Instagram accounts are free to create. Accounts must be public so Sponsor can view the Entry Post and Caption. Together, the Entry Post and Caption constitute the “Entry Submission.”

Limit one (1) entry per household and per Instagram account. Multiple entrants may not share the same Instagram account.

Use of any macro, bot, script, artificial intelligence, or other automated means to submit Entry Posts or complete any contest requirement is prohibited and may result in disqualification.

Attempts to obtain more than one entry through multiple accounts, identities, email addresses, automated software, or other methods are prohibited and may result in disqualification.

If two or more eligible Entry Posts are substantially similar, only the first Entry Post will be considered valid.

Entry Submissions must comply with Instagram’s format requirements and terms of use and may not contain content that is lewd, obscene, hateful, defamatory, or otherwise inappropriate, as determined by Sponsor.

Sponsor may disqualify any Entry Submission at any time if it fails to comply with these Official Rules.

Proof of posting or submission does not constitute proof that Sponsor or any other person can access the submission.

Each Entry Submission is deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the Instagram account used to enter.

4. Entry Post Guidelines

Videos included in an Entry Post must be at least ten (10) seconds and no more than thirty (30) seconds in length.

Your Entry Submission must:

  • Be your exclusive and original work;
