any Nomination that Sponsor, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines to be inconsistent with the letter or spirit of the Official Rules or the Program or potentially damaging to its, the Program’s, or another’s image or reputation. Program Judging: All eligible Nominations will be judged by a panel of qualified judges, whose decisions are final and binding, to determine the recipient using the following criteria: 1. The Nominee’s commitment of service to his/her local community: 30%; 2. What the Nominee has done to significantly contribute to and/or impact his/her local community: 30%; 3. Reasons expressed by Nominator as to why Nominee deserves to receive the award: 30%; and 4. Articulation/Persuasiveness of Nomination: 10%. In the event of a tie, the judges will determine the recipient based on the contribution of the Nominee’s community-driven activities and accomplishments within their local community. Sponsor reserves the right to not award the award if, in its sole discretion, it receives an insufficient number of eligible and qualified Nominations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Nominee and not the Nominator will be deemed the “recipient.” Judging scores will not be revealed. The decisions of the Sponsor and judges are final and binding in all matters.
