Award Force offers a variety of field types to help you collect exactly the information you need from entrants. For many of these field types, additional configuration options and parameters can be applied, such as file size limits or minimum/maximum words!
Checkbox

Checkbox list
A list of checkboxes, where more than one option can be selected. In the Options field, list each checkbox option on a separate line in the order they are to appear. A checkbox list is also sometimes referred to as multi-select.
