Only one entry per person will be accepted.

There is no fee to enter.

• Originality – 40%

• Relevance to occupational therapy and the OT Unplugged audience – 30%

• How compelling the entrant's reason is – 30%

The eligible entry receiving the highest overall assessment will be selected as the winner.
