The Egypt Eclipse Community Pathway (the "Award") is offered by IMXP Events LLC, 411 Brazos Street, Unit 103, Austin, Texas 78701, United States ("Sponsor", "we", "us"). Sponsor is a for-profit company that organizes Egypt Eclipse. Questions: marhaba@egypt-eclipse.com.

• residents of Italy and Brazil, and of any country or region subject to comprehensive United States sanctions (currently including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine)
• anyone who lives somewhere this Award is prohibited or restricted by law
• employees and contractors of Sponsor, members of the judging panel, and their immediate family members (spouse, parents, siblings, children) and household members

3Entry Period

The entry period opens on 1 October 2026 and closes at 11:59 pm Central Daylight Time (UTC-5) on Friday 9 October 2026. Sponsor's server clock is the official timekeeper. Late entries are not accepted.

4How to Enter

Complete and submit the free entry form at https://egypt-eclipse.imxp.org/checkout/community-pathway/checkout before the entry period closes.

Enter for free

To be eligible, an entry must:

• include your name and email address
• answer the required questions
• tick the required acknowledgements

Limits:

• One entry per person. If we receive more than one entry from the same person, only the first complete entry counts.
• No extra or bonus entries are available for any reason, including a purchase, a deposit, an application, or sharing on social media.
• Entries must be your own work. They must not infringe anyone's rights, and must not be offensive or unlawful. Entries that break these rules are disqualified.

The entry page also offers an optional $999 place deposit. The deposit is a separate purchase. It is not part of entering, it is not needed to enter, and it has no effect on judging. Judges are not told who has made a purchase or deposit.

Ticking the box to receive Egypt Eclipse updates is optional and has no effect on your entry.

5Judging

The panel. Eligible entries are judged by a panel of at least three members of the Eclipse Trilogy Council (listed in section 16). At least one judge is independent of Sponsor, as described in section 6. The full names of the judges are available on request from marhaba@egypt-eclipse.com.

What the judges see. Judges score your answers only. They do not see whether you made a purchase or deposit.

The criteria. Each judge scores each entry out of 100 points:

Scoring. An entry's score is the average of the judges' scores. The entry with the highest score wins.

Ties. If two or more entries tie, the entry with the higher Contribution score wins. If they are still tied, the judges re-read only the tied entries and vote on Contribution alone. The entry with the most votes wins.

Minimum standard. Sponsor may decline to award the prize if no entry reaches an average score of at least 60 out of 100. If that happens, we will say so on this page.

Records. The judges' decisions are final on matters of judging. Sponsor keeps score records for 12 months.

6Independent Judge

The independent judge meets every point below, and has confirmed it in writing:

• not an owner, officer, employee, contractor or agent of IMXP Events LLC
• receives no fee, commission, free or discounted place, or other benefit from Sponsor in connection with Egypt Eclipse or this Award
• not an owner, employee or agent of an Egypt Eclipse partner or intermediary, including Etapes Nouvelles Egypte Voyages (ENEV), Insider Expeditions, or any reseller or partner
• does not enter, declares any personal or family relationship with an entrant, and steps aside from scoring any entry they know personally
• has relevant experience to judge the criteria in section 5
• agrees that their full name is made available on request

The winner is responsible for any taxes on the prize. Sponsor will issue any tax forms required by law.

13Changes, Suspension and Disqualification
