You may wish to indicate patent status in the check-off box provided on the Entry Form.</p></div></div></div> <div itemscope="" itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h5 itemprop="name" id="q1a">I am not ready to disclose my idea on the public web site. Can I still enter the contest?</h5> <div itemscope="" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"> <div itemprop="text"> <p>Yes. On the Entry Form, you can elect not to publish your entry on the web site. You will still be eligible for the grand prize and category prizes, but this will prevent you from competing for popular vote prizes since that is based on public voting. The contest sponsors are not responsible for the protection of intellectual property contained in any of the entries, but will take all necessary precautions to ensure the confidentiality of non-published entries, which will only be viewed by the judges and contest administrators. If your entry is chosen as one of the winners, it will be publicly disclosed when the winners are announced.</p></div></div></div> <div itemscope="" itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h5 itemprop="name" id="q2">Do I lose control over my idea once I enter it in the contest?</h5> <div itemscope="" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"> <div itemprop="text"> <p>No. Per the Rules, the entrant retains ownership of the idea. The contest sponsors are only interested in helping to promote and reward innovative design ideas. There is absolutely NO transfer of intellectual property. </p></div></div></div> <div itemscope="" itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h5 itemprop="name" id="q3">Can I enter the contest if I reside outside the United States?</h5> <div itemscope="" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"> <div itemprop="text"> <p>Yes. However, eligibility to win prizes is restricted to countries (and states) which do not outlaw a contest with the prize value offered by this contest.</p></div></div></div> <div itemscope="" itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h5 itemprop="name" id="q4">Can I enter the contest with a description shorter than 500 words?</h5> <div itemscope="" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"> <div itemprop="text"> <p>Yes. However, the more complete your entry description, the better your chances of winning. Your visual materials will also improve your chances of winning. Your entry description should cover how the invention works, what makes it novel, how it would be produced, and where it would be applied. If the description is too short and does not cover these points, it will be disqualified.</p></div></div></div> <div itemscope="" itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h5 itemprop="name" id="q5">How do you count words? My word count doesn't look as expected.</h5> <div itemscope="" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"> <div itemprop="text"> <p>The word counter checks for spaces between words. You should paste your text from a plain text format (such as Notepad) to reduce the risk of invisible characters that inflate the word count. Because of issues with text from other document formats, we allow a small buffer of 515 words before we reject more text in the text input form.</p></div></div></div> <div itemscope="" itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h5 itemprop="name" id="q6">Are entry ideas developed by a team or group eligible to compete?</h5> <div itemscope="" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"> <div itemprop="text"> <p>Yes. The entry should be submitted by the team or group leader whom you designate, and this person should be listed in the “Entrant Name” field. Where prompted on the Entry Form, list all other members of the team.</p></div></div></div> <div itemscope="" itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h5 itemprop="name" id="q7">Can I enter the contest without providing image(s) to illustrate my entry?</h5> <div itemscope="" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"> <div itemprop="text"> <p>No. At least one image is required to accompany the text. This could be a drawing, diagram, photo, or any other visual aid to help the judges. The illustration(s) must complement the descriptive text. A generic photo or photo of the entrant will be rejected. Entries without any associated images will be disqualified. The image(s) must be uploaded and submitted electronically with the Entry Form. You must have ownership of or authorization to use the images you submit. Stock photos may not be used without first obtaining the rights to do so.</p></div></div></div> <div itemscope="" itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h5 itemprop="name" id="q8">I would like to submit more than one image. Can I do that?</h5> <div itemscope="" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"> <div itemprop="text"> <p>Yes. You can upload up to three separate images when submitting your entry.</p></div></div></div> <div itemscope="" itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h5 itemprop="name" id="q9">Can I mail supplemental materials to support my entry?</h5> <div itemscope="" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"> <div itemprop="text"> <p>No. We cannot accept any materials by mail or e-mail. We can only accept the text, illustration(s), and (optional) video when you complete your Entry Form online.</p></div></div></div> <div itemscope="" itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h5 itemprop="name" id="q10">How many ideas or designs can I submit?</h5> <div itemscope="" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"> <div itemprop="text"> <p>There is no limit to the number of entries you can submit, but each entry must be a substantially different design idea. Identical or very similar ideas in multiple categories from the same entrant or entry team will be disqualified.</p></div></div></div> <div itemscope="" itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h5 itemprop="name" id="q12">Is it possible to include photos of a prototype model in my contest submission?</h5> <div itemscope="" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"> <div itemprop="text"> <p>Yes. Any type of image, including photos of prototypes, can be submitted, provided they are in one of the valid image formats indicated on the Entry Form.</p></div></div></div> <div itemscope="" itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h5 itemprop="name" id="q13">Are any prototypes required?</h5> <div itemscope="" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"> <div itemprop="text"> <p>No. Prototypes are not required. If you do have a prototype, you should indicate this on the entry form where asked.</p></div></div></div> <div itemscope="" itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h5 itemprop="name" id="q14">Can I submit a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file? </h5> <div itemscope="" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"> <div itemprop="text"> <p>No. Only entries with valid illustration formats will be accepted via the web site. Accepted formats include PDF, GIF, JPEG, and PNG.</p></div></div></div> <div itemscope="" itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h5 itemprop="name" id="q15">May I submit a design idea that I submitted in a previous Create the Future contest?</h5> <div itemscope="" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"> <div itemprop="text"> <p>Previous entries may be resubmitted if there is an update or significant change to the design, or if new applications have been identified.</p></div></div></div> <div itemscope="" itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <h5 itemprop="name" id="q16">I registered for a previous contest. Do I need to register again this year?</h5> <div itemscope="" itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"> <div itemprop="text"> <p>No, if you have entered the contest in 2010 or later you do not need to re-register.
