Competition Rules & Fair Play Policy

FairArena is built on the principles of fairness, transparency, and integrity. All participants — organizers, contestants, and judges — are expected to uphold these standards. This article outlines the rules that govern all competitions hosted on the platform.

General Rules

• All participants must use their real identity. Creating fake accounts or impersonating others is strictly prohibited.
• Contestants must submit original work. Plagiarism, use of AI-generated content without disclosure, or recycling of previously submitted work is not allowed unless explicitly permitted by the organizer.
• Collaborative submissions must clearly list all contributors.
• Participants may not communicate with judges outside of official platform channels.
• Harassment, discrimination, or disrespectful behavior toward any participant is grounds for immediate disqualification.

Rules for Contestants

• Only submit work that you have the right to share and enter into competitions.
• Do not attempt to game the scoring system or manipulate AI scoring.
• Do not share confidential competition materials or judging criteria outside the platform.
• Respect submission deadlines. Late submissions will not be accepted unless stated otherwise.
• Attempting to identify judges or influence their scoring is a violation and may lead to disqualification.

Rules for Organizers

• Organizers must clearly define competition rules, eligibility criteria, and judging criteria before publishing.
• Prize information must be accurate and fulfilled as promised.
• Organizers must maintain confidentiality of all contestant submissions.
• Organizers may not create competitions that promote illegal activities, hate speech, or discrimination.
• FairArena reserves the right to remove competitions that violate platform policies.

Rules for Judges

• Judges must evaluate all submissions objectively based on the stated criteria.
• Judges must disclose any conflicts of interest (e.g., personal relationships with contestants).
• Judges must not share submission contents with third parties.
• AI-suggested scores may be used as a starting point, but all final scores must reflect genuine human judgment.

Violations of FairArena's fair play policy may result in:

• Immediate disqualification from the relevant competition
• Suspension or permanent banning of the account
• Reporting to relevant authorities if illegal activity is involved
