By entering this application to creATP Limited, trading as Psychedelics Design (“Psychedelics Design”) for the Psychedelics Design Awards (the “Awards” or “Event”), all Applicants (referred to as “Applicant”) acknowledge and agree to the following Terms and Conditions:

1. Binding Commitment

If I am selected to participate in the Psychedelics Design Awards, I agree, on behalf of myself and my team, to be bound by the Participation and Credentials Terms and Conditions. "Applicant" and "Participant" are used interchangeably throughout.

2. Application Submission and Review

• Submission of this application does not guarantee selection for participation. Only completed applications will be considered.

• Psychedelics Design’s selection decisions are made at its sole discretion and are based on criteria outlined in the application and these Terms and Conditions. Psychedelics Design is under no obligation to provide application feedback.

• A project or product can be entered in multiple Award categories; each requires a separate application and fee.

3. Submission Method

• All information must be entered via the application form only. URL links to additional information/resources are permitted and encouraged.

• No additional information or edits are permitted after submission. No exceptions will be made.

4. Access to Submission Materials

• Applicants are solely responsible for ensuring that judges can access all materials submitted for review. This includes providing accurate, functional passwords for any password-protected websites, PDFs, or external drives. Psychedelics Design strongly encourages the use of direct, unpassworded links to PDFs or webpages whenever possible. If judges cannot access all submission materials due to applicant error (e.g., incorrect passwords, broken links), the judging will be based solely on the accessible information. 

• Physical Copies and Products: Psychedelics Design generally does not accept or require physical copies, prototypes, or models of submissions for judging, display, or exhibition unless specifically asked for by the judges. Applicants are solely responsible for the logistics, cost, shipping, and insurance of physical submissions. Psychedelics Design is not responsible for any loss, theft, or damage to physical submissions, whether in transit, storage, or display. Unless otherwise specified in writing, physical submissions will not be returned to Applicants.

5. Application Fees

• The application fee covers handling, reviewing, and processing the application, and is non-refundable for any reason, including non-acceptance or inability to participate.

• If the event does not take place, an application fee waiver may be requested for a future event.

6. Category Selection

• Psychedelics Design reserves the right to place an entry in the most relevant category at its sole discretion, including re-categorization based on judge feedback or applicant choice.

7. Finalist & Winner Procedures

• Finalists in each category will be provided with two complimentary tickets to attend the Awards event (online or in-person). No refunds for event tickets already purchased before notification of finalist status.

• Winners in each category will receive a presentation (video recording) slot during the Awards Finalist Showcase.

• Finalists must provide a high-resolution photo representative of their project upon request. Finalists are responsible for ensuring their submissions and warranting that they hold all necessary legal rights to the visuals used, and they explicitly permit Psychedelics Design to use the visuals.

8. Eligibility & Content

• Entries containing pornographic, hateful, defamatory, or offensive material are not eligible and may be disqualified at any time without notice.

9. Judging

• Finalists and winners are selected by the Psychedelics Design team, advisory team, awards board and industry judges, ensuring that every submission receives consideration.

• Entries are judged on impact, beauty, originality, functionality, journey, and depth of user insight. Design critique, like design development, is not an exact science. Accordingly, the weight given to each criterion will vary with the goal of each product or service.

• After the finalists are chosen, there will be a public voting period. The public vote will account for 20% of the final score, with the remaining 80% determined by the Psychedelics Design team, advisory team, and judges. The final selection of winners will be based on this combined score, and that selection will be made at the sole discretion of the Psychedelics Design team, advisory team, awards board, and industry judges.
