You may enter the Contest as many times as you would like, except that each entry must provide a different tip. All non-winning entries from previous Weekly Periods will be reviewed and judged again along with any new entries each week to determine a winner for that Weekly Period. Limit one prize per person/registered Hanesgreen.com account during the entire Promotional Period. Incomplete entries will not be considered.

All entries, including the tips, become the property of the Sponsor. By entering, you affirm and represent that the tip is your own work and that you have not copied it from another source or otherwise infringed the intellectual property of another, and that you have the right to submit the tip in an entry in this Contest. By including a photograph or video in your entry, you affirm that you have permission from the photographer/ videographer and everyone pictured in the photograph or video to submit the photograph or video as part of a contest entry and to grant Sponsor the license below to use the photograph or video. You affirm that the photograph and/or video are your own work and do not infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. Sponsor may disqualify any entry that it believes, in its sole discretion, contains offensive, sexual, or violent material, including in any accompanying photograph or video, or is otherwise inconsistent with the values of the HANES brand. By entering, you acknowledge compliance with these Official Rules, including eligibility requirements, and you agree to all decisions of Sponsor and judges, which are final. By entering, you grant to Sponsor a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, post, publish, edit, and/or create derivative works from your tip and any photograph or video associated with it, and the right to choose not to use, post, publish, edit and/or create derivative works from your tip, photograph or video, in any media and for any purpose without limitation and without compensation or further obligation to you. Sponsor may post tips, photographs and videos (as applicable) with the entrant’s first name, last initial and hometown on the Share a Tip section of the Hanesgreen.com website for public viewing and/or may include such tips, photographs and videos in various electronic and social networking communications.

Sponsor or its designee will select one (1) Weekly Winner according to the judging criteria below from among all the eligible entries received from the beginning of the Contest to the closing date for each of the 20 Weekly Periods during the Promotional Period.

The second Weekly Period ends at 11:59:59 p.m. ET on August 27, 2010, and so forth throughout the Promotional Period.

Sponsor or its designee will judge all entries based upon the following criteria: Originality and creativity (50%); level of impact on the environment/community/others (25%); ease of use/broad applicability/ability of others to adopt or follow your tip (25%).

This is a contest of skill. Your chances of winning depend on how well your tip, as described in your written submission, reflects these judging criteria, as compared to the other entries in the contest as of the closing date of each applicable Weekly Period.

The potential winner for each Weekly Period will be selected within seven (7) days following the close of each Weekly Period and will be notified via e-mail within three (3) business days following selection.

Sponsor will then notify the next highest scoring entry from that Weekly Period in order to award the prize.
