The three entries scoring the highest points according to the guideline categories “relevance”, “originality”, “integration” “feasibility”, and “effectiveness”, will win prizes to be determined and announced on promotional materials. The organisers reserve the right to change the advertised prizes to others of similar value, without notice. All entries must be an independent creation by the entrant and free of any claims that they infringe any third-party rights. Entries must not have been published previously and/or have been used to win prizes in any other competitions.
