-        <p>Before you start creating the animation videos, you need to send a proposal. The proposal is divided into two parts, stage 1 and stage 2. The details for both the stages are given below.</p>

-        <ul>

-            </li>
-            <li>
-                Enter your <strong>Category</strong> and <strong>Subcategory.</strong> The Subcategory field refers to the specific subdomain in which the topic to be animated lies. 
-                <span>For example, if any topic related to Newtonian motion is to be animated, the Category would be Physics and the Subcategory would be Classical Mechanics.</span>
-                If there is any ambiguity regarding the Subcategory (or sub-categories) that the chosen topic comes under, enter your best guess after performing a Google Search.

-    Please note that the second form is completed and sent after the contributor has worked out the more precise details of their proposed animation.

-            However, you are expected to use only open source tools, like manim, mayavi, blender, etc.  You can also use an open source game engine. The only criteria is that the video should convey the essence of what is being animated.

+		<p>
+			The criterion for obtaining a certificate from <a href = "https://fossee.in/">FOSSEE, IITB</a> is that you should have successfully submitted and uploaded your animation on the FOSSEE animations website.
+			<br>FOSSEE sends the certificate to your registered email within 15 working days.
+			If you submit a bunch of closely related videos in a series, you receive a certificate for that set. Otherwise, for every standalone contribution, you receive a certificate. The certificate is issued by FOSSEE, IIT Bombay.
