Void where prohibited. 

HOW TO ENTER

An Entrant may enter the Contest by visiting the Lightning Labels Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/lightninglabels (the “Website”), completing the online entry form and submitting a Submission (as defined below) (each, an “Entry”).  All Entries must be received by 11:59:00 p.m. ET on July 1, 2017 to be eligible. Lightning Labels will not verify receipt of Entries. Lightning Labels reserves the right to examine the original photograph/source material in order to confirm adherence to the Official Rules.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Submissions for the Contest must consist of a digital photograph of a product with a label printed by Lightning Labels on it (collectively, the “Submissions, and each, a “Submission”).  The label depicted in the Submission must have been printed by Lightning Labels on or after January 1, 2014, and must be an actual product with a product label that was printed by Lightning Labels on it, not just artwork depicting such a label.  The Submission should not contain any material, elements or property that are not owned by the Entrant or Entrant’s company or organization, and/or which are subject to the rights of third parties, and no persons should appear in the photograph.  The Submission must be two (2) megabytes or smaller, RBG color, JPEG or .jpg format, and at least 800 pixels wide (if horizontal image) or 800 pixels tall (if vertical image).  An Entrant may make only minimal alterations to the image (cropping, burning, dodging and/or color correction), which shall be determined in Lightning Label’s sole discretion.  Any Submission which depicts a label printed by Lightning Labels that has been modified or changed from the original design as printed by Lightning Labels will automatically disqualify the Submission.

There is no limit on the number of entries each Entrant may submit. However, each photograph entered requires the full completion and submission of a separate entry form.  All Entries must comply with the requirements set forth in these Official Rules (the "Requirements").  All photographs must be submitted in digital format.  Only online Entries made via the Lightning Labels Facebook page are eligible. No print or film submissions will be accepted.

In the event of a dispute as to any online entry, the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter will be deemed to be the Entrant.

By entering the Contest, Entrant represents, warrants and acknowledges that (i) the Submission is an original work created solely by Entrant; (ii) Entrant owns all rights to the Submission and it does not and shall not infringe on the copyrights, trademarks, rights of privacy/publicity or other intellectual property or proprietary rights of any person or entity; and (iii) no other party has any right, title, claim, or interest in the photograph and product label image.  

Lightning Labels reserves the right to disqualify any Entrant that violates the aforementioned conditions.

If any person appearing in any photograph is under the age of majority in their state/province/territory of residence, the signature of a parent or legal guardian is required on releases and consents for each submitted image.

Upon Lightning Labels' request, each Entrant must provide (within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of Lightning Labels' request) a signed release from all persons who appear in the Submission, and/or from the owner of any material, element or property that appears in the Submission, authorizing Lightning Labels and its licensees ("Authorized Parties") to reproduce, distribute, display, and create derivative works of the entry in connection with the Contest and promotion of the Contest, in any media now or in the future. All releases must be in the form provided by Lightning Labels. Failure to provide required releases within the time prescribed will result in ineligibility at any time during the Contest and result in the selection of an alternate winner.
