IFComp News: Relaxing the hush rule

IFComp News: Relaxing the hush rule

http://ift.tt/1TKzkfY

Following quite a bit of thoughtful public discussion, we’re carrying on with our experiment to relax Author Rule #4 this year.

The revised rule reads as follows:

Authors may not encourage competition judges to violate the rules that pertain to them (as listed above). This includes, but is not limited to, the rule requiring judges to cast all ratings in good faith.

In other words: while you are free to talk about your entries in public, please avoid suggesting to judges, directly or indirectly, how they ought to fill out their ballots. Competition voting rules and guidelines already instruct judges to rate entries according to their own tastes and principles, based on their individual experiences with the works. Please do not ask them to act in any other way.

Please see the full rules page for the change in context.
