What are “Execution logistics” in the judging criteria from the idea submission?

We want to make sure that you will be able to achieve your desired plan. In other words, you must prove to us that your Firefox sticker is likely to be placed where you have indicated. For example, you can do this by showing us that you already have approval to place the sticker on landmarks or that you have already acquired the equipment necessary to get to an obscure location.

Will this cost me anything?

If your idea is chosen, we'll send you a giant Firefox sticker free of charge.

Where can I stick the logo?

Anywhere that is 1) legal and 2) doesn't put you or your team in danger.

I'm not sure which category my idea fits into... is that a problem?

The judges will evaluate all submissions based on how well the idea fits into one of the four stated categories, so please do your best to figure out the category where your installation fits. If you think it could fit in more than one category, choose what you think is the strongest case.

What quality must the final photo be?

The final photograph should be at least 3.2 megapixels, and more resolution is appreciated.

Can I submit more than one idea?

No. Only one submission is allowed per individual.

What happens to my photos after I submit them?

All photos will be displayed in a slideshow on Operation Firefox's website and blogged about through Mozilla's Spread Firefox community website. Mozilla may also use any or all of the submitted photos in the future to promote Firefox or Mozilla.

How big are the Firefox stickers?

The giant Firefox stickers are about 3.5 feet in diameter.

Do the stickers ruin surfaces?

The stickers use a light adhesive similar to Post-it® Notes. Each sticker comes with specific instruction on how to apply the sticker. If followed, the stickers should not damage the surface.

Who will be judging?

An internal team from Mozilla will be reviewing and evaluating the submissions.

How do you determine the winners?

The four finalists willl be determined by the following scoring breakdown:

• - Concept/originality (25 points)
• - Aesthetic quality (25 points)
  • * focus
  • * exposure
  • * placement in photo
• - Completeness of documentation (25 points)
  • * minimum: one photograph
  • * photos/video of the process
  • * write up of how you did it
  • * proof of non-doctored photo
• - How well it fits its category (25 points)

The grand prize winner will then be chosen from the four finalists based on a fifth category - the “wow factor.” A submission with a strong “wow factor” would make the judges say, “We would have never thought of that!” or “How did they do that?”

Can I participate from anywhere around the world?

Due to legal and logistical reasons, you need to be in a country where a Mozilla office is located. Eligible locations outside of the United States include Japan, China, Canada (except the Province of Quebec), and New Zealand. Please see the Official Rules for details.
