Complete Guidelines for our Name The Cow Promotion 2019 Contest

Our Name The Cow Promotion 2019 is meant for entertainment purposes only, and will be used to name our Cow that is located out in front of our building. Promotion is open to anyone over 18 years of age, with a chance to win Gift Card or Gift Certificate Prizes for those who enter the Contest and win a Prize..

The Promotion will be judged based first by popular vote of the general public on the names of the Cow submitted. Because there is a high likelihood that there will be many submissions with the same name, the uploaded most popular photos with the most views will be used as a secondary guideline for judging purposes.

When logging in with Social logins, and/or manual entry process, be sure to use a valid email as this will be our only source to contact winners.

All users will be allowed a maximum of 3 photos in the Name The Cow Promotion 2019, however each entry will be required to have a unique Cow name that you did not submit for any other photo. Please note that entering more than one photo in the Contest could reduce your chances of winning a Prize by splitting votes for any of your entries between more than one entry.

Please remember that this Contest is for entertainment purposes, and all Prize Winners will be decided upon by the general public via the voting system, except for the Grand Prize which will be determined by the PA Dutch Farmers Market of Wyomissing Vendors.

The available Prizes are as follows:

All Gift Card Prizes are valid for redemption at any Vendor within the PA Dutch Farmers Market of Wyomissing.

Should several photos in the Top 11 positions have the same number of likes, all winning positions will then be determined by the highest number of views for each of those competing photos. The Top 10 list rotates photos in a random fashion for all photos with the same number of likes for entertainment display purposes, so winners will be decided in descending order by total views for their photo entry that has a competing number of likes from other photos.. This is necessary because refreshing the page would change order of the Top 10 once again for those with identical number of likes. Should number of likes and number of views be identical, the Market Vendors will chose the winning entry from those affected as identical. Their decision is final, and non-negotiable.

Because there are 11 Prizes available, winners of any Prizes will be chosen as follows.

The Top 10 entries as determined by public vote, will then be printed out at the end of the Voting period, and submitted for judging by the Market Vendors of PA Dutch Farmers Market of Wyomissing on September 6th, 2019. The winning Cow name will be chosen by popular vote (the most votes) when being judged by the Market Vendors. Since there is a high likelihood that duplicate names could be submitted, your submitted photos will be the tie breaking secondary judging tool. Out of the winning name that has identical entries, the most popular photo from that group will determine the final winner. All decisions are final, and at the discretion of the Market Vendors.

Once the Grand Prize Winner has been determined on September 6th, 2019 and theoretically pulled from the list (ignored), then the remaining Top 10 entries will be used to determine Prize winners in descending order. Should there be identical votes for more than one entry, the view count will be considered the tie breaker.

An example of this is as follows, and would continue same principle for winners until all Prizes are awarded. Remember if you refresh the Top 10 page, the photo orders will change for all photos with the same number of likes, which is why the views count will be secondary winning criteria.

Position 1. - 5 likes & 15 views - Second Prize Winner

Position 2. - 5 likes & 30 views - 1st Prize Winner

Position 3. - 3 likes & 10 views - Fourth Prize Winner

Position 4. - 3 likes & 25 views. - Third Prize Winner

If you have more than one Name and Cow photo in the Top 11, only the photo with the most likes will be used for Prize determination. We will only allow one Prize per registered family/user. The only exception to this rule will be when there are equal to, or less photos submitted than there are Prizes. In this case, we may at our option award all prizes regardless if a registered family/user had more than one photo entered into the Contest.

This promotion will follow and adhere to all rules and/or regulations as provided on all pages available on this contest website.
