Through on-screen instructions you will be asked to provide information including your first and last name, date of birth, gender, email address and geographic country location of Kelsey Timmerman in the photograph displayed on sweepstakes site (“Sweepstakes Photograph”). You can enter once a day during the Promotion Period.

LIMIT: one entry per person per day. Entries in excess of this limit will be void. All entries must be received online during the Promotion Period. All entries become the exclusive property of Sweepstakes Sponsor, and none will be acknowledged or returned. Proof of sending or submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible entries, which will be disqualified. Use of any automated system to submit entries is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to any online entry, the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.

Drawings: The Grand Prize Drawing will be conducted in accordance with these Official Rules on or about January 10, 2010.  The random drawing will be conducted from amongst all eligible entries received who have submitted the correct location of the sweepstakes photograph in accordance with these Official Rules by Sponsor, whose decisions as to the administration of the Sweepstakes and the selection of potential winners are final and binding. Entrant selected must comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. The potential winner will be notified by email. Potential winner must accept a prize within three business days of notification by email and if receipt of such email is not confirmed by Sponsor within three business days, potential winner must contact Sponsor at the telephone number indicated in the notification email. Any winner notification not responded to or returned as undeliverable may result in prize forfeiture and an alternate potential winner will be selected from the remaining eligible entries. The potential prize winner may be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release within 10 days of notification. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, prize is returned as undeliverable, or fails to sign and return the affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release within the required time period, potential winner forfeits prize. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award his/her prize to an alternate potential winner. Only three alternate potential winners will be selected after which the prize will remain unawarded. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.
