REGISTRATION AND ACTIVATION OF ENTRANT

Definition
An entrant is a subject made up of one or more participants.
A group leader may belong only to the category of designer.
A group leader may not be changed.
Registration
An entrant must first register on the site by furnishing information such as:
first and last name, PEC email (1), password and acceptance of privacy clause.
During registration, a new entrant creates a unique identity code called the registration code.
The first and last names and PEC email indicated at registration are those of the group leader; this information may not be modified subsequently.
Participants added subsequently may belong to any category, but may never become the group leader.
Following the rules explained above, before proceeding with registration, in the case of group participation, it is important to identify the group leader and use his/her data for registration to obtain the registration code.
All communication between the Competition's web platform and the entrant shall take place using the group leader's PEC email.

(1) N.B.: for registering on the platform, use of certified email @postacertificata.gov.it is not allowed, in that this type of mailbox is used exclusively for communication between Government and governmental agencies and the Citizen as a private citizen and not acting as a company or as a professional. See: Article 16 bis comma 5 of law number 2/2009.
Activation
At the end of registration, an email shall be sent to the PEC address indicated; said email shall contain the registration code to be used in all phases of the competition and a link to click to activate registration and guarantee the accuracy of the PEC email address used.
If the entrant does not receive an email for activation, he/she may request a re-send using the function of retrieve link for activation (recupera link di attivazione). The entrant must click on the link received in the email to complete registration.
The activation link has no expiration date.
After having clicked on the activation link, the entrant will be redirected to the Login page.
Retrieve password
In case of necessity, the entrant may fill out a form to retrieve a password (recupero della password), indicating the PEC email address and the registration code. The system provides for creating a new password and sending it to the PEC email address provided by the entrant.
The new password substitutes the old one indicated during registration and may not be changed; it is always possible to use the retrieve a password function (recupero della password).

ENTRANTS RESERVED AREA

Once registration is complete, the entrant can use the registration code and password to access the Reserved Area (Area Riservata) where all the functions needed to participate in the competition may be found.
The competition in one single phase:
  • The single phase, accessible to all registered participants, provides for transmission of Envelope A with personal data and Envelope B with the materials for design projects;
Participation in the competition provides for submitting a file made up of personal data (Virtual Envelope A) and design projects (Virtual Envelope B).
For the platform, the order in which the two Envelopes are prepared and completed makes no difference. For example, it is possible to add materials to Virtual Envelope B and subsequently complete the information in Virtual Envelope A or vice versa.

In the right-hand column on the site, each entrant always has at his/her disposal the status of completion for the two Envelopes.
To facilitate understanding, the system uses colored circles to indicate the status:

rosso Incomplete
giallo To be completed
verde Completed and confirmed

Only after having completed and closed the two Virtual Envelopes will it be possible to transmit the file, by the dates provided for by the competition.
