Question about the "MY NEW VIERA AND HROTHGAR CONTEST"

[GunsBlazing]

So part of the submission process for participation in this event is to include your character name. Seeing as how a lot of people who made these Hrothgar and Viera characters plan to change into them come 5.0, many will probably also be changing their names to match! I am one such person, and i am left to wonder... If i change my name, will i be ineligible for a potential prize from this contest? If not, what steps can I take to ensure I can still receive one?

Edit: I forgot to mention that the premise of this question is based around the fact that usually the judging period for these contests is at least a few weeks in length, thus probably a month or more into 5.0's release. Do we need to hold off changing our names to match our new bunny overlords for that long?
