Should the voting appear to have been tampered with or manipulated in any way, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify those affected Submissions or revise the Submissions' Public Appeal score.
b. Judging Phase: After the Contest Period, a panel of qualified judges determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion will select the two (2) entrants with the highest-scoring Video and Summary (the potential Grand Prize winners) from among all eligible Submissions based on the following criteria (“Judging Criteria”):
In the event of a tie, the entrant whose Submission received the highest score for Fit to the Contest Theme, as determined by the qualified judges, in their sole discretion, will be deemed a potential Grand Prize winner.
