of www.youtube.com (“Eligible Entrants”). To become a Registered User of the

agencies associated with this promotion are ineligible to enter.
4. Contest commences 12/08/2010 and final entries close and must be received by

5/10/2010 (“Winner Notification Date”). Winners’ names may be published on
www.youtube.com.au and/or www.vodafone.com.au. The Promoter’s decision is final
and no correspondence will be entered into. An entry is deemed to be received at the
time of its receipt by the Promoter and not at the time of transmission by the entrant.
5. This is a game of skill and chance plays no part in the determination of winners. Each
entry will be individually judged by a panel of judges selected in the Promoter’s sole
discretion (“Judging Panel”). Each Eligible Video Submission will be judged according
to its merits on the basis of the following criteria: Creativity and Difficulty (25%),
Entertainment Value (50%), Overall Impression (25%) (collectively, the “Judging
Criteria”) as determined by the Promoter in its sole discretion. The Promoter will
select up to 10 of the best Eligible Video Submissions based on the Judging Criteria
(“Final Entries”). The Judging Panel’s decision is final and no correspondence will be
entered into.
6. The Eligible Entrants who submit the Final Entries will be contacted via email through
their YouTube account to notify them that they are in the top 10. It is a requirement of
this contest that these Eligible Entrants provide further contact details, including their
telephone number and address, in order to be awarded a prize. Failing to supply
contact details will result in being ineligible to receive a prize and any prize that they
would otherwise be entitled to will be forfeited.
7. The Final Entries will be posted for public voting on the Contest Website at the sole
discretion of the Promoter. Each day during 25 September to 2 October (“Public
Voting Period”), members of the public may give Final Entries a "Thumbs Up" . At the
end of the Public Voting Period, the number of valid "Thumbs Up" votes for each
Finalist will be counted and the Finalists will be placed in order from the Finalist with
the most “Thumbs Up” and the Finalist with the least “Thumbs Up” (“Voting Results”).
8. After the Voting Results are determined, the Judging Panel will designate the Grand
Prize Winner and the order of the other Finalists in its sole discretion. The Judging
Panel will make their decision based on the Judging Criteria and have no obligation to
use the voting results to determine the Grand Prize Winner, but may, in their sole
discretion, elect to use those voting results to assist in making their determination.
The Judging Panel’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
