JUDGING: On or about June 24, 2022, all Submissions will be reviewed by the Sponsor or a Sponsor representative for compliance with these Official Rules (including the Submission requirements). Immediately thereafter, the eligible Submissions received will be judged and scored based on the following criteria: (34%) Creativity; (33%) Originality; and (33%) Presentation.

Each Submission will, for each of the above-described criteria, be scored with a raw score between 1-5 (with 5 being the highest). For each Submission, after a (1-5) score has been determined for each criterion, each raw score will be “weighted”, taking into account the relative percentages shown above (in parentheses, next to each criterion). The “total score” for each scored Submission will be the total score of all of the above criteria (taking into account the above-described “weighting”).

The Submission having the highest “total score” will be deemed the prize-winning Submission. In the event of a tie, an additional judge will score each tied Submission (pursuant to the procedures described above) and the Submission with the highest total score pursuant to that subsequent scoring will be deemed the respective prize winner. In the event of a further tie, Sponsor (as applicable) shall, in their sole discretion, choose a prize winner (as applicable) based on its evaluation of which Submission is superior overall, taking the entire judging criteria into consideration. The potential prize winner will be notified by the Sponsor via direct message to his/her Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or YouTube account within one (1) to three (3) business days from the date in which the judging is complete. Potential prize winner will be required to supply his/her email address and shipping address for delivery of the respective prize, and must comply with all requirements, and complete all required documents to be hired as Sponsor’s Summer Intern. Sponsor will only make two (2) attempts to reach the potential prize winner via direct message within a seventy-two (72) hour time frame. In the event the Sponsor cannot reach the potential prize winner after two (2) attempts have been made, the original potential prize winner will be disqualified and an alternate prize winner (selected via the judging criteria outlined above) will be notified until the correct number of prize winners are confirmed.

Prize will be shipped within four (4) weeks or less from the date in which prize winner is determined and verified via the prize claim process. The name of the prize winner may also be posted on Sponsor’s website and/or social media channels.

If a potential Grand Prize Winner fails to return the Required Documents within the time-period required, or if the email is returned as undeliverable, such potential prize winner forfeits his/her right to the respective prize and an alternate will be notified as outlined in the WINNING/NOTIFICATION section above, even if the disqualified potential Grand Prize Winner’s name may have been publicly announced.  Potential Grand Prize Winner must report income to the IRS.  In the event it is deemed during the verification process that the potential Grand Prize Winner does not have a unique, personal and valid social security number for Sponsor to report the tax liability associated with acceptance of the respective prize, such potential Grand Prize Winner will be disqualified and an alternate will be notified as outlined above.  Valid social security numbers will be determined by IRS requirements. If it is determined by the Sponsor/Independent Administrator, in their sole discretion, that a potential Grand Prize Winner is not eligible or otherwise not in compliance with these Official Rules, the potential Grand Prize Winner forfeits his/her right to the respective prize and an alternate will be notified as outlined in the WINNING/NOTIFICATION section above, even if the disqualified potential Grand Prize Winner’s name may have been publicly announced.  In the event a potential Grand Prize Winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor/Independent Administrator shall have no liability or obligation to such individual.
