How the Sponsor Winners Are Determined:
How the Sponsor Winners Are Determined:
I estimate the winner selection process to take approximately 3 weeks.
At the end of the hop, the bloggers will choose a name by random draw from the comments on their blog hop post and submit the name to the contest administrator. Each name counts as an entry. The administrator will check to see if the winners have followed the Sponsor comment rule and are eligible.
From the eligible names, the administrator will draw 8 names in numerical order. The 8 winners will be posted on the Fiskafriends blog and will have 72 hours (PDT) from the time of posting to respond to the announcement according to the directions given on the post.
If a winner does not respond by the deadline, all the names below that person on the numerical list will be moved up and a new name will be drawn and added to the end of the list.
The winners will get to choose the prize they want. The first on the list chooses first, the second chooses from the remaining prizes and so on. The winners must respond to the administrator by the deadlines set or forfeit so as not to delay the awarding of prizes to the other winners.
All decisions made by the administrator of the giveaway contest are final.
The names of the winners will be given to the sponsors. The winners must abide by the sponsors' policies regarding the prizes.
