C. GENERAL CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION IN THE NATIONAL COMPETITION
RESERVATIONS/VIOLATIONS
All participants in the Young Lions competition undertake to submit only those applications and design proposals that comply with the conditions of participation. This also applies to the correct information on the application.
The jury reserves the right to exclude applications from the Young Lions competition if they do not comply with the conditions of participation or if the jury is convinced that the work could cause damage to Cannes Lions, Weischer, the competition partners or the Young Lions competition. A reason for exclusion is also given if there are doubts that the submitted design proposal was not created exclusively by the participants, or if there are other legal and in particular competition law concerns. The decision to exclude an application is at the sole discretion of the jury responsible for the respective category.
OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITY OF THE SUBMITTER; CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION AND EVALUATION
By submitting the application via the participation platform, the participants confirm that they have read and accepted the conditions of participation.
The jury will make its decision in accordance with the procedure set out in section B. for the respective competition category. The jury’s decision and assessment is final and there is no right of appeal.

Without being limited to this, Weischer is in particular entitled to publish all submitted design proposals and/or award-winning work on the online media operated by Weischer (in particular: Weischer websites and various social media channels). In this way, the submitted design proposals and/or award-winning works are to be presented to the widest possible audience. The selection of the design proposals/works published in this way is at the sole discretion of Weischer. There is no entitlement to publication.
Without being limited to this, Weischer is also entitled in particular to transfer and/or license the rights of use and exploitation granted to the competition partners so that the respective competition partner can use and exploit the submitted design proposal. This use and exploitation of the submitted design proposal may take place both in unaltered form and in edited form. If the competition partner uses and exploits a submitted design proposal, the participants waive their right to be named as the author. There is no entitlement to use and exploitation by the competition partner.
Participants also agree that Weischer’s competition partners may contact them using the contact details provided.
OBLIGATIONS IN COOPERATION WITH THIRD PARTIES AND USE OF THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS
If persons are depicted in the design proposal submitted, the participants are obliged to ensure that the person depicted agrees to the use and/or exploitation in accordance with these conditions of participation. This consent must be obtained in writing and submitted together with the design proposal. The declaration of consent must also be submitted if a participant is depicted themselves.

The participants further guarantee that, in the event of the use of materials and/or copyright works of third parties in the submitted design proposal, they have obtained the consent of the respective rights holders for the use of these components by Weischer and/or the competition partners in accordance with the conditions of participation here and that it is possible for them to effectively grant Weischer and/or the competition partners the aforementioned rights.
The participants indemnify Weischer and/or the competition partners against all third-party claims asserted due to the use of the design proposal submitted by the participant.
