# Fields

> Field types and data types for the Award Force API.

Fields form an integral part of your entry form. They collect information about entries, users, attachments, contributors, and referees.

Award Force provides a wide range of field types you can use to collect exactly the information you need from entrants. Many field types include additional configuration options, such as file size limits or minimum and maximum word counts.

<Info>
