25th Anniversary Display Contest

Gaynor Minden 25th Anniversary Store Display Contest Official Rules

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.

  1. Eligibility: The Gaynor Minden 25th Anniversary Store Display Contest (“Contest”) is open only to existing Gaynor Minden, Inc. (“Sponsor”) wholesale accounts worldwide. These accounts must have purchased products from Gaynor Minden prior to the start date of the contest. All applicable federal, state and local laws apply. By participating, you agree to be bound by these Official Rules (“Rules”). Void where prohibited.
  2. Entry Period:  The Contest begins at 12:00:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (“EST”) on 05/01/2018 and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. EST on 05/11/2018 (the “Contest Period”).
  3. How to Enter: During the Contest Period, login to Instagram or Facebook (accounts are free) and upload/post your original photo of your Gaynor Minden-themed display (“Theme”). When you post your photo, you must include the hashtag #GMTurns25StoreDisplayContest and you must tag Gaynor Minden using the @gaynorminden tag. Only photos with the hashtag and the correct Gaynor Minden tag can be counted as entries. Your Instagram account must be set to “Public” so the judges can see your photo. Once your post is complete, please send the link to your post to [email protected]. Proof of submission is not proof of receipt. Entries will not be acknowledged or returned. If any person(s) appear in your photo other than yourself, you must have permission from them for use of their image as set forth in these Official Rules. No responsibility is assumed for illegible, lost, late, damaged, incomplete, misdirected, or stolen entries, or for any failure or delay in any electronic communications.
  4. Photo/Post Requirements: Photos and posts must comply with Instagram and Facebook’s technical requirements and must: (a) be the exclusive original work of the entrant; (b) be in keeping with the Sponsor’s image, our Image Usage Policy [dancer.com/imageusagepolicy], and the Gaynor Minden Terms of Use Policy, (c) not defame or invade publicity rights or privacy of any person, living or deceased, or otherwise infringe upon the rights of any person or entity, including but not limited to copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity, (d) not contain any commercial/corporate advertising, including but not limited to corporate logos, brand names, and slogans other than the Sponsor’s, (e) not depict any conduct or content that is unsafe, immoral, obscene or otherwise inappropriate as determined by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion; and (f) not have been submitted in any other Contest or won any prize.
  5. Publicity/Usage Rights: By entering, you warrant and represent that all required third-party releases (if any) have been obtained in writing, and you further agree acknowledge and agree that Sponsor (and those acting with its authorization) may copy, reproduce, edit, broadcast and otherwise use your photo/post in any way in any medium whether now existing or later discovered, worldwide, in perpetuity, including but not limited to posting on Sponsor’s website or on Sponsor’s social media pages.  Photos posted in connection with the Contest may or may not be posted online in Sponsor’s discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to remove or reject any content it deems inappropriate for any reason. Sponsor reserves the right to delete or blur any inappropriate content from a photo/Post without disqualifying the entry where, in Sponsor’s determination, such change does not materially alter the submission and the entrant has otherwise attempted in good faith to comply with these Official Rules. Except where prohibited, participation in the Contest and/or receipt or use of any prize further constitutes the winning store(s)’s consent for use of its name, likeness, employees’ voices, opinions, and/or statements, store history, and/or city and state for promotional or advertising purposes in any media, worldwide, now known or hereafter developed, in perpetuity, without further review, notification, payment, or consideration (unless prohibited by law).
  6. Winner Selection and Notification:  All eligible photos will be judged by a panel of judges using the following criteria: Creativity/Originality; Expression of the Theme; Photo Quality; and Appropriateness to Sponsor’s image; and Public Appeal (the number of likes and comments on Instagram may be considered by the judges, in their discretion, as one factor in assessing this criterion). Judges’ decisions are final and binding on all matters relating to the Contest.
  7. Winners will be notified on May 25th via email. Judges’ decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to this Contest. If a potential winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules or declines a prize for any reason prior to award, such potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected.
