b. Selection of Entry Winners
A panel of Sponsor representatives and a team of qualified judges selected by AudPop and Sponsor (“Judges”), including a head judge for the Contest (the "Head Judge"), will select from the eligible Entries based on the following factors:

Creativity – 33%
Technical merit – 33%
Committed to the topic of climate change/sustainability – 34%

Upon submission, all Entries are initially screened on AudPop.com by AudPop account management team and Entries that are deemed ineligible pursuant to these Official Rules will not be allowed to compete in the Contest. Accepted Entries will compete in the film challenge which is comprised of two voting rounds. The top five (5) Entries will be selected by a qualified panel of Sponsor representatives (based on the judging criteria). From among these final five Entries, the Judges will select one (1) Grand Prize Winner, one (1) Runner-Up Winner, and three (3) Honorable Mention Winners.

The five final Entries selected by the panel of Sponsor representatives are sometimes referred to in these Official Rules as the "Contest Finalists," and will be eligible, subject to the other provisions of these Official Rules, to receive the prize designated for such place of finish for the Contest. In the case of a tie, the Entry with the highest score in the “Creativity” category will be selected. If multiple Entries in the Contest are substantially similar to one another, as determined by the judges, the Entry that was first submitted first in time will be judged, and all other substantially similar Entries will be rejected. All decisions of the Judges are final.

AudPop will post the name of each Contest Finalist on https://audpop.com/pattrn/pattrnearthfilmchallenge promptly after the close of the Entry Period. Each Contest Finalist must complete, sign and submit a Winner Affidavit of Eligibility & Release, an Intellectual Property Rights Assignment, and the relevant release forms (all of which are available for download from the Website) (collectively, the "Winner Forms") to AudPop within five (5) business days after announcement of the Contest Finalists. Completing and submitting all Winner Forms is a condition to winning any Contest prize.

The odds of winning any prize depends on the number of eligible Entries received.

SECTION 3: PRIZES
The Grand Prize Winner will receive a one-time cash prize in the amount of $10,000. The Runner Up Winner will receive a one-time cash prize in the amount of $3,500: Each Honorable Mention Winner will receive a one-time cash prize in the amount of $1,000. Each winner is solely responsible for any applicable taxes and any unspecified expenses or costs associated with a prize or with redeeming a prize. Sponsor is not responsible for any prizes that are lost, stolen or misplaced. Sponsor may substitute for any prize, or any portion thereof, cash or another item of approximately comparable or greater value if a prize, or any portion thereof, becomes unavailable for any reason. In the event that a prize cannot be awarded for any reason or a winner is not capable of redeeming a prize for any reason, Sponsor may award the prize to another eligible Entrant in accordance with the judging criteria set forth in Section 2(b), and as determined by Sponsor or the Judges in their sole and absolute discretion.
