Is it possible to win the competition with games that were already published or created beforehand?

Hello everyone, I have a question about the last competition that Horizon Worlds held,  Meta Horizon “Creator Competition: Mobile Genre Showdown - Reloaded.”

I’ve been looking through people’s projects to decide which one to vote for, and I noticed that some of them were created before the competition even started.

I’ve even seen some partners who have submitted games that they had already made or started beforehand, which I don’t quite understand,  especially considering they’re partners.

I’d like to know if it was allowed to submit games that we had already started before the competition was launched? I assume that shouldn’t be allowed, but since I’ve seen Partners and Members submit games that were created months earlier, I need to know if those games are still eligible to win prizes.

If not, I hope the Meta team takes a look into it.
