By submitting an Entry, each Entrant (and any collaborator(s) in the Entry) warrant(s) and represent(s) that the Entry (a) is original to such Entrant; (b) does not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or any other rights of any third party; (c) does not violate any law or regulation; (d) has not previously been entered in any other contest; and (e) has not been previously published in any medium.
Moreover, the Entrant warrants and represents that he/she owns all rights to his/her Entry and is able to grant to the Sponsor the rights described in the "Sponsor's Rights to Entries" section below.
Sponsor's Rights to Entries:
By submitting a Entry, each Entrant (and any collaborator(s) in the Entry):
a.
Irrevocably grant(s) to the Sponsor, its agents, licensees, and assigns the unconditional and perpetual right and permission to copyright, reproduce, encode, store, copy, transmit, publish, post, broadcast, display, publicly perform, adapt, modify, create derivative works from, exhibit, and otherwise use the Entry (with or without using the Entrant or any collaborators' name(s)) in any media throughout the world for any purpose, without limitation, and without additional review, compensation, or approval from the Entrant or any other party;
b.
Forever waives any rights of copyrights, trademark rights, privacy rights, and any other legal or moral rights that may preclude or affect the Sponsor's use of the Entrant's Entry, or require the Entrant's permission for the Sponsor to use the Entry.
c.

Irrevocably grant(s) to the Sponsor, in perpetuity throughout the world, the right to use or license to others the name(s), voice(s), likeness(es), picture(s), portrait(s), biographical information, written submissions, written or oral statements and any and all identifying characteristics of the Entry and each Entrant, for purposes including, but not limited to, advertising, promotion and publicity, or for any other reason in any medium now known or hereafter discovered, without further consent or compensation. Entrant (and any collaborators in the Entry) waive(s) any right to inspect or approve any such use of any and every nature and kind.
Selection of Winner:
a.
At some point between May 9, 2008 and May 11, 2008, the digital marketing teams of takepart.com and eyespot.com (collectively, "First-Round Judges") will judge all valid Entries on the basis of several factors. These factors are (1) innovative and compelling use of video clips, (2) originality, (3) aesthetic appeal and (4) cohesive flow of the mix (all factors will be weighed equally). From among all valid Entries, the First Round Judges will name the ten (10) best Entries (collectively, the "Qualifying Finalists").
Although Entrants are allowed to submit up to five (5) Entries, only one (1) of those Entries may be chosen to be a Qualifying Finalist.
b.
Then, on or about May 12, 2008, Brett Morgen, the director of "Chicago 10," will select one (1) winner ("Winner," such chosen Entry the "Winning Entry") from among the Qualifying Finalists. The Winning Entry will be chosen on the basis of same four (4) factors identified above (again, all factors will be weighed equally). The decisions of Mr. Morgen are final and are not subject to review. In the event that Mr. Morgen is unable to serve as a judge, the Sponsor will (in its sole discretion) select an alternate judge or judges.
The odds of winning depend on the relative performance of all Entrants and the number of valid Entries received. The Sponsor will use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to notify the Winner upon selection.
Requirements of a Potential Winner:
Except where prohibited, a potential Winner will be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release. In addition, a potential Winner will be required to sign a release in which he/she irrevocably assigns and transfers to the Sponsor any and all rights, title and interest in the Entry, including, without limitation, all copyrights and trademark rights, and waives all moral rights in the Entry, as described above. Documents must be signed, notarized, and returned to the Sponsor by May 15, 2008. If a potential Winner fails to sign and return the required documents within the required time period or is otherwise ineligible to receive the prize, an alternate Winner may be selected in his/her place according to the selection procedures set forth above.
Prizes:
The Winning Entry will be included among the bonus features on the "Chicago 10" DVD. The Entrant(s) responsible for creating the Winning Entry will receive attribution in the "Chicago 10" DVD bonus features and will also receive a "Chicago 10" poster autographed by director Brett Morgen and a DVD of "Chicago 10" when it is released. Estimated value of all prizes is $100.00. Any prize details not specified above will be determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. Prizes are not transferable or refundable and must be accepted as awarded. No cash or other substitution may be made, except by the Sponsor, who reserves the right to substitute a prize (or component thereof) with another prize (or component thereof) of equal or greater value if the prize is not available for any reason as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. The Winner is responsible for any and all other costs and expenses not listed above. Prizes may be reported as income to the Winner and the Winner will be responsible for all taxes associated with the receipt of a prize.
General Conditions:
In the event that the operation, security, or administration of the Contest is impaired in any way for any reason, including, but not limited to fraud, virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention or other technical problem, the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion suspend the Contest to address the impairment and then resume the Contest in a manner that best conforms to the spirit of these Official Rules.
The Sponsor reserves the right (in its sole discretion) to modify or cancel this Contest or to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, the Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Failure by the Sponsor to enforce any provision of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. In the event of a dispute as to any online entry, the authorized account holder of the e-mail address used to enter will be deemed to be the participant. The "authorized account holder" is the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address.
Release and Limitations of Liability:
By participating in the Contest, Entrants agree to release and hold harmless the Sponsor, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents (collectively, the "Released Parties") from and against any claim or cause of action arising out of participation in the Contest or receipt or use of any prize, including, but not limited to: (a) any technical error(s) that may prevent an Entrant from submitting an entry; (b) unauthorized human intervention in the Contest; (c) printing errors; (d) lost, late, postage-due, misdirected, or undeliverable mail or electronic mail; (e) errors in the administration of the Contest or the processing of entries; or (f) injury, death, or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from Entrant's participation in the Contest or receipt of any prize. Entrant further agrees that in any cause of action, the Released Parties' liability will be limited to the cost of participating in the Contest, and in no event shall the Released Parties be liable for attorneys' fees. Entrant waives the right to claim any damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to, punitive, consequential, direct, or indirect damages.
Disputes:
Except where prohibited, Entrant agrees that any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of, or connected with, the Contest or any prize awarded shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by the appropriate court located in the State of California. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, Entrant's/collaborators' rights and obligations, or the rights and obligations of the Sponsor in connection with the Contest, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California.
