4. Judging; Winner Selection Criteria.
Following the close of the Entry Period, a judging panel comprised of Sponsor’s VP of Brand and Creative Director (the “Judges”) will review the Entries and Design Entries. Design Entries will be reviewed and assessed based on a holistic assessment of the following criteria: creativity, uniqueness, innovative thinking, imaginative thinking, and alignment with the Bubble Beauty brand (although incorporation of Bubble Beauty products, symbols, or logos is not required and will not increase chances of winning). All aspects of Design Entries will be considered in the judging process.
Any Entrants that make any contact with any Judge concerting the Contest or their Design Entries will be automatically disqualified.
Based on their holistic consideration of all criteria set forth above, in their sole discretion, the Judges will select five (5) Design Entries as winners of the Contest on or about January 17, 2025.
