b. Selection of Entry Winners

The Campaign Details Pages for each Campaign will set forth the number of winning places for which Members are competing against one another. Those places with respect to any Campaign will be considered "in the money" for purposes of these Official Rules. A team of qualified judges selected by the Sponsor, including a head judge for each Campaign (the "Head Judge"), will select from the eligible Entries based on certain factors determined by the Sponsor. Without limiting the preceding sentence, and in addition to any factors that may be separately stated on the Campaign Details Pages for a Campaign, the judging criteria for any Campaign (or phase of any Campaign) shall be: (1) viability of the Entry as a premise for the final objective of the Campaign (e.g., commercial advertisement, music video, how-to-video, etc.); (2) creativity; and (3) effectiveness in promotion of the brand that is the subject of such Campaign. The Entries with the highest rankings from the judges for such Campaign are referred to in these Official Rules as the "Entry Finalists," and will be eligible, subject to the other provisions of these Official Rules, to receive the prize designated for such place of finish in the money on the Campaign Details Pages for such Campaign. In the case of a tie, the tie will be broken by the ranking of the Head Judge based the judging criteria. If multiple Entries in a Campaign are substantially similar to one another, as determined by the judges for such Campaign, the Entry that was first submitted to AudPop will be judged, and all other substantially similar Entries will be rejected. All decisions of the judges are final.

AudPop will post the name of each of the Members responsible for submitting the Entry Finalists (each, a "Finalist Member") on the Campaign Details Pages for such Campaign and such Member's "Dashboard" page promptly after the close of the Entry Period. Each Finalist Member must complete, sign and submit a Winner Affidavit of Eligibility & Release, a AudPop Intellectual Property Rights Assignment, and the relevant release forms (all of which are available for download from the Website) (collectively, the "Winner Forms") to AudPop within five (5) business days after the completion of the final phase of such Campaign as a condition to receiving any prize in connection with such Member's winning Entry. AudPop shall have no obligation to pay any prize to any Finalist Member in the event that such Finalist Member fails to timely submit the Winner Forms to AudPop.

Any Finalist Member whose Entry is the basis of a winning Entry in any subsequent phase of a Campaign may, subject to such Member's timely submission of the Winner Forms described in the immediately preceding paragraph, receive an additional prize for each winning entry that is based upon such Finalist Member's Entry. For example, and without limiting any provision of these Official Rules, if a Member submits a winning Entry in an "Idea" phase of a Campaign, which is used by another Member in a subsequent phase of the same Campaign to create a winning Entry in a "Pitch" or "Video" phase of the same Campaign, as long as such Member timely submits the Winner Forms as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, in addition to receiving a prize for submitting a winning Entry in the "Idea" phase of the Campaign, such Member may receive a prize for each winning Entry (e.g., a winning "Pitch" Phase Entry and/or winning "Video" Phase Entry) that was based on such Member's "Idea" Phase Entry.

See the Campaign Details Pages for each Campaign for further details on the payment of prizes to Members.

c. Exhibition Viewing

If AudPop and the Sponsor agree that a Campaign (or phase thereof) will have an exhibition viewing component, then all valid entries for such Campaign (or phase thereof), i.e., all entries that satisfy the eligibility criteria stated in these Official Rules, will be posted for the public (ages thirteen or older) to view at the Website during the "Exhibition Viewing" phase of a Campaign (the "Exhibition Viewing Period"). Being viewed during the Exhibition Viewing Period in accordance with the on-screen instructions for such phase of a Campaign will be a factor in determining the exhibition viewing winner (the "Exhibition Viewing Winner"). See the Campaign Details Pages for each Campaign to determine whether there is an Exhibition Viewing Period for such Campaign and to view the specific rules related to the Campaign. Any Member that engages in or is suspected of engaging in vote farming, vote exchanges, or any other form of vote manipulation, will be disqualified at AudPop or Sponsor's discretion.

If applicable, AudPop will post the name of the Exhibition Viewing Winners on the Campaign Details Pages for such Campaign and such Member's "My AudPop" page promptly after the close of the Exhibition Viewing Period. Each Exhibition Viewing Winner must complete, sign and submit Winner Forms (as defined above) to AudPop prior to the completion of the Video Phase of such Campaign as a condition to receiving any prize in connection with such Member's Entry. AudPop shall have no obligation to pay any prize to any Exhibition Viewing Winner in the event that such Exhibition Viewing Winner fails to timely submit the Winner Forms to AudPop.
