3. Selection of Winners

One (1) Grand Prize winner will be chosen based on popular vote by the FPgirls eligible to vote from among all eligible entries submitted during each of the three Promotion Periods (as seen above) for a total of three (3) Grand Prize winners. FPgirls will vote based on the following criteria:

(i) Artistic merit - artistic skills and use of colors and images; (ii) creativity and originality - creative use of the FP virtual items, as well as the unique and novel approach to the design; (iii) communication of the Promotion theme in the design - how well the entrant uses virtual items to style their scene.

User voting restrictions: Users may vote for multiple designs on a daily basis, but they can only vote once per design, per day.

In the event of a tie, the tied entries will be re-submitted to a panel of judges consisting of Fashion Playtes employees for a re-judging between the tied entries alone.

The selections will be administered by representatives of The Sponsor, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to this Promotion.

The Grand Prize winner/s will be notified by e-mail on the following dates and will be given instructions on how to claim their prize (if a tangible prize is available during that Promotion Period). Upon e-mail notification, the winner's legal parent/guardian will be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility and liability release (and, where permitted, a publicity release) within five (5) business days of notification or prize will be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner.

Upon each round's completion, entries will be removed, and the next round will begin. Winning submissions will be presented on the contest page.
