Entrant

Entrant refers to a person or entity that participates in a competition, contest, game, or other activity that involves multiple participants vying for a specific outcome or prize. The term is often used in formal contexts, such as legal documents, official rules, or competition guidelines.

An entrant distinguishes themselves by actively taking steps to become involved in the defined activity. This typically involves registration, application, or some other form of enrollment that signifies their intent to compete or participate. The specific requirements for becoming an entrant vary depending on the nature of the competition.

The responsibilities and obligations of an entrant are usually outlined in the rules of the competition. These may include adhering to specific guidelines, meeting eligibility requirements, accepting the terms and conditions of participation, and respecting the decisions of judges or organizers.

The term "entrant" can also be used more broadly to describe someone who enters a place or situation. However, its most common usage relates to participation in competitive events.
