Stage 1 is a short acceptance form. Nothing is due until your entry is accepted.
We read every acceptance form ourselves. Be plain about the scope, and plain about what you are not claiming — it makes acceptance faster, not slower.
Reference ARC-2027-0419. We will reply to {{ emailOrPlaceholder }} within five working days. If accepted, that email carries your submission instructions and the entry fee invoice.
{{ selectedSummary }} · {{ orgOrPlaceholder }}. Settle the entry fee to unlock the full submission form. Your console tracks everything from here.
A magic link is emailed with every stage change, so you never need a password.
