  3. To enter without ordering, you may also send a 3x5 postcard (or in an envelope) to: FanFest Giveaway, PO Box 262, Stillwater, MN 55082. Each entrant (sometimes referred to herein as a "contestant") must submit the entry card with name, mailing address, phone number and email address. If entry is submitted in an envelope, no other correspondence or material may be included in the envelope. All entries must be received during the Sweepstakes Entry Period. Failure to submit all required information and submissions in the manner required in these Official Rules may result in disqualification. Entries will not be acknowledged or returned. Proof of submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor. LIMIT: One (1) entry per person in the Sweepstakes.
  4. No entry may contain any content that is offensive or inappropriate, as determined by Sponsor in Sponsor's sole discretion, nor may any entry defame, exploit or invade the publicity rights or privacy of any person or entity, living or deceased, or otherwise infringe upon any person's or entity's personal, intellectual property or other property rights or any other third party rights. Sponsor reserves the right (but shall have no obligation), in its sole discretion, to disqualify any entry Sponsor deems, in whole or in part, to be offensive, inappropriate or that is not in keeping with Sponsor's positive image. Any submission that does not comply with any aspect of these Official Rules may be rejected by Sponsor, and the entrant may be disqualified.
  5. Selection of Winners; Notification; Acceptance back to top ∧
  6. On or after June 20, 2014, Sponsor will randomly select one first prize winner and four runner-up winners from eligible nominee entries. Sponsor will announce the winners on or after June 25, 2014. Odds of winning each prize are dependent upon the number of eligible entries received. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute for any prize an alternate prize of equal or greater value.
  7. Entrants selected as potential winners must comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. Potential winners will be notified by phone or Email. If a potential winner is not present at the time of the call and a telephone message can be left by Sponsor at that time, or if a potential winner is initially contacted via Email, he/she will have forty-eight (48) hours to accept the prize by returning Sponsor's call at the number provided by Sponsor or returning an Email at the Email address provided by Sponsor. The potential winner will be required to execute and return to Sponsor any prize acceptance documents in the form(s) provided by Sponsor in order to claim his/her prize ("Acceptance Documents"). These may include an affidavit of eligibility, a liability release and a publicity release (if and to the extent permitted by law.) The Acceptance Documents must be returned to Sponsor by the date and/or time indicated by Sponsor.
  8. Sponsor will attempt to notify potential winners by phone or Email using the contact information provided with the entry. With respect to each potential winner, if, within forty-eight (48) hours after the time Sponsor first attempts to contact the potential winner, Sponsor has failed to reach the potential winner (whether because Sponsor is unable to leave a phone or Email message, the potential winner has failed to respond to a phone or Email message left by Sponsor, or for any other reason), the entire prize will be forfeited by that potential winner and Sponsor may award the prize to an alternate potential winner selected by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. With respect to each alternate potential winner, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may adjust the above timing and delivery requirements to accommodate Sponsor's Sweepstakes schedule. With respect to each prize, Sponsor reserves the right to refrain from awarding the prize if, by the time scheduled for announcement of winners, there has been no potential winner identified who has complied with all of the requirements for becoming a winner in accordance with these Official Rules.
  9. Sponsor is not responsible for the failure of a potential winner to receive Sponsor's telephone or Email message or the Acceptance Documents for any reason, or for the inability of such potential winner to return Sponsor's telephone or Email message or the Acceptance Documents for any reason. All decisions of Sponsor are final.
