Conditions

By participating, entrants and voters also agree (a) to be bound by these Official Rules; and (b) that the decisions of the Sponsor are final and binding with respect to all matters relating to the Contest. By accepting a prize, each winner agrees that Sponsor may use each winning photograph and each winner's name, photograph, likeness, and/or voice in any publicity or advertising relating to the Contest without further compensation or approval (except where prohibited by law).

The Sponsor reserves the right to verify the validity and originality of any entry and/or entrant (including an entrant's identity and address) and the validity of any voter, and to disqualify any entrant or voter who submits an entry or vote, respectively, that is not in accordance with these Official Rules or who tampers with the entry or voting process. Failure by the Sponsor to enforce any of its rights at any stage does not constitute a waiver of those rights.

Entries void if the Sponsor determines the photograph to not be an original, or if the entries are illegible, incomplete, damaged, irregular, altered, counterfeit, produced in error, obtained through fraud or theft or otherwise non-compliant with these Official Rules.

In such event, no prizes will be awarded. If Sponsor elects to cancel or terminate the Contest under any of the circumstances described above, Sponsor will not retain any rights in the submitted photographs.
