Anonymity

While contact information for entrant teams or individuals must be provided, submissions themselves must be entirely anonymous for the purpose of adjudication. Submissions containing distinctive graphics, logos, or other identifying content will be disallowed.

All personal information will be kept in confidence and will not be made available to the jury or members of the public until the adjudication process is complete. No participant’s name, firm’s names or other means of identification is permitted to be included on the submission panels.

A third party website provider will be handling the submissions and will be packaging them anonymously for adjudication. Submissions will be given a unique identification number that will link the material to the participant’s names. Once adjudication is complete, the names of the winners will be identified through their submission number by the professional advisor.
