Submitting an application
An application starts as a draft that can be saved and completed later. At final submission, the submitted version is locked and is reopened only if the administration requests that a specific omission be completed.
Accuracy of information
Author and publication details, links and documents must be accurate and verifiable. An application may be rejected if material information cannot be verified or if the submitted information differs from the official source.
Authorship
The work must be submitted by its sole author, or by the first author when there are multiple authors. The applicant declares that they are authorized to participate and do not infringe the rights of the other authors.
Completing an application
If an omission can be corrected, the application may be returned to the participant with the required corrections specified. This process cannot be used to replace the work with another work or substantially change its content.
Evaluation
Eligibility is checked first. Eligible works are then referred for evaluation under the criteria for the cycle and track.
Conflicts of interest
If an evaluator identifies a conflict that prevents them from evaluating an assigned work, the conflict is recorded and the work is reassigned to another evaluator.
Results
Evaluation scores and evaluators’ recommendations are not final results. A result becomes official when it is approved and published.
Privacy and copyright
Application files remain private unless their owner permits publication and the applicable rights allow it. Submitting a work does not transfer copyright ownership to Nashr Arabi.
Cycle rules
Each cycle page sets out its specific requirements, dates and documents. The version accepted by the participant remains linked to their application at final submission.
