2. If I'm a US citizen but I'm currently living in a foreign country, can I still become a Contestant?

Probably not. In order to participate in the Contest, in addition to meeting all of the other eligibility requirements set forth in the Official Rules, you must be a legal resident of one the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia (specifically excluding Puerto Rico and all other territories) (we call this area the "Eligibility Area"). If you are temporarily living in a foreign country, but are still a legal resident in the Eligibility Area (e.g., you are on temporary assignment to another country for your job), you might be eligible to participate. However, if you have changed your residence to a location outside the Eligibility Area, we're sorry, but you are not eligible to participate in the Contest, even if you are a U.S. citizen. It's not that we wouldn't love to have you aboard -- we've implemented this rule primarily for legal reasons (most U.S. contests are similarly limited for legal reasons), and because we wanted to simplify the Greenlight Contest this first time out. We hope you understand.
