Every contest needs some basic rules to make up for a fair competition. The rules for the "ARIS in 10 years" contest within ARIS Community are as follows:
- Submit your idea for ARIS in 10 vears till the 9th of December 2016 at 16:00 am CET by uploading it to the "BPM is fun" group within ARIS Community.
The following points are important to consider:- Write a post describing your idea.
- Add a visual demo (e.g. mock-up, video or graphics) of your idea so that people will understand your vision.
- Tag your post with “Manage Your Future”.
- Monitor the comments of your post, because we or others might ask questions about your contest entry.
- Each submitted idea will be added to a list. To determine the winners, we will provide an online polling via ARIS Community. Every ARIS Community member will be allowed to vote for the best idea. The online voting will start on 10th of December 2016 and end on 14th of December 2016 at 12:00 am CET.

The following points are important:- Participants can increase their chance to win by submitting several ideas.
