7. Judging: One (1) winner will be selected from among all eligible Entries received and recorded during a given Entry Period/Event City. (Entries will be NOT retained for any subsequent Entry Periods/Event Cities, as applicable.) For each Entry Period/Event City, eligible entries will be judged by a panel of judges ("Judging Panel") as determined by Sponsor based on the three (3) following equally weighted criteria: (i) Originality of video submission in answering Contest question; (ii) Emotional impact of Video; and (iii) Overall suitability of Video submission to be used for promotional purposes. The judges will take into account the age and educational level (grade) of Entrants in evaluating Videos as well as whether the content of Videos was in Spanish or English. The one (1) Video with the highest score (for each Entry Period/Event City) will be deemed the Grand Prize Winner for that Entry Period/Event City. In the event of a tie after calculating the cumulative judges’ scores, the following will be the tie-breaking procedure: the Entry from among all such tied entries with the higher/highest score in the "Overall suitability of Video submission to be used for promotional purposes" criterion will be considered the Winner. In the event a tie remains, an additional judge of the Sponsor’s choosing will be brought in to reevaluate the tied Entries. Should a winner have the highest score for subsequent Entry Periods/Event Cities, such winner’s Entry will be disqualified from such subsequent Entry Periods/Event Cities to enforce the limit of one (1) prize per person as discussed below. Decisions of the Administrator, the Judging Panel and any additional judges (as applicable) are final and binding in all respects. The results of judging are confidential information and proprietary to Sponsor; and, by entering the Contest, Entrant (if a minor, his/her parent or legal guardian) expressly waives any right to review or inspect such judging results .

 

8. Winner Notification & Requirements: Potential winners (if a minor, his/her parent or legal guardian) will be notified by e-mail and/or phone on/or about two (2) business days following the conclusion of the applicable Entry Period/Event City. In order to remain eligible, potential winners (if a minor, his/her parent or legal guardian) will be required to sign and return within two (2) days of receipt (or such shorter time period as indicated on the notification), an Affidavit of Eligibility, Release and Indemnification, a Publicity Release where allowed by law, a Grant of Rights and Release, proof of enrollment in high school and GPA of at least 2.5, as well as other documents that Sponsor may require (collectively, "Prize Claim Documents''). If a potential winner does not reply to such notification with all required materials within two (2) days of receipt (or such shorter time period as indicated on the notification), if an e-mail notification is undeliverable after up to two (2) attempts, if the Prize Claim Documents required by Sponsor or Administrator are not signed and returned to Sponsor within two (2) days of receipt (or such shorter time period as indicated on the notification), if a winning Entrant is ineligible or disqualified for any reason, or if a prize is not claimed or accepted for any reason, Entrant may be disqualified and an alternate winner will be selected, i.e., the Entrant with the next highest score from the Judges in the applicable Entry Period/Event City (time permitting). Each potential winner (if a minor, his/her parent or legal guardian) agrees that a facsimile copy of such documents shall have the same legal effect as the originals; but, winner must provide original documents to Sponsor and/or its agency prior to issuance of prize (if requested by Sponsor and/or Administrator). In the event of any dispute concerning the identity of any Entrant, Sponsor/Administrator shall determine in their sole discretion the identity of the Entrant.

 

Sponsor may, but is in no way obligated to, announce the winners and/or conduct a prize award presentation ceremony at the Ford Copita Alianza Youth Tournament in the corresponding Event City; however, should Sponsor not proceed with such announcement and/or ceremony for any reason, Sponsor will not have any liability to winner for corresponding Entry Period/Event City (or, if a minor, his/her parent or legal guardian) under any legal theory. Award of prize is NOT contingent upon winner attending the Ford Copita Alianza Youth Tournament in any Event City. Should Sponsor choose to do so, winner (or, if a minor, his/her parent or legal guardian) agrees to follow any and all instructions of Sponsor, including appearing at the indicated area at the designated time, as well as conducting him/herself at all times in an respectful, courteous and well-behaved manner.
