NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN: Void where prohibited or restricted by law.  Purchase of [COMPANY] products or services does not enhance chances of winning. Open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 21 years of age or older and are members of [COMPANY’S] community (each, a “Member”) as of the commencement of this promotion (the “Promotion”).  Employees, officers, agents, or directors of [COMPANY] or any of its affiliates or promotional partners (including the immediate relatives and/or those living in the same household as any such individuals) are not eligible to participate.  Registration begins at [XX:XX] AM Eastern Time on [DATE] and ends at [XX:XX] PM Eastern Time on [DATE].  Each person is eligible to win only one prize through the Promotion, and may only enter the Promotion if such Member has not already won a different [COMPANY] promotion (or other promotion created or run by an affiliate or partner of [COMPANY]) during this calendar year (if any).  Winners will be contacted via the e-mail address associated with his or her [COMPANY] Member account, so any such Member must ensure that his or her account is up-to date and includes a valid e-mail address. Failure to provide a valid and current e-mail address may result in a winner’s forfeiture of the prize. Additionally, [COMPANY] is not responsible for electronic communications that are undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind, insufficient space in the Member’s e-mail account, and/or any other failure.

Judging: 

[COMPANY’S] designated representative(s) (each, a “Judge” and collectively, the “Judges”) will rank each entry received based on a scale of one (1) to ten (10), the latter being the best, for each of the following categories: (a) Style, i.e., submitted entry’s overall appeal; (b) Messaging Communication, i.e., how well the submitted entry communicates the applicable subject matter; and (c) Visual Appearance/Marketability, i.e., would the Member’s entry appeal to the community’s audience in general.

The entrant with the highest cumulative score (subject to eligibility verification) will be deemed a potential winner.  In the event of a tie, the tied participants with the highest scores in the Style category will be selected as the final winners (and if these scores are also tied, the final winners will be determined by the Judges in the following manner: [INSERT DESCRIPTION OF TIE-BREAKER CRITERIA]).  Decisions made by the Judges shall be final and binding in all respects and are therefore, non-appealable.
