6. Winner Determination:

1. Contest: Contest winners will be selected according to the process set forth below:
   
   
   1. Judging Phase I: During Judging Phase I (see Section 4 for specific dates), qualified judges (the "Judges"), whose decisions as to the administration of this Contest and the selection of the Semi-Finalists are final and binding in all matters, will select from amongst all eligible Creations received during the Submission Phase one hundred (100) semi-finalist Creations ("Semi-Finalists"). The Judges will evaluate the Semi-Finalists based on their Creations using the following criteria (the "Judging Criteria"):
      
      
      • 33% creativity;
      • 33% quality; and
      • 34% relevance to Contest theme of how you make your mark and Write Out Loud® (see Section 5(a)).
      
      In the event of tie, the entrant whose Creation the Judges determine to demonstrate the highest quality will be deemed the Semi-Finalist.
      
      
   2. Voting Phase: During the Voting Phase (see Section 4 for specific dates), Semi-Finalists will be posted at http://www.sharpie.com. Each individual who meets the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 1 will be invited to vote for the Semi-Finalist that he/she believes is best. Limit: Each participant may vote one (1) time per day during the Voting Phase. The three (3) Semi-Finalists who receive the highest number of votes will be finalists ("Finalists"). In case of a tie, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will select the Finalist from the tied Semi-Finalists based on an application of the Judging Criteria set forth in Section 6(a)(i), above.
   
   
   
   3. Judging Phase II: During the Judging Phase II (see Section 4 for specific dates), the Judges and/or David Beckham, whose decisions as to the administration of this Contest and the selection of each potential Grand Prize winner are final and binding in all matters, will select from the Finalists the potential Grand, First and Second Prize winner using the Judging Criteria outlined in Section 6(a)(i) above. The Finalist who receives the highest score will be a potential Grand Prize winner; the Finalist who receives the second highest score will be a potential First Prize winner and the Finalist who receives the third highest score will be a potential Second Prize winner. In the event of tie between two (2) or more Finalists, the Finalist the Judges determine to demonstrate the highest quality will be deemed the winner from amongst the tied Finalists. Potential winners will be notified on or around April 20, 2009.



2. Sweepstakes: Administrator is an independent judging organization whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and the selection of the potential Sweepstakes winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Administrator will randomly select the potential Sweepstakes winners, from all eligible entries received during the November Monthly Entry Period on or around December 15, 2009, during the December Monthly Entry Period on or around January 12, 2009 and for the January Monthly Entry Period on or around February 9, 2009. Non-winning entries will carry over into drawings for subsequent Monthly Entry Periods. Potential Sweepstakes winners will be notified the week following the respective drawing date.

7. Winner Requirements: Potential winners will be notified by email, mail or phone on or around the dates set forth in Section 6. Each potential Grand Prize winner will be required to sign and return to Administrator an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability & Publicity Release (the "Affidavit") within ten (10) calendar days of notification. If any potential winner cannot be contacted, or fails to sign and return the applicable Affidavit within the required time period (if applicable), he/she forfeits the applicable prize and his/her Creation(s) will be disqualified from further consideration. Failure to comply with these requirements and or the Official Rules for any reason, return of prize notification or prize as un-deliverable or disqualification of any winner for any reason will result in forfeiture of applicable prize. If a potential Contest Prize winner forfeits a prize or is disqualified for any reason, the Judges will select the Finalist whose Creation received the next highest score, and/or the Semi-Finalist whose Creation received the next highest number of votes during the Voting Phase as an alternate potential winner. If a potential Sweepstakes winner forfeits a prize or is disqualified for any reason, Administrator will select from all eligible entries received during all Monthly Entry Periods an alternate potential winner. This course of action may continue until the particular prize is won and claimed, or for up to three (3) alternates (after which the applicable prize will remain un-awarded), whichever occurs first (if time permits). Acceptance of any prize shall constitute and signify the winner's agreement and consent to Sponsor use of the winner's name, city, state, country, likeness, photo, Creation and/or prize information in connection with the Promotion or with respect to Sponsor's brand, products, ad campaigns, worldwide, including the Internet, without limitation and without further payment or consideration, except where prohibited by law.
