It is customary that one may publish one’s own personal correspondence unless the other party has requested confidentiality.

Maybe this open invitation to the world pushes the boundaries of that definition, but I don’t see where an expectation of privacy comes in here.

Personal correspondence sure, but it's a contest: applicants don't gain anything from having a partially public entry of their credentials nor does the contest gain from exposing people's credentials.

> How It Worked

No setup. No registration. Just send an email.

There are no contest rules or terms of service to adhere to, while having corporate sponsors that should be complying with data regulations around the world, while having a prize (which is restricted in some parts of the world).

>Original prize pool: $100 from me + $200 from Corgea + $200 from an anonymous donor + $500 from Abnormal AI (+ $500 API credits)

Definitely a case in keeping all personal details from contestants.. private.
