In the event of a tie, the Judges will break the tie by selecting the tied entrant who received the highest points from the Judges for Creativity to advance to Round 2. In the event a tie remains, the tied entries will be judged by an additional tie-breaking judge, using the Judging Criteria, to determine which of the tied entrants will advance to Round 2.

Sponsors reserve the right to pick fewer than four (4) Finalists (or none at all) or to extend the Contest Entry Period if the Contest does not receive a sufficient number of eligible and qualified Entries, as determined by Sponsors in their sole discretion.

Potential Finalist(s) may be required as a condition of continued eligibility to execute and return an affidavit of eligibility, release of liability, and, except where prohibited, publicity release (collectively, “Contest Documents”) within two (2) days of such notification.

Sponsors may require and potential Finalist(s) must be willing to voluntarily submit to and complete a background check as a condition of continued eligibility. If the results of such background check are unsatisfactory, as determined in Sponsors' sole discretion, such potential Finalist(s) may be deemed ineligible and will forfeit the Prize. If any potential Finalist cannot be reached, is found to be ineligible, cannot or does not comply with these Official Rules, or does not satisfactorily execute and return all of the Contest Documents, such potential Finalist will be disqualified and time permitting, at Sponsors' sole discretion, an alternate potential Finalist may be selected from the remaining eligible Entries.

Round 2: Judging to Determine the Winner: On or about February 15, 2024, one (1) or more qualified Judges will review all eligible Entries received from the Finalists during the Contest Period and select one (1) potential winning couple (“Winner”) based on the Judging Criteria. The selection and review process may occur on a rolling basis as Entries are received. In the event of a tie, ties will be broken as described with regards to Finalists.

Decisions of Sponsors and Judges are final and binding with respect to all matters related to the Contest. Winning is subject to verification of eligibility. Sponsors reserve the right to select fewer than one (1) Winners (or none at all) or to extend the Contest Period if the Contest does not receive a sufficient number of eligible and qualified Entries, as determined by Sponsors in their sole discretion. Sponsors will make two (2) attempts to notify potential Winner at the phone number and/or email address submitted at the time of Entry. Sponsors may share potential Winner’s name and contact information with Contest Entities and/or Prize Provider, as applicable, if necessary. Potential Winner(s) may be required to execute and return the Contest Documents within two (2) days of such notification. Noncompliance within this time period will result in disqualification, and, at Sponsors' sole discretion an alternate potential Winner may be selected from the remaining eligible Entries based on the Judging Criteria.
