In competition rules page there is a paragraph that says:
"You are not eligible to receive any Prize in the Competition if you are a resident of a country designated by the United States Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control."

I have two question about this paragraph:

\n

1) Is residency important or living country? I mean if I live in USA as a student while being an Iran resident, am I eligible to receive the prize? What if I'm a USA resident living in Iran?

\n\n

2) If one of the team members is USA resident (living in USA) and the other one Iran resident (living in Iran) what's the state of prize eligibility?

I do not think you can be resident in a country that you do not live in, hence, your living country is your resident country, they are the same thing.

\n

Only if you are on a very short term (like vacations, studying there I think is long term enough), your living country is different than your resident country.
