<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2741274, member: 69760&quot;]OK, I got a response back from the US Mint regarding whether or not you can publicize your work - don&#039;t do it!</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>&quot;In the <a href="https://www.usmint.gov/news/design-competitions/apollo-11/rules" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.usmint.gov/news/design-competitions/apollo-11/rules" rel="nofollow">Official Rules</a>, for Phase One of the competition, the United States Mint requires entrants uploading images representative of their portfolio to “redact [their] name and any other personally identifying information from the image and the filename.”&nbsp; This is done in order to keep Phase One submissions anonymous so that entrants are judged not on their name recognition or reputation, but on the artistic merit of their application portfolio.&nbsp; While we don’t prohibit against sharing the work contained in your application portfolio publicly, combining that share with an announcement of your participation in the competition, including personally identifying information, would clearly defeat that anonymity.&nbsp; The United States Mint wishes to keep the focus on a portfolio’s artistic merit, not on an artist’s participation in the competition.</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>If you are invited to participate in Phase Two of the competition, Public Law 114-282 requires anonymity in the design review process, which means you will be prohibited from publicly sharing your design entry along with personally identifying information.&nbsp; Additionally, sharing your design publicly may violate the required Rights Transfer Agreement that you would sign if invited.&quot;</p></blockquote><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
