Community members may have an opportunity to vote for their favorite participating Halloween house.
Community voting is intended to provide community input and will be considered as one factor in determining the winning entry.
The Organizer may establish reasonable voting procedures, including limitations on the number of votes that may be submitted by an individual, household, account, or other method.
The Organizer reserves the right to reject or remove votes that it reasonably determines to be fraudulent, automated, duplicated, manipulated, or otherwise inconsistent with the Contest rules.
Community voting does not independently determine the winner.
Receiving the most community votes does not guarantee that an entry will win the Grand Prize.
The winning Halloween house will be determined based on a combination of community voting and sponsor/judging input.
The following factors may be considered:
The Contest's designated sponsors/judges will review the eligible entries and community voting results when determining the winner.
The final determination of the Contest winner will be made by the designated sponsors/judging panel, and their decision will be final.
Community votes are an important part of the Contest and will be considered during the winner selection process. However, community votes do not automatically determine the winner.
The sponsors/judging panel may select a winner other than the entry receiving the highest number of community votes when, in their judgment, another eligible entry better satisfies the Contest's judging criteria.
All winner selection decisions are final, subject to applicable law.
One eligible winning entry will receive a $1,000 cash prize.
