WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION: 

  1. During the week following the end of the Prize Period (the “Initial Judging Period”), the Sponsor will judge the eligible submitted photos from all eligible Entries received during that Prize Period to select six (6) potential prize winners (“Selected Entrants”). Photos will be judged by the Sponsor based on the following criteria (the “Judging Criteria”): (1) Best photo: Best composition, quality and showcasing of overall photography skills (2) Best Moment: Overall photography skills are less critical for this category. We want to see something that will make us smile, raw authenticity and visual storytelling.
  • The Selected Entrants will be notified by e-mail, using contact information provided or collected at the time of entry.  Sponsor shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a Selected Entrant for any reason.  If, despite reasonable efforts, a Selected Entrant  does not respond within seventy-two (72) hours of the first notification attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such Selected Entrant , such Selected Entrant’s Entry will be disqualified and the Sponsor may select a new Selected Entrant either by judging or by random draw.
  • After the Initial Judging Period, the prizes will be allocated to the Selected Entrants for that Prize Period based on the results votes submitted by followers of the Sponsor’s Instagram account. Our followers will vote on the two categories (Best Photo and Best Moment) and there will be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner for both categories, based on the number of votes.
  • Before being declared a winner, potential winners will be required to: (i) correctly answer the Sponsor’s skill-testing question; (ii) sign and return the Sponsor’s Declaration of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release form (“Winner Release”); and (iii) comply with all other Contest Rules, all in the sole discretion of Sponsors.
  • Potential winners will be notified within three business days of the contest results and will be contacted by e-mail, using contact information provided or collected at the time of entry. Up to three attempts will be made to contact potential winners within three business days following the potential winner being deemed potential winner. A potential winner that does not or cannot accept a prize may be forfeited and a new potential winner may be selected by random draw, in the Sponsor’s sole discretion. A signed copy of the Sponsor’s Winner Release must be received by the Sponsor no later than 5 days after the potential winner was deemed potential winner. Sponsor is not responsible for the failure for any reason whatsoever of a potential winner to receive notification or for the Sponsor to receive a potential winner’s response.
  • Disputes regarding identity of entrant: If the identity of a potential winner is disputed, the entry will be deemed to have been submitted by the individual assigned to the email address entered at the time of entry (“Authorized Account Holder”). Each potential winner may be required to provide proof that he/she is the Authorized Account Holder associated with a selected entry.
