11. Your idea cannot involve any form of mandatory religious study or discriminate against any faith or group.

17. If your idea involves the implementation of a program that requires ongoing funding, we can only guarantee one year of funding.
18. An idea that does not meet the eligibility criteria above will not be posted.

An idea that doesn't meet the eligibility criteria above unfortunately won't qualify for funding. If Aviva determines an idea doesn't meet eligibility criteria prior to the semi-final or judging phases, the idea will be eliminated from competing in those rounds of the competition.

Anyone who is a Canadian resident or citizen of Canada can participate in the Aviva Community Fund competition. It's open to both customers and non-customers of Aviva, and no purchase is necessary to participate.

If an idea is submitted as part of a team effort, the person whose email address is tied to the submission is considered the "team captain." All participant agreements and relationships must be managed outside of the Aviva Community Fund competition program.
