Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by you to obtain more than five (5) entries per Category using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations or logins, or any other methods, may void your entries and you may be disqualified from the Promotion. Any use of robotic, repetitive, automatic, programmed or similar entry methods or agents (including, but not limited to, contest entry services) will void all entries by you. 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. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address.

7. How Winners will be Determined:

First Round: After the Promotion Period, the Genius Kitchen editorial/culinary team will evaluate all Eligible Submissions and select up to ten (10) nominees (each, a “Nominee”) for each of the six (6) Categories based on the following judging criteria: (a) 40% on the appropriate representation of the Category; (b) 30% based on the innovation and creativity; and (c) 30% on overall execution (the “Judging Criteria”). The timing of the selection of Nominees shall be at a time to be determined by the Sponsor. If you are selected as a prospective Nominee, you may be required to execute and return releases and additional documentation supplied by Sponsor in accordance with Sponsor’s instructions or such prospective Nominee will be disqualified.

For each Category, the Entrants with the ten (10) highest scoring Submissions will be the nominees (the “Nominees”). In the event of a tie, ties will be broken based on the appropriate representation of the Category criteria score. If a tie still remains, the tie will be broken based on the creativity score. Sponsor’s decisions with respect to the Nominees and other matters pertaining to the Promotion shall be final. Entrants may be Nominees in multiple Categories, but cannot be a Finalist (as defined below) or a Category Winner (as defined below) in multiple Categories.

Additionally, the three (3) highest scoring Nominees from each Category will advance to the Second Round as Finalists (each a “Finalist”). The Finalists will be announced on or around September 4, 2018.

The Nominees’ and Finalists’ Submissions may be reproduced and promoted by Sponsor and posted to a public gallery or featured in a video or other promotional media on the Genius Kitchen website and elsewhere. Entrants acknowledge and agree that minor variations to the recipe and presentation of the dish may occur during this process and Sponsor assumes no liability for any such variations.

Second Round:

Public Voting Period: The Finalists in each Category will then be posted online at the Website for public voting from 9:00 a.m. on September 4, 2018 through 5:00 p.m. on September 25, 2018 (“Voting Period”). At the conclusion of the Voting Period, a point total for each Finalist will be assigned based on the number of votes received. The point totals will be determined from as follows (the “Public Voting Score”): The Submission (or Submissions, in the event of a tie) that receives the highest number of votes in each Category will receive all twenty five points (25) points; the Submission (plus ties) with the next-highest vote count will receive fifteen (15) points; the Submission with the next-highest vote count will receive ten (10) points.

Finalists are prohibited from soliciting votes, and voters are prohibited from soliciting votes on behalf of Finalists, by any fraudulent or inappropriate means, including, without limitation, offering prizes, payments or other inducements to members of the public (including, without limitation, offering to trade votes), as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, and all associated votes may be void and such Nominees disqualified. All results are unofficial until verified by Sponsor. Voters may vote only one per day, per Category.

Winner Selection: Following the Voting Period, three members from the Genius Kitchen team selected by Sponsor will re-create the Finalists’ Submissions and evaluate all Finalists using the Judging Criteria. Then, one (1) winner from each Category (each a “Category Winner”) will be selected based on the following: (a) 25% based on the Public Voting Score; and (b) 75% based on the Judging Criteria, as scored by the Second Round judges. In the event of a tie, ties will be broken based on the Public Voting Score and if a tie still remains, the tie will be broken based on the appropriate representation of Category criterion score, and if a tie still remains, the tie will be broken based on the creativity score.

The highest scoring Finalist from each Category will be a Category Winner. Sponsor’s decisions with respect to the Category Winners and other matters pertaining to the Promotion shall be final. The Category Winners will be announced on or around September 27, 2018.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Official Rules, if at any time during the Promotion Period, the judging rounds or at any time thereafter, the Sponsor determines that no eligible entrants exist from which to determine a Nominee, Finalist or Category Winner, then Sponsor may in its sole and exclusive discretion determine that no eligible contestants exist, and then may either suspend or terminate the Promotion or modify it (or any parts thereof) in any equitable manner that Sponsor deems appropriate in its sole and exclusive discretion, including, without limitation, by not awarding any one or more of the prizes set forth in these Official Rules.

8. Prize Conditions: The Category Winners may be required to sign an affidavit of eligibility and release of liability and publicity (where permitted), and return same, properly executed, within five (5) days of issuance of prize notification. If Sponsor is unable to contact a Category Winner within three (3) days from first notification attempt, if a Category Winner fails to complete and return all requested forms by the specified date, or if a Category Winner fails to comply with any of the requirements, his/her prize will be forfeited and an alternate prospective winner shall be selected by selecting the next-highest scoring Submission.

Prior to selection of the Category Winners, Entrants and/or their Submissions may be featured on the Website and/or the Gallery; however, in no way shall such promotion influence the selection of the Category Winners. The Category Winners will be notified by email, telephone, and/or overnight mail delivery on or around September 27, 2018, to be determined by Sponsor.
