15. Infoxchange may extend any deadline or time limit, terminate the Awards or vary the terms of entry at any time and for any reason at its sole discretion. Infoxchange may also choose not to present any given award if no nominees meet the criteria for that award sufficiently.

16. If an entrant receives an award, the manner and details of announcing that nomination and award are solely at the discretion of Infoxchange. Winning entrants must comply with any non-disclosure or embargo requirements stipulated by Infoxchange.

17. All entries must be for projects or initiatives that have been developed and implemented within the past 18 months. The 18-month window allows for the entry of projects where development may have occurred outside of the year prior to the awards, but only where the significant implementation phase has been in the 12 months prior to the awards.

18. Social enterprises are eligible to enter the Awards provided they are structured as not-for-profit entities, meaning they reinvest all profits into their social or environmental mission and do not distribute profits to individuals or shareholders.

The organisers reserve the right to request documentation to verify an entrant’s not-for-profit status.

19. Award winners will not be required to attend the Awards Ceremony to collect their award in person to be considered eligible, but they may be required to write or record a short (60-second) acceptance speech to be shared at the Ceremony.
