You may enter the Grand Prize Drawing through as many Creative Presentations as you like.

 

5.  Selection of Potential Winner.  Sponsor will randomly select one (1) Promoter's Creative Presentation from among all Creative Presentations and Sponsor will then select one (1) potential Grand Prize Winner from among all eligible entries received through the selected Creative Presentation, on or about January 27, 2017.  Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules.  The potential winner will be notified by email and/or mail within ten (10) days of the drawing.  Except where prohibited, potential winner must complete, electronically sign, and submit a Declaration of Compliance, Liability & Publicity Release ("Declaration") within seven (7) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim the prize.  If a Canadian resident, the potential winner will be required to correctly answer a time-linited, skill-testing question without any assistance in order to be eligible to receive the prize.  If a winner has not reached the age of majority in his/her home state or province, the prize will be awarded in the name of his/her parent or legal guardian. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to submit the Declaration within the required time period, fails to correctly answer the skill-testing question (if applicable), or if the prize is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits the prize.  In that event, an alternate entrant will be selected in his/her place at random from among all eligible entries received for the selected Creative Presentation.  Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded.  Prize will be fulfilled 8 - 10 weeks after winner verification.

 

6.  Prize.  One (1) Grand Prize will be awarded.  The prize for which an entrant is eligible depends on the Creative Presentation through which he/she entered.  Accordingly, the Grand Prize for a winner who entered through this Creative Presentation will be: $10,000 USD.  Prize is non-transferable, and no substitution will be made except as provided herein at the Sponsor’s and Promoter’s sole discretion.  Sponsor and Promoter reserve the right to substitute the prize with another prize of greater or equal value if the designated prize should become unavailable for any reason.  Winner is solely responsible for any and all applicable fees and taxes associated with prize receipt and use.  The odds of this Creative Presentation being selected depend on the total number of Creative Presentations.  If this Creative Presentation is selected, the odds of winning depend on the number of entries received through this Creative Presentation.
