Winner Determination: At the end of the Entry Period, on our around September 9, 2021, the Judges will judge eligible Entries received to determine the best 150 eligible Entries based on the following judging criteria: creativity (⅓), originality (⅓), relevance to Lyft (e.g. how taking a Lyft would have benefitted you) (⅓) (each, a “Winning Entry”). Subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms of these Official Rules, the eligible Entrants that submit Winning Entries, as determined by the Judges, will be declared the official winners of the Contest (the “Winner”). Sponsor will send a direct message from @lyft to each potential winner’s relevant social media account (the account with which they submitted the Entry) with instructions on how to claim the Prize. In the event of a tie, Sponsor will choose the best Entry in Sponsor’s sole discretion.
Potential Winner Requirements: Except where prohibited, a potential winner may be required to complete and return an affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release. If the Sponsor does not already have one on file, each potential winner may be required to sign and return to the Sponsor a completed Form W 9 (“W-9”) for tax reporting purposes, in order to claim his/her Prize. If a potential winner fails to sign and return these documents within the required time period, an alternate potential winner may be selected in his/her place in a random drawing of all remaining entries received. If the potential winner fails to respond within 24 hours or if the notification is returned as undeliverable or fails to reach the potential winner for any reason, the potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected at Sponsor’s sole discretion, who will be subject to disqualification in the same manner.
