To which we then received teh following :
Thanks for your patience on this issue. The “prize” referenced in this presentation refers to prizes given to entrants into the contest only. There are no prizes for Directi or other Registrars as part of this program. The sentence was intended to point out that registrants can be eligible to win prizes for participating in the Contest. We apologize for any confusion this wording may have caused.
