    Babcox Media, Inc. (“Sponsor”) is offering the Online Sweepstakes (“Sweepstakes”). NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. A PURCHASE DOES NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING. Sweepstakes may only be entered in or from the 50 United States and the District of Columbia and entries originating from any other jurisdiction are not eligible for entry. This Sweepstakes is governed exclusively by the laws of the United States. You are not authorized to participate in the Sweepstakes if you are not located within the 50 United States or the District of Columbia.

  1. How to Enter
    Complete the Sweepstakes and submit electronically by including your guess along with your full name, email address, phone number, job title, shop name, and full address. Limit one entry per Sweepstakes per person, per email address. More than one entry of any Sweepstakes from any person or email address will void all entries from that person or email address. Entrants must have a valid email address. Sponsor may also ask optional questions. Completion of these questions is not required to enter the Sweepstakes. No automated entry devices and/or programs permitted. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, illegible, stolen, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, misdirected, technically corrupted or garbled entries, which will be disqualified, or for problems of any kind whether mechanical, human, or electronic. Proof of submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor.

  1. Drawing
    A random drawing will be held from the names of all persons who submit a correct entry. Two (2) winners will be selected from all eligible entries received by Sponsor, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to the Sweepstakes. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. Potential winner(s) will be notified by e-mail or mail within two weeks of the end date of the Sweepstakes. Each entrant selected as a potential winner must comply with all terms and conditions set forth in these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all such requirements.

  1. Prizes
    Each of the two (2) winners will receive a prize of USD $50. Sponsors make no warranties with regard to the prizes. Prizes are not transferable. No substitutions of prize allowed by winner(s), but Sponsors reserve the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value due to prize unavailability. All taxes, fees and surcharges on prizes are the sole responsibility of winner.

  1. Conditions
    By participating, entrants and winners agree to release and hold harmless Sponsors, and their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, advertising and promotions agencies, partners, representatives, agents, successors, assigns, employees, officers and directors, from any and all liability, for loss, harm, damage, injury, cost or expense whatsoever including without limitation, property damage, personal injury and/or death which may occur in connection with, preparation for, travel to, or participation in Sweepstakes, or possession, acceptance and/or use or misuse of prize or participation in any Sweepstakes-related activity and for any claims based on publicity rights, defamation or invasion of privacy and merchandise delivery. Each Sweepstakes winner agrees their full name and shop name will be used in announcements posted each month on the corresponding Babcox Media eNewsletters and website.

  1. Miscellaneous
