- Winner Determination: After the conclusion of the Contest Period, a panel of qualified judges, determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, will review and score the Submissions received, and will select the 5 entrants with the highest-scoring Submissions (each a “Finalist”) from among all eligible Submissions, based on the following criteria:
Creativity and Originality of Submission, including photo, recipe, and explanation (30%);
Taste of Recipe in Submission (30%);
Fit with Coca-Cola Freestyle brand (20%)
Feasibility of Execution of Recipe Creation on an Actual Coca-Cola Freestyle Machine for the Voting Period (10%);
Quality of Submission including grammar, spelling, and quality of photo (10%)
The entrants whose Submissions received the 5 highest overall scores will be deemed the potential Finalists of this Contest. Each Finalist will be a unique individual, so no one person will have 2 recipes in the Voting Period. In the event of an exact tie in the scores of 2 or more Submissions, the entrant whose Submission received the highest score in the Creativity and Originality of Submission category, as determined by the qualified judges, will be deemed the potential Finalist among the tied Submissions. If they remain tied, Sponsor will compare their scores for Fit with Coca-Cola Freestyle brand. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any potential Finalist if, in its sole discretion, it finds content on his or her social media pages to be inconsistent with the Sponsor’s or the brand’s image (for example, if it is in violation of any of the content restrictions above). Sponsor may review the content posted by potential Finalists on their social accounts to determine if potential Finalists appropriately represent Sponsor’s brand. Due to the nature of the prize offered, if social content reveals that a potential Finalist has engaged in conduct that could damage the reputation of Sponsor or any of the Released Parties, as determined by Sponsor in its discretion, the potential Finalist may be disqualified and Sponsor may select another potential Finalist based on the above judging criteria. Sponsor reserves the right to select fewer than 5 Finalists if, in its sole discretion, it determines that there is not a sufficient quantity or quality of Submissions, if a potential Finalist cannot be contacted or is disqualified for any reason, or any other reason as determined by Sponsor, in its sole discretion.
- Finalist and Winner Requirements: On or around July 2, 2019, the potential Finalists will be contacted via direct or public message by Administrator from @HW_inc or @helloworldinc on his or her social media account on Twitter or on Instagram, depending on method of entry. The potential Finalists will be required to follow the instructions provided in the notification and to take all steps required accept the Finalist opportunity within 48 hours or forfeit the Finalist position/opportunity. If Sponsor decides to review social media accounts of potential Finalists and if that review reveals that a potential Finalist or winner has engaged in conduct that could damage the reputation of Sponsor or any of the Released Parties, as determined by Sponsor in its discretion, Sponsor may disqualify potential Finalist or winner.
Finalists’ Submissions may be featured on Sponsor’s websites and their recipes, which may be altered by Sponsor in any way desired by Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will be added to participating Coca-Cola Freestyle machines for the voting period (the “Voting Period”). Each Finalist’s name, city, state, Submission, photo, recipe may be posted online.
During the Voting Phase, which will begin approximately August 26, 2019 and will end on November 4, 2019, the 5 Finalists’ recipes (which may be altered, as stated above) and which will be named by Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will be available as special features/options on participating Coca-Cola Freestyle machines for the purpose of voting by pouring, to determine the winner of this Contest. At the end of the Voting Period, Sponsor will calculate the volume of each Finalist’s recipe that was poured across all Coca-Cola Freestyle machines during the Voting Period. The Finalist whose recipe was most poured, by volume, will be the potential Grand Prize winner of this Contest. Any action by a Finalist or his/her family member or friend that encourages theft or other unsportsmanlike conduct may result in a Finalist’s disqualification for the Grand Prize, as determined by Sponsor, in its sole discretion. In the event of an exact tie in the volume poured, the Sponsor will rejudge the Content and determine which Finalist had the higher-scoring photo portion of the Submission and he or she will be the winner among the tied Finalists.
The potential Grand Prize winner (or parent/legal guardian if a minor in his or her state of residence) will be notified via email, mail, or phone and will be required to sign and return to Administrator, within 48 hours of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, a Declaration of Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release (“Declaration”) (except where prohibited) including permission to conduct a background check, in order to claim the prize and to fulfill any such other requirements as determined by Administrator. If the potential winner cannot be contacted or fails to take all of the required steps to claim the prize within the stated time period, he/she may be disqualified and forfeit the prize. Due to the nature of the prize offered, if a background check reveals that a potential winner has engaged in conduct that could damage the reputation of or reflect unfavorably on Sponsor or any of the Released Parties, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, the potential winner may be disqualified. If the potential winner forfeits the prize, or is disqualified for any reason, the prize may be offered and/or awarded to a runner-up, if any, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, based on the voting process above. Only up to 3 alternate winners may be determined, after which the prize will remain un-awarded. Acceptance of the prize shall constitute and signify winner’s agreement and consent that Sponsor and its designees may use the winner’s name, city, state, likeness, Submission, photo, recipe, and/or prize information in connection with the Contest for promotional, advertising or other purposes, worldwide, in any and all media now known or hereafter devised, including the Internet, without limitation and without further payment, notification, permission or other consideration, except where prohibited by law.
