9. GRAND PRIZE SELECTION:

The Winners of the Grand Prizes will be selected using a two-stage process:

  • Selection by Votes: On March 8, 2011, the Sponsor will determine which 100 eligible Submissions received the most votes by the end of the Competition Period. If there are fewer than 100 eligible Submissions, the Sponsor shall select all of the Submissions. In the event of a tie, a random draw will be held between the Submissions with the same number of votes. Odds of being selected as one of the 100 eligible Submissions depend on the number of eligible Submissions received and the number of votes received for a Submission during the Competition.

  • Selection by Judges: Five (5) potential winners will be selected from among the 100 eligible Submissions (see first stage above) by a panel of judges selected by the Sponsor. The criteria used by the judges and the decision of the judges is at their sole and exclusive discretion. Odds of being selected as a potential winner of a Grand Prize are 1 in 100.

Sponsor will attempt to contact each potential winner by mail or telephone within three (3) business days of being selected. If a potential winner (a) cannot be reached by mail or telephone within three (3) business days of being selected; (b) fails to correctly answer the mathematical skill testing question (see below); or (c) fails to return the properly executed Release Form within the specified time (see below), then he/she will be disqualified and another potential winner will be selected from among the 100 eligible Submissions until such time as a Winner is declared or there are no more eligible Submissions. The Sponsor will not be responsible for failed attempts to contact a potential winner.

To be declared a Grand Prize winner, each potential winner (or parent or legal guardian if entrant is under the age of majority) must answer without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a mathematical skill testing question posed by mail or telephone and will be required to sign a Release Form confirming compliance with the Official Competition Rules and Regulations, acceptance of the Grand Prize as awarded, and releasing the Sponsor (and its affiliated and related companies, advertising and promotional agencies, the parties engaged by Sponsor to assist it in administering the Competition and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns) from any liability in connection with the Prize or this Competition. The Release Form must be returned within the time period specified on the Release Form or the Grand Prize will be forfeited.

Winners will be announced by August 31, 2011. Grand Prizes will be arranged by the Sponsor as quickly as possible thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Winner agrees that, given the nature of a Grand Prize, the Sponsor may require a significant amount of time in which to make best efforts to obtain the agreement of the applicable Personality to the Conversation and that therefore the Sponsor may take up to December 31, 2011 to deliver the Grand Prize.
