1. Contest Winners, Prize and Winner Notification. Three (3) Registered Participants who have submitted a complete entry prior to the end of the Contest Period will be chosen by a panel of employees of Sponsor at its sole discretion.  Each entry shall be judged based upon the following criteria: Creativity (35%), Emotional Conveyance (30%), Uniqueness/Originality (20%), and Complexity (7.5%), Skill (7.5%).  The judging panel shall consist of one member of each of the following Sponsor Departments: Community, Creative, Marketing, Quality Assurance, and one Director (collectively the “Judges”).  One (1) grand prize winner will receive an Amazon gift card with stated value of One Thousand Five Hundred US Dollars (US$1,500.00).  One (1) second prize winner will receive an Amazon gift card with a stated value of Seven Hundred Fifty US Dollars  (US$750.00).  One (1) third prize winner will receive an Amazon gift card with a stated value of Five Hundred US Dollars ($500.00).  The odds of winning depend upon the number of eligible entries received and the relative skill of the entrants. The decision of Sponsor and the Judges is final and binding with respect to all matters related to the contest. 

Winners will be notified at the email address provided by the Participant in their Grey Box Account (“Notification”).  To claim a prize, winners should follow the instructions contained in their Notification.  Allow two (2) weeks for delivery of prizes.  Prizes that are not collected and/or activated within any time limitations provided by Sponsor will be considered expired and are not collectable. 

If a winner does not respond to the Notification within seventy-two (72) hours of the initial Notification, Sponsor may choose another third-place winner and the applicable remaining winners shall be moved accordingly.  For example, if the grand prize winner does not respond to the Notification within seventy-two (72) hours of the initial Notification, the second-place winner becomes the grand prize winner, the third-place winner becomes the second-place winner, and the fourth highest scoring entry will become the new third-place winner.
