The Finalist whose entry receives the second highest number of valid votes during the Voting Phase will be deemed the potential Second Place winner. The Finalist whose entry receives the third highest number of valid votes during the Voting Phase will be deemed the potential Third Place winner.   

c.        In the event of a tie, the entrant whose Entry received the highest score for Originality, as determined by the qualified judges, in their sole discretion, will be deemed the potential Grand Prize winner.  Sponsor reserves the right to select fewer than 12 Finalists if, in its sole discretion, it does not receive a sufficient number of eligible and qualified Entries.

6.   Notification:  The potential winners will be notified by Twitter Direct Message or Facebook Message on or about September 30, 2017. Except where prohibited, each potential winner will be required to sign and return a Declaration of Eligibility and Release of Publicity and Liability, which must be received by Sponsor, within ten (10) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim his/her prize.  If any potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and/or return the Declaration of Eligibility and Release of Publicity and Liability within the required time period, refuses the prize, is ineligible to win the prize, or prize is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits prize.  Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules; all prizes claimed in accordance with these Official Rules will be awarded. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified or the prize is forfeited for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner using the skill-based criteria set forth above from among all remaining eligible Entries.  Only three (3) alternative winners will be selected, after which Sponsor retains the discretion to donate the applicable prize to a charity of Sponsor’s choosing.
