The Entry with the largest Reception during the Entry Period will be deemed the winning Entry for the Conference Contest (each Daily Contest winning Entry and the Conference Contest winning Entry, individually, a “Winning Entry” and, collectively, the “Winning Entries”). Winning Entries will be subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms of these Official Rules.
