2.   ELIGIBILITY:  To be eligible to nominate a baby, his/her parent or legal guardian must be age 21 or older and a legal U.S. resident at the time of entry.  The nominated baby must be no more than twelve (12) months of age at the time of entry with no more than four (4) teeth.  Employees of Sponsor, Hunter Public Relations, competitors of Sponsor, and its and their affiliates, subsidiaries, franchises, agents, representatives, advertising and promotion agencies and fulfillment companies, and their immediate families (parents, children, siblings, spouse) and members of their same households (whether related or not) are not eligible to participate.

 

Entry into this Sweepstakes constitutes permission for Sponsor to use each baby’s name, image/likeness and biographical material as well as his/her Photo (as defined below) for any purpose whatsoever without compensation or further permission, including but not limited to an irrevocable and perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide right, in all media (now known or later developed) to assign, use, publish, edit, adapt, modify, alter, reproduce, distribute, broadcast, display, copyright, create derivative works or otherwise exploit the photo, for commercial or non-commercial use, and without compensation to the entrant.  By submitting a photo, the entrant waives any and all rights he or she may have to the photo.  To the extent entrant has any rights in the photo, the entrant assigns all such rights to the Sponsor by submitting the photo.

 

3.   HOW TO ENTER:  To submit one (1) digital photo of your baby twelve (12) months of age or younger with his/her first tooth/teeth prominently displayed (“Photo”), visit http://www.orajel.com/babyphotocontest/index.asp and access the Sweepstakes entry page.  Complete the online entry form, being sure to include (a) baby’s first name, (b) baby’s age, (c) parent or legal guardian’s full name, address, e-mail address and phone number, and any other requested information.  Then follow the directions on how to upload the Photo of your baby.  Submit your entry so that it is received by Sponsor’s server by 6:00 PM EDT on March 31, 2010.  Note that while submitting a Photo is required for entry, the Photo will not be judged nor will it be used to determine the Sweepstakes semi-finalists.  The Photo may be in color or black and white, must be only in GIF (.gif) or JPEG (.jpg) format and may not exceed a file size of 4 megabytes.  Files exceeding the maximum size will not be accepted.  Twins, triplets and other multiples may be entered but will be considered one entry for purposes of this Sweepstakes.  Limit one (1) entry per baby (or per set of twins/triplets, etc. if applicable).  The term “baby” shall refer to a single child or collectively to twins, triplets or other multiples, as applicable.  Multiple entries received for the same baby will result in disqualification of all entries received for that baby.

 

Photos must (a) be original, non-published works and cannot have been taken by a professional photographer, (b) have been taken within two (2) months of entry to qualify, and (c) be the sole property of entrant and entrant must have all rights to reproduce and distribute the Photo submitted.  For the avoidance of doubt, entrant must own or have the right to convey any and all right, title and interest in and to the Photo as more fully set forth in paragraph 7 below.  Submitting a photo that is copyrighted by another individual will make you responsible for any legal action the legal copyright holder might take against you.  Entrants must be able to supply additional photo(s) upon request.

Additional Submission Guidelines:

·    Photo must not have been submitted previously in a promotion of any kind or exhibited or displayed publicly though any means.

All entries become Sponsor’s property and will not be returned.  Neither Sponsor nor Hunter Public Relations will be responsible for lost, late, illegible, incomplete, misdirected, damaged, destroyed or mutilated entries or postage due mail, or for errors, omissions, interruptions, deletions, defects, delays in operations or transmissions, theft, destruction, unauthorized access to or alterations of entry materials or failures in transmission of e-mail entries.  Parents/legal guardians and babies shall not receive any compensation or credit for use of a Photo other than that disclosed in these Official Rules.

 

4.   WINNER SELECTION & NOTIFICATION:  On or about April 2, 2010, Promotion Mechanics, Inc., an independent organization, will conduct a random drawing from among all eligible entries received to select ten (10) potential semi-finalists.  Potential semi-finalists will be notified by e-mail and/or phone immediately following the random drawing.  As a condition of officially being named a semi-finalist and claiming a prize, the potential semi-finalist (i.e., parent/legal guardian who nominated the baby in the Photo) must sign and return, within seventy-two (72) hours of delivery to such entrant’s email address identified on the entry submitted by the baby’s parent or legal guardian, an affidavit of eligibility, release of liability and, if legally permissible, publicity form and/or other documentation as required by Sponsor.  Inability to contact a potential semi-finalist within two (2) days from the first attempted notification and/or the return of any documentation as undeliverable will result in the prize being forfeited and an alternate potential semi-finalist will be selected at random from the remaining eligible entries.

 

Three (3) finalists will be selected from among the semi-finalists based upon the results of the popular vote.  The online public vote will take place at http://www.orajel.com/babyphotocontest/index.asp (“Site”) during a two week period beginning at 8:00 AM EDT on or about Tuesday, April 6, 2010 and ending at 6:00 PM EDT on or about Tuesday, April 20, 2010 (“Voting Period”).  The semi-finalist Photos will be posted on the Site during the Voting Period and voters will be asked to vote for their favorite Photo.  Limit one (1) vote per person/e-mail address per day during the public voting period.  Votes generated by script, macro or other automated means will be void.  Only persons at least thirteen (13) years of age will be eligible to vote during the Voting Period.  The three (3) Photos with the highest number of eligible votes during the Voting Period will be determined to be finalists and the Photo with the most votes among the finalists will be deemed to be the Grand Prize winner.  In the event of a tie, a random drawing will be conducted to determine which Photo among the tied finalists is the Grand Prize winner.

 

Decisions of Sponsor and the independent organization are final in all matters relating to this Sweepstakes and are not open to appeal.  The Grand Prize winner and Runners-up will be notified by phone and/or e-mail on or about April 21, 2010.  If a finalist fails to respond within forty-eight (48) hours of notification, or if such finalist or finalists are found to be ineligible, an alternate finalist may be selected.  A list of the winners will be posted on the Site on or about April 26, 2010.

 

5.   PRIZES:  The following prizes will be awarded:  one (1) Grand Prize consisting of $1,000 cash, and two (2) Runner-up prizes, each consisting of $500 cash.  Prizes will be awarded in the form of a check made payable to the winner.  Total approximate retail value (ARV) of the Grand Prize: $1,000.  Total ARV of the Runner-up prizes is valued at $1,000 ($500 each).  Total overall approximate retail prize value:  $2,000.  All prizes are subject to the restrictions set forth in these Official Rules.
