2. SayPro Required Document: Letter of Group Composition (Group Entries Only)

For applicants entering as a team, SayPro requires a formal Letter of Group Composition.

🧾 What the Letter Should Include:

• Group name or identifier (if applicable)
• A clear list of all group members’ full names
• Contact details for each group member (email address and phone number)
• Identification of the Group Leader or Primary Contact responsible for communication with SayPro

✍️ Signature and Confirmation:

• All group members must sign the letter (digital or handwritten signatures are accepted)
• The letter must include the date of submission
• Typed on a formal document and submitted in PDF format
• File name example: SayPro_GroupComposition_TeamInnovate.pdf

💡 Optional (But Recommended):
