On the final day of the Promotion Period, the Judges will select the Grand Prize Pack winner from amongst all eligible entries received throughout the entire Promotion Period. The judging will be conducted on an anonymous basis (i.e. Judges will not know the identity of the person having submitted the entry). The criteria that will be used by the Judges to determine the Daily Prize Pack Winners are: creativity, humour, originality and innovation. Equal weight will be assigned to each judging factor. This Contest is a game of skill. The odds of winning a prize will depend upon the total number and calibre of eligible entries received.
