Proposal Acceptance/Rejection

The review panel will review all submitted proposals and reserves the right to accept or reject any proposal, based on the criteria for selection. The decision of the review panel is final, and no appeal is possible. The moderators will be notified of the decision of the review panel within 1 month of the proposal submission. 

If the proposal is accepted subject to revisions, the revised proposal must be submitted within the stipulated timeframe; otherwise, it will be deemed as rejected.
