To enter and participate in the Challenge, you must fully complete the Challenge application form on the Challenge page available at https://forms.gle/dufAxQrMetmvLbJeA and submit your entry as provided on the Challenge page and in these Official Rules. You may enter as a Team (as defined below) or on a provisional basis as an individual. By submitting your entry, you are agreeing to these Official Rules on behalf of yourself and all Team members, and by participating all Team members agree to the Official Rules as a participating entrant. A Team will collectively also be deemed an entrant. One entry per individual or Team. An individual may only participate on one team. Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different email or addresses, accounts, identities, or any other methods will void that participant's entries and that participant may be disqualified. In the event of a dispute as to any entrant, the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the entry will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. A potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder. In the event of an ongoing dispute as to any entrant, Sponsor has the right to make determination as to entrant(s) in its sole discretion. For a group of individuals to enter the contest (a “Team”), the Team must agree to and designate one person as the agent of the Team (“main point of contact”) to submit the entry and to accept the prize on behalf of the Team. Each individual on a Team must agree to these Official Rules. By submitting an entry, the submitter represents that all Team members have read and agreed to these Official Rules. All entries must meet the following criteria:

Eligibility. In order to be eligible, participants must be at least the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence. Employees of Sponsor and its parent and affiliate companies as well as the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings and children) and household members of each such employee are not eligible. Before participating in the Challenge, you should also consider whether you or your team members have any conflicting obligations that prevent participation. If an entrant is an employee of a corporation, government or an academic institution, or enrolled as a student, it is his or her sole responsibility to review, understand and abide by his or her employer’s, or academic institution’s policies regarding eligibility to participate in the Challenge. If an entrant is found to be in violation of his or her employer’s or academic institution’s policies, then he or she will be, and the Team may be, disqualified from participating in the Challenge and from being awarded or retaining any prize. Sponsor disclaims any and all liability or responsibility for disputes arising between an employee or student and his or her employer or academic institution related to the Challenge. By applying, entrants acknowledge that they understand that they are not employees of Rasa Technologies Inc Corporation, its parent, or any of their direct or indirect subsidiaries or affiliated companies, whether or not they are admitted to the Challenge. To avoid doubt, no application, acceptance, award, or other action related to the Challenge should be construed as employment by Rasa Technologies Inc Corporation, its parent, or any of their direct or indirect subsidiaries or affiliated companies. Contestants are not eligible to participate or receive prizes if they are on the US Specifically Designated Nationals (SDN) list, the US comprehensive sanctions list, or if there are sanctions against the contestant’s country such that Rasa is prohibited from paying them.

Winners. All entries will be reviewed and evaluated by judges selected by the Sponsor (“Expert Judges”). In reviewing the entries, Judges will be looking for degree of alignment with the following criteria:
