To be eligible to win, entrants must have celebrated a wedding or anniversary and taken a honeymoon or honeymoon-style vacation any time in the last 20 years. Eligibility will be verified by the Administrator using submission materials, internal records and publicly available data. Entrants who cannot be verified as meeting this requirement at the time of winner selection will be disqualified, and an alternate winner will be selected.

WINNER SELECTION & NOTIFICATION

On or about August 3, 2026, the Administrator will select one winner from among all eligible entries received throughout the entry period. The winner will not be selected at random. Entries will be evaluated by a panel of judges selected by the Administrator based on the following criteria:

Judging Criteria

Criterion Weight Description
Originality of Honeymoon Story 40% The uniqueness, authenticity, and creativity of the couple’s honeymoon story, including how engagingly it is told and whether it offers a memorable perspective or experience.
Emotional Resonance 20% The extent to which the entry creates an emotional connection through the couple’s story, reflecting genuine experiences, meaningful moments, and the impact of the honeymoon on the couple.
Visual Quality of Submitted Videos and Photos 20% The overall quality, clarity, composition, and storytelling value of the submitted video and/or photographs, including whether the content is compelling and suitable for promotional use by the Sponsor. Professional production quality is not required.
Storytelling Quality 20% How clearly, cohesively, and engagingly the entry communicates the couple’s honeymoon experience through its written responses and supporting visual content.

In the event of a tie, the judging panel will conduct a second review of the tied entries and the entry receiving the highest combined score across all criteria will be selected as the winner. If a tie cannot be resolved through re-evaluation, the Administrator reserves the right to make a final determination at its sole discretion. The Administrator will attempt to notify the potential Contest winner via direct message and/or email on or about August 3, 2026. If the potential winner does not reply or cannot be contacted within five (5) days after the date of the first attempt to contact him/her, the Administrator may select an alternate potential winner in his/her place from the remaining non-winning, eligible entries. Only three (3) alternate prize winners will be selected, after which the prize will remain un-awarded. The potential winner(s) will be notified by direct message and/or email. The potential Prize winner (parent/legal guardian if a minor in his/her state of residence) will be required to complete identity verification and complete, electronically sign and submit a Declaration of Compliance within five (5) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim his/her prize. Failure to complete identity verification or failure to submit the Declaration of Compliance within the required time period (if applicable), or if prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize. If the potential winner is at least 18 but still considered a minor in his/her jurisdiction of residence, Administrator reserves the right to award the prize in the name of his/her parent or legal guardian, who will be required to sign the Declaration of Compliance on the potential winner’s behalf and fulfill any other requirements imposed on winner set forth herein.

Potential winner must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Administrator will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded.
