  • How Winners will be Determined

First Round

After the Promotion Period, a panel of judges selected by Sponsor will evaluate all Submissions and select ten (10) finalists (each a “Finalist”) based on the following judging criteria (the “Judging Criteria”): (a) 50% based on originality and (b) 50% based on quality of creativity. The Entrants with the ten (10) highest scoring Submissions, as determined by the Sponsor’s judging panel, will be the Finalists. The Finalists will be selected on or around December 1, 2020. In the event of a tie, ties will be broken based on the originality criterion score, and if a tie still remains, the tie will be broken based on the quality of creativity score. 

Second Round

Public Voting Period: Each Finalist’s Submission will be posted to KiCam Projects’ YouTube channel and voted on by the KiCam Projects community. The public voting period for Finalists will be from 10:00 a.m. ET on December 1, 2020, until 10:00 a.m. ET on December 22, 2020 (the “Voting Period”). However, by posting a notice to such effect on the Website, Sponsor reserves the right to modify the Voting Period, without liability of any kind.  At the conclusion of the Voting Period, a point total for each Finalist will be assigned based on the number of “likes” received. The point totals will be determined from as follows (the “Public Voting Score”): The Submission (or Submissions, in the event of a tie) that receives the highest number of likes will receive all ten points (10) points; the Submission with second highest number of likes will receive nine (9) points, and so on, with the Submission with the lowest number of likes receiving one (1) point.

Finalist’s entry into the Promotion constitutes permission for the Sponsor to post Finalist’s Submission on Sponsor’s YouTube Page, in perpetuity, without further compensation. 

Finalists are prohibited from soliciting likes, and viewers are prohibited from soliciting likes on behalf of Finalists, by any fraudulent or inappropriate means, including, without limitation, offering prizes, payments or other inducements to members of the public (including, without limitation, offering to trade votes), as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, and all associated likes may be void and such Finalists disqualified. All results are unofficial until verified by Sponsor. Viewers may only like a Submission once per day.

Grand Prize Winner Selection: Following the Voting Period, a second panel of judges from the KiCam editorial team will evaluate the Finalists’ Submissions using the Judging Criteria. Then, one (1) Grand Prize Winner (the “Grand Prize Winner”) will be selected based on the following: (a) 10% based on the Public Voting Score; and (b) 90% based on the Judging Criteria, as scored by the Second Round judges. The highest scoring Finalist will be the Grand Prize Winner. In the event of a tie, ties will be broken based on the First Round score.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Finalists who do not become the Grand Prize Winner will not receive any prize in the Promotion.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Official Rules, if at any time during the Promotion Period, the judging rounds or at any time thereafter, the Sponsor determines that no eligible entrants exist from which to determine a Finalist, Grand Prize Winner, then Sponsor may in its sole and exclusive discretion determine that no eligible contestants exist, and then may either suspend or terminate the Promotion or modify it (or any parts thereof) in any equitable manner that Sponsor deems appropriate in its sole and exclusive discretion, including, without limitation, by not awarding any one or more of the prizes set forth in these Official Rules.

  • Prize Conditions: The Grand Prize Winner will be notified by e-mail on or around January 1, 2021. The Grand Prize Winner (and/or their parent/legal guardian if a Minor) may be required to sign an affidavit of eligibility and release of liability and publicity (where permitted), and return same, properly executed, within five (5) days of issuance of prize notification. If Sponsor is unable to contact a Grand Prize Winner within three (3) days from first notification attempt, if the Grand Prize Winner fails to complete and return all requested forms by the specified date, or if the Grand Prize Winner fails to comply with any of the requirements, his/her prize will be forfeited and an alternate prospective winner shall be selected by selecting the next-highest scoring Submission.

Should the Promotion be terminated prior to the stated expiration date, notice will be posted on the Website.
