5. Contest Winner Selection.
Entries that comply with these Official Rules will be evaluated by a qualified panel of judges selected by the Administrator who will evaluate each Entry based on the following judging criteria of the submissions:

Makes you smile/Playfulness (25%);
Creativity and Originality (25%);
Captures an “honest” moment (25%); and
Expressiveness of the child (25%).

Each Entry will be evaluated based on the stated criteria (see above) and assigned a numerical score of one to ten by each judge, where one is the lowest and ten is the highest an entry can receive. An aggregate score will then be created based on the sum of the separate judges’ numerical scores. The one (1) Entry with the highest score will be deemed the potential winner. In case of a tied score between two or more entries that would determine a winner, tied entries will be evaluated by a new judge (as chosen by the Administrator), according to the original criteria, and the tied Entry with highest cumulative score by the new judge will be declared the potential winner.
The potential winner will be contacted by the Sponsors using the email address or phone number used to enter the Contest. Failure by Entrant to respond to the initial verification within 48 hours of notification may result in disqualification, and Sponsors may, at their discretion, select an alternate winner the Entry with the next highest cumulative judge score. Odds of winning a Prize depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Contest Entry Period.
