FAFO Awards

Terms of Participation

FAFO AWARDS — TERMS OF PARTICIPATION By submitting an application or nomination, or by voting, you agree to the following: 1. SUBMISSION PERMISSIONS - Artists applying for themselves confirm they own or have permission to submit the material they provide, and grant FAFO Awards permission to display their approved profile, links, and music publicly for the duration of the awards. - Nominators confirm they act in good faith and understand the nominated artist may need to verify their identity or accept the nomination before any profile is activated. 2. ELIGIBILITY - You must provide accurate information. False, misleading, or impersonating submissions may be rejected or removed. - Up to three categories per artist; one item per category; no duplicate tracks. 3. REVIEW PROCEDURES - All submissions are reviewed by administrators. Approval of a profile and of each category entry are separate decisions. Administrators may approve, request changes, reject, or unpublish any submission or entry. 4. NOMINATION VERIFICATION - A nomination does not make anyone an official nominee. Nominees appear on the ballot only after review, approval, and any required artist verification. 5. VOTING INTEGRITY - One free vote per signed-in voter per category every 24 hours, enforced server-side. - Any attempt to manipulate voting — automation, multiple accounts, exploiting technical flaws, or buying or selling votes — may result in revoked votes, flagged accounts, and removal from the competition. 6. FRAUDULENT PARTICIPATION - FAFO Awards may investigate suspicious activity, revoke votes, suspend accounts, and disqualify entries. Records of investigations and revoked votes are retained for audit. 7. PAID FEATURES - No paid voting or donation features are currently enabled. If introduced, their terms will be added to this document and published before launch. 8. NO GUARANTEES - Participation does not guarantee nomination, advancement, or any award. Competition dates and stage structures may be adjusted by the administrators. 9. DRAFT STATUS These terms are a working draft provided for the organizer\u2019s review. They are not legal advice. The organizer should review and finalize them — with qualified legal counsel where appropriate — before publishing.
