The contest entitled "FROGANS AWARDS" is organized jointly by:
Since 2012, the OP3FT, whose purpose is to hold, promote, protect and ensure the progress of the Frogans technology, in the form of an open standard for the Internet, available to all, free of charge, has been working to ensure that the Frogans technology becomes a reality available to all.
The Frogans technology is a secure technology for the publishing of content on the Internet, open to the creativity of publishers and at the service of all Internet users. It enables the introduction of a new software layer on the Internet, called the Frogans layer, alongside other existing software layers such as E-mail or the Web.
GINKIT is an FCR Account Administrator with the identifier A-050255076-001.
The OP3FT and GINKIT are inviting you to participate, at no cost to you, in a contest they are organizing: "FROGANS AWARDS" for the best designers of Frogans sites.
This first global contest for the creation of Frogans sites, open to creative developers,
freelance designers and students, has two suggested themes:
"original shapes" and "showcasing data".
The designs submitted by finalists will be presented publicly during the Frogans Technology Conference 6 on February 16, 2016 at the Télécom ParisTech engineering school (Paris, France) with the winner chosen by applause meter.
The contest is open to all physical persons, at least 18 years old, residing in France or abroad, as well as to all legal persons, whose registered office and main activity are in France or abroad.
There is no submission fee.
The contest is not open to OP3FT employees and regular contractors, nor to GINKIT employees.
FROGANS AWARDS contest comprises three phases:

Each participant can submit as many designs as he wants, subject to each design being submitted by means of a separate email.
In submitting his design, the participant undertakes to respect these Rules, and in particular the obligations given in articles 5 and 7 below.
The finalists will be selected from the phase 1 participants according to the number of retweets they have received.

The more a participant's message is retweeted, the more likely he is to be one of the finalists.
Moreover, if a finalist wins the contest, the tweeters who retweeted will have an opportunity to participate in a random draw to win prizes, under the conditions given in article 6 below.
If a participant in phase 1 does not have a Twitter account or does not wish to tweet in regards to his design, he may nevertheless be chosen as a finalist by GINKIT.
All participants will be informed before February 15, 2016 at 8.00 p.m. (UTC +1) of the Organizers' decision as to whether or not they are finalists.
Information concerning the number of tweets and retweets will be available on request.
