A Submitter may submit several videos, provided that each submission concerns a different person.
Important Note: Winners are randomly selected through a draw conducted among the participating Nominees for whom a Submitter has submitted a video, and not based on the selection criteria of the Nominees. To be eligible for the draw, the submitted content must comply with the described criteria.
A participant’s chances of winning depend on the number of videos validly submitted for the contest conferring a valid entry in a given region in accordance herewith.
To claim their prize, winners must correctly answer a basic arithmetic question applying the order of operations (e.g.: (10 x 3) – 5 = 25).
