8. Winner Selection

Regardless of what communication may take place between Sponsor and Entrant, no Entrant is a winner unless and until the verification procedure, described below, is completed in full.

(a) Contest: There will be two (2) stages in selecting the Contest winner: Finalist selection and Grand Prize Winner selection. 

Ten (10) Finalists will be selected based upon rankings by members of the general public (“Raters”).  Raters may access the Web Site without registering, and may view any Submission that has been posted to it.  Upon viewing a Submission, Raters will be given the option to rate that Submissions on a scale of 1 to 5 (five being the highest, most favorable rating).  Raters may rate as many Submissions as they like, but may rate any individual Submission only one (1) time.  Ratings for any individual Submission may begin as soon as the Submission is posted to the Web Site by Sponsor.  No rating for any Submission will be accepted after 11:59:59 pm EDT on August 8, 2008.

The ten (10) Submissions receiving the highest total rating will be deemed Finalists, and will proceed to the second stage of selection.  In the event that there is a tie in the highest rating for the 10th Finalist spot, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to add additional Finalist spots, or select the 10th Finalist from amongst those Submissions tied for the 10th Finalist spot based on the judging criteria used by the judges to judge Submissions in the second phase.

Once the Finalists have been identified, their Submissions will be judged by a panel of qualified judges comprised of representatives from the Sponsor (“Judges”).  The judges will base their decisions on the following judging criteria:

·         Originality & Creativity – 50%

·         Appropriate portrayal of DIBS Brand snacking assignment – 35%

·         Suitability for use in an advertisement – 15%

The Potential Grand Prize Winner will be determined by combining the overall rating given to the Submission by the Raters (50%), and the score given to the Submission by the Judges (50%). In the event of a tie, the Contest Winner will be the Submission that received the highest judging score from among all tied Submissions.

(b) Sweepstakes: There will be twenty-four (24) to twenty-five (25) randomly selected prizes awarded each day throughout the promotion.  Each day, random, computer-generated winning times will be pre-selected for each Instant Sweepstakes prize selected for that day’s prizes.  If you are the first player to play the Sweepstakes at or after one of the randomly-generated times, you will be the potential winner of the prize indicated.  An Entrant is not a winner of any prize, even if the Sweepstakes should so indicate, unless and until Entrant’s eligibility and the selection has been verified and Entrant has been notified that verification is complete.  Sponsor will not accept screen shots or other evidence of winning in lieu of its validation process.  Any play that occurs after the system has failed for any reason is deemed a defective play, is void and will not be honored.

9. Verification

All selected potential winners must comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and all winnings are contingent upon fulfilling all requirements.  Sponsor’s decisions as to the administration and operation of the Promotion and the selection of potential winners are final and binding in all matters.  Each potential prize winner (or parent/legal guardian if winner is a minor in his/her state of residence) will be required to sign and return to Sponsor, within fourteen (14) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and Publicity Release in order to claim his/her prize and fulfill any such other requirements as determined by Sponsor.  If any potential winner cannot be contacted, or fails to sign and return the Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and Publicity Release within the required time period (if applicable), he/she forfeits prize.  In the event that a potential winner of any prize is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining Eligible Entries.  There will be two (2) alternate drawings, after which the applicable prize will remain un-awarded.  Prizes will be fulfilled approximately eight (8) to ten (10) weeks after the conclusion of the Promotion.  Any portion of any prize not accepted by winner shall be forfeited.  Upon forfeiture for any reason as stated herein, no compensation shall be given.  Prizes will only be delivered to street addresses within the 50 United States and the District of Columbia.
