Once the Potential Winner completes the Clearance Process (including submitting a fully completed Affidavit of Eligibility and Release) the Potential Winner will be named the winner (“Winner”). The Potential Winner will have 24 hours to respond in order to be deemed the Winner. The Winner’s Entry may be made available for public viewing via the Artist’s Official Website at any time after the Winner’s Entry is selected, in Sponsor’s sole discretion. In connection therewith, no amounts or other consideration shall be due to Entrant for any exploitation of the Winner’s Entry. The Winners will be awarded their respective Prizes (described below). NO ENTRANT WILL BE DEEMED TO BE A WINNER, OR WILL BE AWARDED ANY PRIZE, UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH ENTRANT'S ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN VERIFIED BY SPONSOR IN ITS DISCRETION, ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT SUCH VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE, AND ENTRANT HAS COMPLIED WITH ANY SPONSOR REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE SET FORTH IN SECTION 2(b) BELOW). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sponsor reserves the right to select less than one Potential Winner if there is not a sufficient number of Entries that meet the Entry requirements as determined in Sponsor’s sole discretion. As such, Sponsor reserves the right to not award any prize if, in its sole and absolute discretion, it does not receive a sufficient number of eligible and/or qualified Entries. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, contact each Potential Winner and require any such Potential Winner to submit to a background check to help ensure that such Potential Winner's continued participation in the Contest will not, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, damage the Contest or otherwise reflect adversely on the Contest Entities; require such Potential Winner to answer additional questions or participate in additional screening procedures; require such Potential Winner to sign consent forms, releases; and/or disqualify any Potential Winner who is unable or unwilling to do or provide any of the foregoing (“Clearance Process”). Without limiting the foregoing and only if applicable, each Potential Winner who is a minor in his or her state of residence will be required to have his or her parent or legal guardian affirm in writing such Potential Winner's acknowledgement and agreement to the Official Rules, in order to continue to participate in the Contest. Sponsor reserves the right to provide an independent third party (the "Auditing Entity") with all Entries submitted by each Potential Winner in order that such Auditing Entity may examine such Entries and confirm, subject to its and Sponsor's discretion, that the Entries comply with these Official Rules. In the event that any Potential Winner elects to end his or her participation in the Contest, is unable to participate further in the Contest for any reason, or is, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, deemed to be ineligible to participate, Sponsor reserves the right to select alternate Potential Winner(s) in its sole discretion. b.
