For full competition details, please review the complete rules, terms and conditions. 

  1. All submission information must be submitted in English.
  2. A required written concept narrative is strictly limited to 3-5 pages double-spaced. Cover pages are not accepted. If a submission exceeds this limit, pages over the stated limit will be removed. Submissions must maintain 1-inch (2.54 cm) margins, double-spacing and use 12-point font. All written concept narratives must be formatted as pdf files. Written concept narratives serve as a submission requirement solely during the first round of the competition.
  3. To eliminate the potential for judging bias, teams must avoid listing or disclosing the names of the schools they represent in their written concept narrative unless the school constitutes a critical element of their concept. Questions about whether the school constitutes disclosing the school name as a critical element of the concept should be directed to info@diamondchallenge.org prior to submission. Failure to abide by this non-disclosure rule will result in a significant point deduction from the team’s score.
