  7. JUDGING/WINNER DETERMINATION: After the end of the Contest Period, a panel of qualified judges, selected by the Sponsor in its sole discretion, will score each Submission up to the maximum number of points allowed. Judges will review and judge all eligible Submissions based on the following judging criteria (“Judging Criteria”):
     
    • Creative Storytelling (30%)
    • Originality and Uniqueness of Submission (30%)
    • Relevance to the Topic (20%)
    • Emotional Appeal of Submission (10%)
    • Demonstration of Being in Need of a Break (10%)

    Submissions that do not contain all required entry information or are considered inappropriate for any reason are not eligible. The highest-scored Submission will be deemed the potential grand prize winner. In the event of a tie between 2 or more Submissions, the tie will be broken by comparing the scores for Originality and Uniqueness. If a tie remains, the tie will be broken by comparing the scores for Emotional Appeal. In the unlikely event that a tie still remains, an additional “tie-breaking” judge appointed by the Sponsor shall be brought in to evaluate the tied Submissions, based on the Judging Criteria above. Sponsor reserves the right not to award the prize if, in its sole discretion, it does not receive a sufficient number of eligible and qualified Submissions. Prize award is subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. Judges’ decisions are final and binding. 
     
  8. WINNER NOTIFICATION/PRIZE CLAIMING: The potential winner will be notified using the information provided during entry by email or telephone (method to be selected by Sponsor in its sole discretion) in a commercially reasonable time after selection of the potential winner. The Contest Parties are not responsible for false, incorrect, changed, incomplete or illegible contact information. Notification is deemed to have occurred immediately upon sending of an email or placing of a phone call. As part of the winner notification process, the potential winner may be required to complete and submit a prize redemption form (“Redemption Form”) and the potential Grand Prize winner will be required to complete and submit a declaration of eligibility/liability release, and a publicity release (collectively, the “Declaration”) within two (2) days as a condition of receiving a prize. If the potential winner fails or refuses to sign and return the Redemption Form or Declaration within the required time or if the Redemption Form or Declaration is returned as rejected, faulty, unclaimed or returned as undeliverable to the potential winner, potential winner may be disqualified and an alternate may be selected using the judging process above, up to three (3) alternates, if time permits, after which the prize will remain un-awarded. P.O. Boxes are not permitted. The Contest Parties are not responsible for electronic communications that are undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind, or insufficient space in entrant’s email or other account to receive messages. Non-compliance shall result in disqualification and award to an alternate winner. 

    Parents or legal guardians of a Grand Prize winner under the age of majority in their state/province/jurisdiction of residence (which is eighteen (18) in most states and some provinces but is nineteen (19) in Alabama and Nebraska and many provinces in Canada, and twenty-one (21) in Mississippi) may be required to also sign the Declaration in order for the prize winner to be qualified to receive his or her prize.  

    A potential winner becomes a “winner” only after verification of eligibility by Sponsor. If a potential winner cannot be contacted within 48 hours, if the potential winner is ineligible, if any notification is returned undeliverable, or if the potential winner otherwise fails to fully comply with these Official Rules, he/she will forfeit that prize and an alternate winner may be selected from among all remaining entries repeating the process identified above, if time permits. No more than the stated prize will be awarded. If, for any reason, more bona fide winners come forward seeking to claim prizes in excess of the prize set forth in these Official Rules, the winner of the advertised prize available may be selected in a similar judging manner from among all persons making purportedly valid claims for such prize. Inclusion in such process shall be each entrant’s sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances. The Contest Parties are not responsible for and shall not be liable for late, lost, damaged, intercepted, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts to notify the potential winner.

In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a “Demand for Arbitration”, then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in the State of Pennsylvania. The federal or state law that applies to these Official Rules will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Pennsylvania. Sponsor agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of entrant to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court.

ENTRY INFORMATION AND CONTEST COMMUNICATIONS: As a condition of entering the Contest, each entrant gives consent for Sponsor to obtain and deliver winner’s name, address, photograph, and certain other personal information described herein to third parties for the purpose of administering this Contest, as permitted under or as may be required to comply with applicable laws, regulations and rules, and/or for other purposes with the entrant’s consent. The value of your data is the value of the offer presented to you, and you can unsubscribe at any time. Any personal information entrant provides to Sponsor may be used to communicate with entrant in relation to this Contest or on a Contest winner list.

  18. DATES & DEADLINES/ANTICIPATED NUMBER OF ENTRANTS: Because of the unique nature and scope of the Contest, Sponsor reserves the right, in addition to those other rights reserved herein, to modify any date(s) or deadline(s) set forth in these Official Rules or otherwise governing the Contest. Sponsor cannot accurately predict the number of entrants who will participate in the Contest. 
     
  19. FURTHER DOCUMENTATION: If Sponsor desire to secure additional documents as Sponsor may reasonably require in order to effectuate the purposes and intents of these Official Rules, then entrant agrees to sign those documents upon Sponsor’s request.
     
  20. MISCELLANEOUS: The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules or the Declaration will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision of the Official Rules or the Declaration is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that provision. Entrants agree to waive any rights to claim ambiguity of these Official Rules. Headings are solely for convenience of reference and will not be deemed to affect in any manner the meaning or intent of the documents or any provision hereof. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Contest-related materials, privacy policy or terms of use on any website, social media platform or application and/or the terms and conditions of the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail, govern and control and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
