WINNER SELECTION: All eligible entries received will be evaluated by Administrator, an independent judging organization, with Administrator choosing the two (2) finalist entries (i.e., Videos) on or about March 22, 2006. Administrator will use the following criteria in judging entries: Persuasiveness, believability, creativity, originality and relevance to theme. In the event of a tie, one or both of the two (2) finalist entries will be determined based on which entry receives the higher/highest score in persuasiveness. The two (2) finalist entries will then be independently evaluated anew by Josh “Chop” Towbin, a professional car dealer (“Chop”). Chop will not consult or otherwise rely upon Administrator’s judging in evaluating the two (2) finalist entries. Chop will use the same criteria (including the tie-breaker, if necessary) as stated above to choose the Grand Prize winner from the two (2) finalist entries. The finalist not chosen as the Grand Prize winner will win the First Prize. Any public voting of the entries on-line and/or on-air is for entertainment purposes only and will have no effect on determining the winners in this contest. Grand Prize and First Prize winners will be notified by phone on or after March 24, 2006 and announced on-line and/or on-air during a forthcoming episode of “King of Cars”.
