    Submissions will be posted on Communities.Challenge.gov on a rolling basis after being screened by the Sponsor and Administrator for eligibility, accuracy of messaging, and compliance with all Submission requirements described in Section 4. Submissions will not be posted until the completed Image Release Forms and Copyright Release Form are received, as described in Section 4b. All Contestants will have equal access to Submissions posted on the Web site. Non-Contestants interested in the Challenge are also encouraged to register on Communities.Challenge.gov. Registration will be required in order to receive updates on the Challenge and to vote on your favorite Submissions to determine the Popular Choice winner.

    Each registered visitor is able to place one vote per day. There will be one Popular Choice award. In the event of a tie, an internal panel will choose the winner. Use of an automated process or similar device to submit an electronic vote is strictly prohibited. Any attempt to circumvent the one vote limit per Submission per day or to use an automated vote process will subject all votes from the person to disqualification.

If the voting process fails to operate properly or appears to be tampered with or tainted with errors, fraud, or unfair practices, the Sponsor and Administrator in their sole discretion reserve the right to use another means to determine the Popular Choice winner (e.g., appointing a panel of judges).

    Contestants may not pay people or provide any other type of consideration in exchange for votes, and any Contestant who violates this rule will be disqualified. Public votes may be displayed on the Challenge Web site, on a real-time basis, before being verified for integrity. These unverified votes do not necessarily reflect accurately the Popular Choice winner. The Popular Choice winner will be the Contestant who is contacted directly by the Administrator or Sponsor after votes have been verified. Sponsor reserves the right to modify the voting period at any time for any reason.

    6. Judges and Winner Selection

    A judging panel will be selected by the Sponsor and consist of 5-9 experts, all of whom will be Federal employees.
