Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions:

  • Up to 3 students may submit a single entry as a team. It is recommended that each team (or individual if competing alone) enlist the services of a mentor. Mentors may be from academic institutions, not-for-profit organisations, or private companies.
  • You may have assistance with your project from additional students beyond the 3 who are your official team. Such assistance is typically in the area of specific disciplines such as graphic design or business plan development. Any such additional students are not considered members of your team for purposes of these rules and they will not be eligible for any prizes, they will not be included in the World Finals award ceremony, nor will they be recognised in official communications such as press releases. Only the 3 team members you officially register with us are eligible for prizes, award ceremony inclusion, and official communications.
  • Team members may come from different academic institutions and from different countries.
  • Each team is allowed only one mentor.
  • Each competitor may belong to only one team within the competition. Once registered, anyone of the team members can create a new team and invite the remaining team members to join. The remaining team members must accept the invitations by 31 May 2017 to be recognised as qualified members of the team.
  • As part of the registration process, each team must choose a country/region which it will represent. At least one member of the team must be a legal resident of the country the team is representing.
  • If your Team is invited to participate in the World Finals, we will provide travel and accommodations for each registered member, and your Team must send at least one member to compete at the World Finals. If your Team is unable to send at least one member for any reason, then we may disqualify your entire Team and invite the next highest scoring Team to participate.
  • Each Team is solely responsible for its own cooperation and teamwork. In no event will Sponsor officiate in any dispute regarding the conduct or cooperation of any Team or its
  • members.
  • The intent and spirit of the Competition are to test the skills and creativity of the student entrants.
  • Anyone acting as a team Mentor, or in any mentorship role, where allowed (for example, local, regional, or global sponsors), must limit the level of support provided to student entrants to general guidance and must not contribute in any way that may be considered original authorship, or in a way that may enable claims of rights or ownership to the submitted entries.

All World Finalist teams win an all-expenses paid trip to the World Finals, where they will compete with the best and brightest teams from across the globe for the title of World Champion, $100,000 cash prize and the chance to take home the Imagine Cup!
