Finalist Judging: All eligible Entries received during the Contest Period will be judged by the Sponsor and its agents to determine five (5) Finalists (each, a “Finalist”). Entries will be judged based on the following criteria (“Criteria”): Creativity – 33%; Desirability – 33%; Feasibility – 34%. Sponsor will not reveal details relating to the judging process. In the event of a tie, judges will make the final determination based 100% on Feasibility. 

Finalist/Grand Prize Notification/Verification: The potential Finalists will be contacted via email and will be required to complete and return a Declaration of Eligibility, Release of Liability and a Publicity Release (where legal) and an Assignment of Rights within 48 hours of notification attempt. Non-compliance within this time period or return of any notification as undeliverable may result in disqualification and determination of an alternate Finalist. Sponsor reserves the right to conduct a background check on the Finalists (and each Finalist agrees to this) and reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify the Finalist based on the results of such background check(s), if Sponsor determines in its sole discretion that awarding a prize to such Finalist might reflect negatively on Sponsor or Contest Entities. Grand Prize winner, once determined must complete and return a Grand Prize Acceptance Form within the time specified or prize may be forfeited and an alternate will be determined from the next highest scoring Finalist. Finalists and Grand Prize winner are subject to verification by Sponsor and/or Administrator whose decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to this Contest.

Grand Prize Determination: After an eligible Entrant is confirmed as a Finalist (as described above), they will be required to participate in a Sponsor-specified live interview (“Interview”) to be conducted virtually by a panel of judges, as part of the final judging process. Scheduling for said Interview will be confirmed via the Declaration of Compliance and will be due upon receipt. As part of the confirmation process, Finalists will be expected to provide a release for the content of this Interview. The Finalists’ Interviews will be judged based on the same Criteria to determine the Grand Prize winner. All details of the Interview will be provided to Finalists once verified. In the event of a tie to determine Grand Prize winner, tied Finalist Entries will be re-judged based on (100%) Creativity.

Prize: One (1) Grand Prize: Winner’s design will be brought to real life in one of Sponsor’s vacation rental properties (by their property management partners), including naming rights (that must follow the Arrived property naming convention and is not objectionable) and winner will receive $5,000 worth of Arrived shares through a redeemable code and transferred by Sponsor to the winner when it launches on Sponsor’s platform, based on winner’s Entry. There is no retail value associated with design or naming rights, only the winner’s shares. Winner must have an Arrived Home account.
