Is my submission eligible to win more than once?
The winning video and picture in any given week are not eligible for weekly prizes in subsequent weeks. However, these submissions are eligible to win the Grand Prize, as well as the First and Second place prizes that will be awarded at the end of the contest.
How will I know when I have won?
Weekly winners will be notified via email, phone call or text message as soon is judging is completed each week.
My submission is rated "5 stars." Why wasn't I one of the top 10?
The "most popular" submissions are determined by both the rating of the submission and the number of times it has been rated within the voting period. For example: A submission with a "5 star" rating that has only been rated once won't be as popular as a submission with a "3.5 star" rating that has been rated 100 times.
How long do I have to redeem my prizes?
The winner has 7 days to return a signed affidavit confirming their identity and eligibility. If the affidavit is not received by Liberty Tax, judges will choose from the remaining 9 top pictures or videos from that week's voting.
