Hi!

I have just applied to the random selection to attend WWDC23 with my current account I use to submit my app to the App Store and that is enrolled in the Apple Developer Program.

Just shortly ago however, I received an email on my other Apple ID notifying me that I was eligible to enter the random selection on this other account because I had won the Swift Student Challenge in 2020 and 2021 with it.

So I have a few questions:

First being, will I be disadvantaged or disqualified if I enter the random selection on both accounts?
If so, should I remove my current developer account from the random selection and use the one where I won the Swift Student Challenge instead? Or keep it as is?
Will certain things that make you eligible to enter in the first place have more of a "weight" in the selection process and make you more likely to be selected? Like if you are part of the dev program, an enterprise, won student challenge etc.?

Thank you :)

Here's what Apple's website says:

Requests to attend are accepted until April 4 at 9:00 a.m. PDT from:

Current Apple Developer Program members
Apple Entrepreneur Camp alumni
Swift Student Challenge winners (2020 to 2022)
2023 Challenge applicants can opt in to be included in a separate random selection process for winners when they submit their app playground.
Current Apple Developer Enterprise Program members

Given this info, I wouldn't request to attend from the other Apple ID since it would be the same as applying from your Apple Developer account. Only 2023 Challenge applicants would have a different probability of winning the lottery. It may also disqualify you from the lottery altogether.

I hope your request gets accepted and have a fun WWDC23!
