New Jersey Hall of Fame’s AI/Plagiarism Policy

The New Jersey Hall of Fame is committed to honoring the values of excellence, honesty, and integrity embodied by the Areté. All submissions must be the applicant’s own original work.

Plagiarism Policy: Any essay or project that includes copied, uncredited, or improperly attributed material will be disqualified.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI): While AI tools may be helpful for brainstorming or research, applicants must not use AI to generate or compose their final submission. Essays that rely on AI-generated writing will not be accepted.

Review Process: NJHOF reserves the right to review submissions for plagiarism and AI use through manual and digital detection methods.

By submitting an application, students affirm that their work is original, created independently, and reflects their own voice.
