The CQWW introduced an explorer category in 2021. Rules are at
https://www.cqww.com/rules_explorer.htm
It is good that contests offer an opportunity for people to experiment.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] New Explorer Category in SAC
I found interesting the new "Explorer" category in this year's SAC contest that
encourages innovation and experimentation. CQWW tried something similar in
2011-2012 if I remember correctly, and it fizzled out. This year's CW SAC is
this weekend. The Phone weekend is later in October. For those who may be
unfamiliar with the SAC, they have a history of trying out innovative concepts.
Some years ago they had a page where ops could provide a link to live video or
live video/audio to their shacks during the contest.
SAC Category Explorer 2023
With the EXPLORER Category we want to encourage you to do experiments in the
way you participate in contests. It can be the way you use remote receivers,
internet links, video transmissions and it also includes some new thinking in
hardware design like filters, clean signals, TX interleaving, remote
controlling and log program innovations. In this way you may participate in the
SAC Contest while experimenting creatively with stations linked in any way,
Multi-signal transmissions and other new technologies. The Category is for both
Scandinavians and non-Scandinavians.
The EXPLORER category is intended to encourage innovation in technology
adaptation, station design, new technology development and operating strategies.
