Any Entry, which in Sponsor's sole judgment contains content, which is inappropriate, lewd, lascivious, immoral, or otherwise unsuitable or unacceptable for the purposes of the Contest and/or publication for any other reason, will not be considered and will be disqualified. Neither Sponsor nor the Administrator is responsible for incomplete, lost, late, misdirected, unintelligible, illegible, postage due, separated, stolen, damaged, returned, or undelivered Entries, mail and email, or for malfunctions of electronic equipment, computer hardware or software, for problems downloading/printing Entry Forms or other material from the applicable web site or other technical problems related to any web site, including without limitation injury or damage to any computer or computer equipment related to or resulting from participation or downloading any materials in the Contest.
The School that submits the most eligible entries per capita [i.e., percentage of eligible entries out of total number of students who are eligible to participate in the Contest as of 10/31/12, as certified by a School official] by the deadline of 12/7/12 will win $1,000 for their school’s art department. The winning School will be announced on or about 3/15/13. Odds of a school winning the $1,000 depend on the number of schools participating in the Contest. In the event of a tie, a random drawing will be conducted between the schools with the most eligible entries per capita (with each tied school receiving one entry in the drawing). Such drawing will be conducted by Administrator on or after 3/15/13.

Such consent shall be deemed a transfer and assignment from Entrant to Sponsor of any and all copyrights and all derivative works of the Entry, including rights for registration and renewal in all jurisdictions; and should the Entrant not be a minor, submission of the Entry shall be deemed a transfer and assignment from Entrant to Sponsor of any and all copyrights and all derivative works of the Entry, including rights for registration and renewal in all jurisdictions. By entering the Contest, Entrant represents and warrants that the Entry does not infringe any copyright, trademark, other intellectual property right, or the rights of privacy or publicity or any other right(s) of any third party. The Entry must not have been entered in any other competition or previously published. This requirement includes submission of the Entry, in whole or in part, in previous years’ editions of the Lucerne® The Art of Dairy™ Contest. Sponsor reserves the right to edit, alter, and modify any and all Entries for publication, distribution, display, or any other purpose in its sole discretion.
6. JUDGING: All eligible Entries will be judged under the direction of Administrator, which is an independent judging organization. Each Entry will be judged on the basis of the following criteria: Originality (30%); Technical Ability (30%); and Relevance to the theme "ImaginDairy Places" (40%) (collectively referred to as the "Criteria"). "Fair use" of intellectual property and individual images will be considered in the judging. Nine (9) eligible Entries with the highest scores will be selected as Regional Finalists ("Finalists"), (one (1) Finalist per Region; the Finalist being the eligible Entry with the highest score from among all eligible Entries in a given Region) subject to eligibility verification by Sponsor and compliance with these Official Rules. The parent or legal guardian of a potential Finalist (or the potential Finalist him/herself, as applicable) will be notified by Sponsor and required to execute and timely return all required documents, as provided in Rule 8 below, or the potential Finalist will be disqualified (and, such disqualification will impact the number of eligible entries submitted by the disqualified person’s school in conjunction with determination of School which wins $1,000 for its art department, as discussed above). Within approximately 2 - 4 weeks after verification of eligibility and receipt of fully executed Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and where lawfully permitted, Publicity Release ("Affidavit and Release") documents, and if applicable, any other document as may be requested by Sponsor, Sponsor will deliver to the Finalist at his or her school a 5’ x 8’ cow sculpture ("the Cow"). Finalists will have the opportunity to replicate the design submitted on their Entry on the Cow. Although different/additional materials may be used to decorate the Cow, the Cow’s overall appearance, design and color must directly and accurately replicate the appearance, design and colors submitted on the original Entry, or it will be disqualified. The School of each Finalist will be provided $275 to be used on behalf of the Finalist for the purchase of art supplies for use in decorating the Cow. Finalists will be required to submit the Finalist Submission Form along with four (4) digital photographs (front, each side and rear view) of their fully decorated, completed Cow ("Finalist Entries") in the pre-addressed Federal Express envelope (provided by Sponsor), to: Finalist Entries, Eighth Annual Lucerne® The Art of Dairy™ "ImaginDairy Places" Art Contest, Alcone Marketing c/o Blue Spark, 150 Allen Road/Lower Level, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920.
