Screen for restricted parties and country of residence
Screen contest entrants’ names, and ask for country of ordinary residence on the entrance form/registration. If from Ukraine, ask if they are from the Crimea, Donetsk People’s Republic or Luhansk People’s Republic area. Before awarding any prize to an international contest participant, contact MIT Export Control to conduct a screening for the participant against publicly available, US government export control and sanctions lists. You also may not be able to award the prize if the item cannot be legally exported to the winner's country.

US law prevents MIT from providing services to persons ordinarily resident in Iran, Cuba, Syria, North Korea, or the Crimea, Donetsk People’s Republic, or Luhansk People’s Republic areas of Ukraine and to parties blocked by the US Treasury Department.
