full rights to submit it.
There is no negotiation on the submission date and any entries received after the deadline will not
be included. Following the announcement of the winner more dates will be implemented to the
winner to make sure all deadlines are met so please keep this in mind before submitting. Failure to

UTS does have internal structures that make some things difficult. ActivateUTS staff will work
together with you and UTS to make your idea reality but some things may not be possible and you
acknowledge you will accept this.
