SCREEN RECORDING
As the event is organized online, participants must have stable internet connection during the whole time of the competition and using a device with full audio and video connecting possibilities. If you participate, we will have to ask you to record your screen during the 90 min of writing, to secure fairness of competition. All personal data from non-recipients as well as all recordings will be deleted after we assessed the submissions.
The recordings will be large files so you should email them to us using a service like WeTransfer or upload it to a cloud storage service like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive, and share them with us. Make sure to keep them there for 3 weeks. Make sure you record the Word document window, not the Zoom meeting.
