Instagram Entries, TikTok Entries, Webform Entries and Mailed Entries will be collectively referred to as “Entry” or “Entries”.
Entrant must have a public Instagram account to enter via Instagram. Entrant must have a public TikTok account to enter via TikTok. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder of the Instagram, TikTok or account associated with the Entry (if applicable or requested by Sponsor). All Entries must be completed and submitted during the Contest Entry Period to be eligible to win. The person uploading or mailing in the Entry will be deemed the Entrant. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an Entrant, the authorized account holder of the Instagram, TikTok, or email address on the Webform Entry or Mailed Entry at the time of Entry will be deemed the Entrant. "Authorized account holder" of an Instagram or TikTok Entry, or email address (for Webform Entries and Mailed Entries) is defined as the person who is responsible for joining the applicable site and who manages the email address associated with the Instagram or TikTok account, or the email address (for Webform Entries and Mailed Entries) account itself. The "authorized account holder" of an email address is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Any Entry must be complete and comply with these Rules to be eligible. Sponsor has the sole discretion to determine whether an Entry meets all Rule requirements and qualifies as an Entry. Any Entry not in compliance with the above, and which does not meet the requirements of these Official Rules, may be disqualified in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Participation is subject to disqualification of all Entries, if multiple social media or email accounts are used by the same person. Internet/phone access and usage/data charges imposed by Entrants’ online/mobile service may apply.
From time to time during the Contest, Sponsor may feature Entries on its Website, in Sponsor’s social media pages and channels, and/or in Sponsor’s emails (“Featured Entry”), in Sponsor's sole discretion. Being selected as a Featured Entry is unrelated to the Contest Judging and does not guarantee selection as a Winner in the Contest nor does it entitle the Featured Entrants to any compensation or prize.
