from mitoujr-mentoring-tips There’s nothing wrong with including images created by others in proposal materials, as long as the source is clearly stated.

  • A: Include images created by others without stating the source.
    • Not this one.
    • Image search will reveal.
    • I don’t think it’s an immediate rejection by itself, but I feel that you are a person who is unclear about the distinction between what you have made and what others have made.
  • B: “You can only put in what you make yourself.”
    • This is not correct.
    • Some schools are so afraid of A that they knock it to the safe side and teach B.
  • And then there’s the similar question, “Is it okay to use the library?”
    • You can use it. Because Unexplored Junior is not a “contest to build from scratch”.
