Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of votes/entries or submit more than the stated number of Photos by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's votes/entries/Photos and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification of entrant's Photo and/or invalidation of entrant's votes. For Photo: In the event of a dispute as to any Photo, the person who submitted the registration will be deemed the creator of the Photo and will receive the Sweepstakes entry. In the event that two (2) or more Photos are submitted by two (2) or more entrants using the same email address, then the Photo created by the authorized account holder of the email address used to submit the Photo will be entered into the Contest and Sweepstakes, and the other Photos will be disqualified.

6. Winner Determination:

Contest: Contest winners will be selected according to the process set forth below:

1. Judging Phase: During Judging Phase (see Section 4 for specific dates), qualified judges (the "Judges"), whose decisions as to the administration of this Contest and the selection of the winners are final and binding in all matters, will select from amongst all eligible Photos received during the Submission Phase one Grand Prize winner, using the following criteria (the "Judging Criteria"):
   • 50% creativity;
   • 50% quality
   
   
2. Voting Phase: During the Voting Phase (see Section 4 for specific dates), ENTRIES will be posted at http://www.e85challenge.com. Each individual who meets the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 1 will be invited to vote for the ENTRY that he/she believes is best. Limit: Each participant may vote one (1) time per day during the Voting Phase. The one (1) ENTRY that receives the highest number of votes will win the Most Voted Award. In case of a tie, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will select the ENTRY from the tied ENTRIES based on an application of the Judging Criteria set forth in Section 6(a)(i), above.
   
   
3. Sweepstakes: Administrator is an independent judging organization whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and the selection of the potential Sweepstakes winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Administrator will randomly select the potential Sweepstakes winners, from all eligible entries received during the Weekly Entry Period. Non-winning entries will carry over into drawings for subsequent Weekly Entry Periods. Potential Sweepstakes winners will be notified the week following the respective drawing date.
   
   
4. Winner Requirements: Potential winners will be notified by email, mail or phone on or around the dates set forth in Section 6. The Grand Prize and Most Voted Award winners will be required to sign and return to Administrator an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability & Publicity Release (the "Affidavit") within ten (10) calendar days of notification. If any potential winner cannot be contacted, or fails to sign and return the applicable Affidavit within the required time period (if applicable), he/she forfeits the applicable prize and his/her Photo(s) will be disqualified from further consideration. Failure to comply with these requirements and or the Official Rules for any reason, return of prize notification or prize as un-deliverable or disqualification of any winner for any reason will result in forfeiture of applicable prize. If a potential Contest Prize winner forfeits a prize or is disqualified for any reason, the Judges will select the ENTRY whose Photo received the next highest score, and/or whose Photo received the next highest number of votes during the Voting Phase as an alternate potential winner. If a potential Sweepstakes winner forfeits a prize or is disqualified for any reason, Administrator will select from all eligible entries received during all Weekly Entry Periods an alternate potential winner. This course of action may continue until the particular prize is won and claimed, or for up to three (3) alternates (after which the applicable prize will remain un-awarded), whichever occurs first (if time permits). Acceptance of any prize shall constitute and signify the winner's agreement and consent to Sponsor use of the winner's name, city, state, country, likeness, photo, Photo and/or prize information in connection with the Promotion or with respect to Sponsor's brand, products, ad campaigns, worldwide, including the Internet, without limitation and without further payment or consideration, except where prohibited by law.
