Message:: [QUOTE="iPen, post: 2738527, member: 69760"]The disqualification language is so broad... looking at rule #2, if I submit both sides of the design, maybe it will disqualify me. Unless I submit it as an "honorable mention", since that would deem it as not part of the official submission. It also technically means that if I submit just one work of art, then I can be disqualified since 3-5 original and distinct works of art are required... III. DisqualificationThe United States Mint reserves the right to disqualify, at any time, artists and their entries, if — <ol> <li>the entrant engages or has been found to have engaged in criminal, infamous, dishonest or notoriously disgraceful conduct, or any other conduct prejudicial to the United States Government;</li> <li>the entry or entrant violates or does not fully comply with these Official Rules;</li> <li>the United States Mint determines that submitted material is not original and/or infringes the rights of a third party; or</li> <li>the entrant is determined to be ineligible by the United States Mint in its sole discretion.</li> </ol>Disqualification could, among other things, result in cancellation of, and/or the requirement that the entrant reimburse the United States Mint for, any payment to which such an entrant might otherwise have been or might become entitled.[/QUOTE]
