6.    WINNER SELECTION PROCESS (JUDGING – ONE WINNER):

A panel of judges (the “Contest Judges”) appointed by the Sponsor will judge all eligible Entries on the basis of the following weighted criteria:

Each Entry will be given a score (the “Score”) by the Contest Judges. Odds of being selected as the eligible Prize winner depend on the number and calibre of eligible Entries received in accordance with these Rules. The eligible entrant associated with the top Entry based on total Score (as determined by the Contest Judges, in their sole and absolute discretion) will be selected as the eligible Prize winner.  In the event of a tie between two or more eligible Entries based on total Score, the eligible entrant associated with the eligible Entry – from amongst all such eligible Entries that are tied – with the highest score on benefit will be deemed to be the eligible Prize winner.  Judging is scheduled to be completed on or about June 4th, 2012 (the “Selection Date”).

The Sponsor, or its designated representative(s) will make a maximum of three (3) attempts to contact the eligible Prize winner by telephone or email (using the information provided at the time of entry) within 5 business days of the end of the Selection Date.  If the eligible Prize winner cannot be contacted within three (3) attempts or 5 business days as outlined above (whichever occurs first), or if there is a return of any notification as undeliverable; then he/she will be disqualified (and will forfeit all rights to the Prize) and the Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to select an alternate eligible entrant based on the next highest Score in accordance with these Rules to be the eligible Prize winner  (in which case the foregoing provisions of this section shall apply to such new eligible Prize winner).
