1. CONTEST WINNER DETERMINATION: One (1) Contest winner will be selected. After the Contest Period ends, a panel of judges from the Sui team (the "Judges") will review all eligible Submissions and evaluate them based on four equally-weighted criteria: (i) Quality of Research: depth of understanding, accuracy, use of credible sources (25%), (ii) Clarity & Writing: structure, readability, grammar, and storytelling (25%), (iii) Originality: unique angle, fresh perspective, or novel insights (25%), and (iv) Value to Community: educational value, usefulness to readers, engagement potential (25%). The Submission with the highest total score will be deemed the winner. In the event of a tie in total score, the tie will be broken by comparing the tied Submissions’ scores for Quality of Research; the Submission with the higher Quality of Research score will be deemed the winner. If a tie remains, the Judges will compare the tied Submissions’ scores for Clarity & Writing, then Originality, then Value to Community, in that order, until the tie is broken.
2. NOTIFICATION: Contest winner will be announced on or around [ANNOUNCEMENT DATE] via the @SuiNetwork account on X (the “Notification”). The Sponsor will contact the Contest winner via direct message to collect a compatible Sui wallet address for token distribution. Winner must provide a valid wallet address to receive the prize. Token distribution will be initiated within fifteen (15) business days after the winner supplies the required information. The return of a potential winner’s notification, prize information, or the prize as undeliverable or the rejection of the prize by the potential winner will result in disqualification of the potential winner and an alternate potential winner may be selected pursuant to the winning criteria. In the event of a dispute about the identity of an entrant, the authorized account holder of the social-media profile associated with the potential winner’s entry will be deemed the entrant.
