If the online submission tool goes down for more than two hours on the last day of submission (31st March 2017), the organizers will make the tool available for submissions between 8.00 and 18.00 (CET) on the day following the final submission day (i.e. 1st April 2017).
• If submitted files are lost or deleted, due to a bug in the Odysseus II Contest online system, the relevant team will be allowed to resubmit their entry, after the submission deadline if necessary. However, this will not be the case if the contestants themselves have deleted or corrupted their files.
• Entries to the Odysseus II contest must be submitted only via the Odysseus Contest website. Before a team/contestant submits an entry, they must register and be approved by the organizers (also see Registration).
• Each entry must address a single theme from those provided by the organizers. However, contestants can choose the subject area with which they tackle the theme: electronics, physics, chemistry, art, design, architecture, psychology etc. can all be used to illuminate an aspect of the chosen theme.

• A project submission template will be available through the official website during the submission process that will enable contestants to compile their submissions. Use of this template is optional.
• The maximum limit on the total size of uncompressed files for each entry is: 20 MB. Contestants may bundle multiple files into a package for submission. They may also compress the files into a *.gz or *.zip format so long as the uncompressed files meet the size limit of 20MB.
