A contest is any game, puzzle, scheme, or plan which offers prospective participants the opportunity to receive or compete for gifts or prizes on the basis of skill.

A sweepstakes is any procedure for distributing anything of value by lot or chance. A sweepstakes must not violate any provision of law, including the law that prohibits lotteries.

The evaluation of the skills is based on the content submitted by Participants in their entries.

Participation to a contest can be conditioned wholly or partly on the payment of some value, but the contest must not include an element of chance.

A contest does not include a sporting event, performance, or tournament of skill, power or endurance between participants who are actually present.

The main differences between a sweepstakes and a contest are that the contest participants must use at least some skill to win the prize and may pay some value to participate in the contest.

No purchase or payment is necessary in order to enter a sweepstakes.

To enter a contest or sweepstake, users must submit an entry by promoting a campaign specified by the organizer.

Each contest or sweepstake can have guidelines to indicate additional specific tasks or content to produce on each entry to win.

Winners are determined based on a random draw (sweepstake), or based on an evaluation made by the organizer and sponsors (contest).

Contests and Sweepstakes are launched by the Organizer, and ends at a time he specifies.

Organizers and Sponsors should make sure that the necessary judging to finalize the contest or sweepstake is done no more than 10 business days after the end of the contest or sweepstake.
