Office Add-In Rule Clarification
Hi,
I want to confirm that an Office add-in without a connection to any Office 365 APIs or Microsoft Graph is still a valid submission. If I recall correctly, last years' submissions did require either the APIs or a Graph connection, so I'm just looking for verification that an add-in connecting only to the JavaScript API for office is still a valid entry.
Thank you!

Of course! The rules for what to build state the following:
(i) What to Create: Makers must create or update an existing working software Application that will help deliver modern productivity to users. Applications must be one of the following:
- An “Office Add-in,” which comprises Add-ins for SharePoint or Microsoft Office;
- A SharePoint Framework web part;
- An “Office 365 App,” which is an application that calls the Microsoft Graph or an Office 365 REST API; OR
- A “Mobile Office App,” which is a native app for mobile devices that calls the Microsoft Graph.
So for an Add-in to be eligible it must function in Microsoft Office or SharePoint, but it does not need to call a specific API. Does that make sense? If you have more questions, please let me know.
All the best,
Stefanie
