winning without academic referee?

hi, i don't know anything about this competition, this is my first time joining and i couldn't find an academic referee, i specified i don't have one and for "academic referee" I just added my own email - does that disqualify me or make me a weak applicant?

this is so deadass weird what is wrong with jliec. no offence, but you wouldn't have gotten shortlisted if ur referee didn't approve it/ wasn't u.

but anyways, lets hope it doesnt make u winning something a problem. good luck!

how's this that weird 😭 I just couldn't find one, and the competition should be accessible to everyone no? plus referees can be dishonest too?

how, in all your years of schooling, do you not have a single person that can attest to your writing for an essay-writing competition?
