JUDGING; WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION: On or about December 4, 2024, one (1) or more qualified judges selected by Sponsors (“Judges”) will review all eligible Entries received during the Contest Period and select one (1) potential winner (“Winner”) based on the following judging criteria (“Judging Criteria”): Originality (50%), Appropriateness to the Post (25%), and Creativity (25%).

In the event of a tie, the Judges will break the tie by selecting the tied entrant who received the highest points from the Judges for Originality. In the event a tie remains, the tied Entries will be judged by an additional tie-breaking judge, using the Judging Criteria, to determine which of the tied entrants will be the potential Winner.
Decisions of Sponsors and Judges are final and binding with respect to all matters related to the Contest. Winning is subject to verification of eligibility. Sponsors reserve the right to extend the Contest Period if the Contest does not receive a sufficient number of eligible and qualified Entries, as determined by Sponsors in their sole discretion. Sponsors will make two (2) attempts to notify potential Winner via direct message to the Facebook or Instagram account submitted at the time of Entry.

Potential Winner may be required to provide, execute, and return any information or documents as requested by Sponsors, including, without limitation, an affidavit of eligibility, waiver of liability, and, except where prohibited, publicity release (collectively, “Contest Documents”) within three (3) days of such notification. Noncompliance within this time period will result in disqualification. If the potential Winner cannot be reached, is found to be ineligible, cannot or does not comply with the foregoing requirements and these Official Rules, or if Prize (defined below) or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, potential Winner will be disqualified and Sponsors will award the Prize (defined below) to the runner-up based on the Judging Criteria.

All taxes and other expenses, costs, or fees associated with the acceptance and/or use of Prize are the sole responsibility of Winner.
