In case of any infringement claim against an entry, the judges / Sponsors will not bear any responsibility and will expect the Entrant to resolve the infringement claim. However, by submitting an entry, Entrant irrevocably grants Sponsors the unconditional and perpetual right and permission to reproduce, encode, store, copy, transmit, publish, post, broadcast, display, publicly perform, adapt, exhibit, edit and/or otherwise use or reuse (without limitation as to when or to the number of times used) the Entrant’s submissions, including, but not limited to, the documents, videos and any other information contained therein (in each case, as submitted or as edited/modified in any way by the Sponsors in their sole discretion), as well as to use Entrant’s name and/or statements regarding its participation in this Award (with or without using the Entrant’s name) in any and all media without limitation as to time or territory, and without additional compensation or approval from the Entrant or any other party.
