awards part as i already have 4 mentioned. :(</p>
