By submitting an Entry you (and your parent/legal guardian) warrant and represent, to the best of your knowledge, that the Entry, and your submission thereof to the Competition, (1) does not violate any law, regulation or right of any third party, including but not limited to patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property or sui generis right, (2) that the Entry does not violate any fiduciary relationship or violate any agreement you may have, (3) that the Entry is your own sole and original idea, (in the case of a team, a joint sole and original idea) and (4) that the Entry does not contain any virus, bugs or other deleterious material.

Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools. Participants may consult Artificial Intelligence tools during the research and planning phases of either Track 1 (The Repairability Lab) or Track 2 (Pitch the Improvement). However, all submitted work—including the component analysis, design proposals, Repair & Service summaries, pitch scripts, and visual materials—must reflect the entrant’s own original ideas and concepts. Any entry that relies primarily on AI-generated content or reproduces AI output without meaningful student transformation may be disqualified at the discretion of the contest administrator.

Entries must be received and recorded by the ENP’s administrator’s Competition computer by January 15, 2027; 11:59:59 pm (ET). If you experience any issues, please click ‘support’ for assistance.

There is no limit on the number of Entry submissions from any entrant or team, but each must be submitted separately. All Entries from a particular entrant or team must be unique as solely determined by ENP. Each user or team may have only one username and password. Any Entry that, in the sole opinion of ENP, is considered inappropriate, offensive or not suitable for publication will be ineligible.

Once an Entry is submitted it is the sole responsibility of the entrant (or entrants), to keep his/her contact information, and that of his/her parent/legal guardian, current. Sponsor is not responsible for any failure to contact an entrant or his/her parent/legal guardian if their respective contact information is not current. To update contact information, please click “support”.

Entries once submitted become the property of ENP and Corsair and will neither be acknowledged nor returned.

9. Judging

There will be three (3) rounds/phases of judging:

Upon registration in the Competition entrant will be given access to questions which must be fully completed for their Entry to be eligible.

Round/Phase 1 of judging is the initial evaluation screening – during which judges will evaluate and confirm each Entry’s compatibility with design theme, as well as whether it is a real Entry (meets basic Entry criteria and makes sense). All answers must be fully complete and submitted, received and recorded by the Competition computer in accordance with the directions on the questions and no later than January 15, 2027; 11:59:59 pm (ET) or the Entry will be disqualified.

At all times, and in every instance, any entrant whose Entry materials, image uploads or use of the site is considered inappropriate or offensive in any way will be immediately and permanently disqualified.

If an Entry is determined by the Administrator and the evaluators as eligible in accordance with the Competition theme, is deemed a valid Entry and is received and recorded by the published deadline, it will be considered an ‘active’ Entry and proceed to Round/Phase 2.

Round/Phase 2 of judging is the ‘active evaluation screening’ – during which judges will evaluate eligible Entry submissions with a focus on the rubrics published in the website for each of the two tracks. All Entries will be reviewed by a minimum of two (2) separate qualified judges. The twenty (20) top scoring active Entry individual submissions (provided that there are at least 20 active Entry individual/team submissions in each track) having received the highest compiled scores in this phase, and therefore deemed to be semifinalists of this Competition, will proceed to the semifinal round of judging, Round/Phase 3.

The potential semifinalists, as decided in Round/Phase 2 of the judging as outlined above, and semifinalist’s parent or legal guardian will be required to complete, sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and a Liability Release within the time stated on the notification. If documents are not returned timely, or if the documents are returned as non-deliverable, or if a semifinalist is found to be ineligible or otherwise not in compliance with these Official Rules, the semifinalist and the semifinalist’s Entry will be disqualified, all rights to the semifinal and grand prize will be forfeited and an alternate semifinalist will be selected.

Round/Phase 3 – Final Round Judging will be completed by a panel of qualified Sponsor appointed judges, who will evaluate the Entries that advanced from Round/Phase 2 using the (above) criteria to determine the top one (1) individual scoring Entry who will be named the Grand Prize Winner in each track of this Competition. In addition, the next top two (3) Individual scoring Entries and will be named Runner-Up Winners in each track of this Competition. All faculty advisors of both Grand Prize winners and runner ups in each track will receive a prize.

There is no assurance that the winning and finalist’s designs will be produced in any form. Any design ideas and elements that are submitted become the property of ENP and Corsair.

Special Note: Being declared the winner or obtaining any ultimate prize is subject to execution of an IP assignment agreement.
