The Entry cannot contain any content, element, or material that violates a third party's publicity, privacy or intellectual property rights.

Entries generated by script, macro, or other automated means are void. Proof of sending (such as an automated computer receipt confirming entry or a screenshot of the entry) does not constitute proof of actual receipt of an entry.

The Gift Card will be delivered to the winner within two weeks of Sponsor receiving the winner’s signed Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release. The Gift Card prize is subject to all terms, conditions and restrictions stated on the Gift Card and any terms imposed by the issuer. The Name of Honor Prize consists solely of the honor of having a product named after the Nominee (and any physical product Sponsor elects to provide) and no other rights, benefits, royalties, or payments are conferred (such as but not limited to rights to royalties or a share of profits related to sales of the product).
Selection of Winning Entry. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. Selection will be made by a panel of judges designated by Sponsor, based on the following criteria: originality and creativity of the story or description that accompanies the nomination, alignment with Sponsor’s brand values, and adherence to the requirements of these Official Rules. Sponsor reserves the right to select no winning Entry if, in its sole discretion, no suitable Entries are received. The Entrant who submitted the winning Entry may also receive recognition (as described below), but the Contest prize is awarded to the Nominee. In the event of a tie, the tied Entries will be re-judged using the criteria above until the tie is broken.
The first selected Entrant and Nominee will be notified of their winning Entry by email or other reasonable means within 60 days of the end of the Contest Period. Sponsor is not responsible for any change of email address, mailing address, and/or telephone number of Entrants or Nominees. The potential winner will be notified via email. Time is of the essence in awarding the prize. If a potential winning Nominee does not (a) respond within forty-eight (48) hours of the first notification attempt and (b) execute and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release within three (3) business days of receipt of notification of winning (unless extended by Birdy Grey in its sole discretion), or if the notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential winner, such potential winner may forfeit their prize and an alternate winner may be selected. If any potential winner is found to be ineligible, or if they have not complied with these Official Rules, or if they decline to execute and timely return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release or declines the prize for any reason prior to award, such potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected. The prize winner is responsible for all applicable federal, state, local and income taxes associated with winning the prize. Prizes are not transferable and no substitutions are permitted.
