   Round 1 Judging: On weekdays beginning on or about October 22, 2021 and continuing until on or about February 18, 2022 during business hours (“Round 1 Judging Period”), all eligible Pitch Videos will be judged by representatives of the Sponsor (“Pitch Judges”) whose decisions are final and binding in all respects. Each individual eligible Pitch Video will be judged according to the following judging criteria and scoring system: 1) “Concept” (33%); 2) “Originality” (33%); and 3) “Creativity” (33%) (collectively “Pitch Judging Criteria”). Up to ten (10) Entrants who receive the highest scores based on the Pitch Judging Criteria will be declared the potential Finalists (subject to verification and compliance with these Official Rules). In the event of a tie, the Entrant whose Pitch Video received the higher score for “Creativity” will be declared a potential Finalist. In the event of a further tie, the Entrant whose Pitch Video received the higher score for “Originality” will be declared a potential Finalist. In the event of a further tie, Sponsor in its sole discretion shall choose the Finalist based on an evaluation of which Pitch Video is superior overall, taking all Pitch Judging Criteria into consideration. Judges have the right, in their sole discretion, to select less than ten (10) Finalists based on an insufficient number of potential eligible Entries received.

   Finalist Notification and Verification: Up to ten (10) potential Finalists (or his/her/their parent/legal guardian if he/she/they is a Minor) will be notified by the Sponsor or Sponsor’s designee at the phone number/email address listed on his/her/their Entry after the Round 1 Judging process is complete and be required to (i) provide proof of part-time or full-time student status attending the HBCU college/university submitted on his her entry (e.g. college/university I.D.) and provide any additional documentation that the Sponsor or Sponsor’s designee may require; and (ii) confirm an Interview date and time during the Round 2 judging period that will be conducted between February 21, 2022 and March 4, 2022 (“Round 2 Judging Period”). Interviews may be conducted either in-person or via a video calldepending on the city/state the Finalist resides and the proximity of the Producer(s) location. In-person Interviews will have no advantage over video call Interviews. If a potential Finalist cannot be reached within the time frames listed above, is he/she/they is found to be ineligible, or if he/she/they cannot or does not comply with these Official Rules, such potential Finalist will be disqualified, and the Finalist whose Entry received the next highest score will be selected as a potential Finalist (in Sponsor’s sole discretion). The Interview must be scheduled by March 4, 2022. Failure to schedule an Interview within this timeframe (or any attempt to cancel/re-schedule an Interview) will disqualify a potential Finalist.

   Round 2 Judging: Each Finalist’s Interview will be judged by representatives of the Sponsor (“Producer(s) Judges”) during the Round 2 Judging Period based on the following judging criteria: “Vision for Project” (50%); “Plan for How Money Will Be Spent” (20%); and “Filmmaking Background and Career Aspirations” (30%) (“Producer’s Round Criteria”). The Finalist who received the highest Round 2 score based on the Producer’s Round Criteria listed above will be deemed by Producer(s) and the Sponsor as the Grand Prize Winner (subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules). In the event of a tie, the Finalist whose Interview received the highest score for “Vision for Project” will be declared the Grand Prize Winner. In the event of a further tie, the Entrant whose Interview received the higher score for “Filmmaking Background and Career Aspirations” will be declared a potential the Grand Prize Winner. The Grand Prize Winner will be announced on or about March 7, 2022.

   Grand Prize Winner Notification and Verification: The potential Grand Prize Winner (or his/her/their parent/legal guardian if he/she/they is a Minor) will be notified by the Sponsor or Sponsor’s designee by telephone on or about March 7, 2022. The potential Grand Prize Winner will be required to sign and return an original unmodified Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release and a Publicity Release (collectively “Affidavit/Release”), an IRS Form W-9, and any other documentation that the Sponsor or Contest Administrator may require including but not limited to a legible copy of his/her/their government-issued photo identification within three (3) business days after receipt, or such potential Grand Prize Winner may be disqualified.

By returning the completed Affidavit/Release, the Grand Prize Winner attests to the provisions stated therein including the accuracy of the information contained therein and compliance with these Official Rules. If the Grand Prize Winner is from a jurisdiction that deems him/her/them to be a Minor, the Grand Prize will be awarded in the name of his/her/their parent/legal guardian, who must sign the Affidavit/Release (and provide any other required documentation) on his/her/their behalf. If the potential Grand Prize Winner fails to sign and return his/her/their documents within the required time period (as applicable above), such potential winner forfeits any prize eligibility despite having possibly been announced as the “Grand Prize Winner”.
