Confidentiality & Integrity

1. Confidentiality:
   All judges are bound by non-disclosure agreements to ensure the confidentiality of submitted materials. Sensitive information should be clearly marked as confidential within your submission. 

2. Use of AI in Entries:
   AI can be a helpful tool when used responsibly — for example, to improve grammar, structure, or clarity. As long as the content accurately represents the entrant’s own work and is supported by genuine evidence or materials, this is acceptable. However, entries that appear to be heavily written or generated by AI, without clear originality or insight, will be marked down by the judges. 

3. Accuracy of Information:
   Providing false or misleading information may result in immediate disqualification and forfeiture of any awards or recognition.

4. Reputation Protection:
   The organisers reserve the right to disqualify any entry that may bring the International Brilliance Awards or its partners into disrepute.

5. Public Announcements:
   Non-confidential information from winning and shortlisted entries may be used for promotional purposes, including press releases, social media, and the official website. Entrants who wish to opt out of publicity must inform the organisers before the shortlist announcement.
