5. JUDGING AND FINALIST DETERMINATION: All eligible Entries received during the Contest Period will be judged by a panel appointed by the Sponsor beginning on/around August 14, 2023 who shall use the criteria set forth below to determine each Entry’s total judging score (the “Judging Score”): 

1. Product/Brand or Technology Overall (40%)
   1. Addresses skincare or haircare need(s) of Black consumers
   2. Contains a blend of science and nature
   3. Originality
   4. Creativity
2. Presentation/Pitch Effectiveness (30%)
   1. Originality
   2. Creativity
3. Strategy/Business Plan (30%)

The five (5) Entries that receive the highest Judging Score based on the judging criteria will each be deemed a potential finalist (each, a “Finalist”). In the unlikely event of a tie, the tied Entry with the highest score in Criterion A, “Product/Brand, or Technology Overall”, will be deemed the potential Finalist. If additional tie breakers are needed, the tie-breaking mechanism above will be used; however, instead of the highest score in Criterion A determining the potential Finalist from among the tied Entries, the highest scores in each of Criteria B through C, in sequence (to the extent needed) will determine the potential Finalist. In the event additional tiebreakers are needed, all tied Entries will be judged by a separate panel of judges using the judging criteria above. At the same time as Finalist determination, the Entries that received the next two-highest scores will be notified of their status as an alternate in the event a Finalist is not able to participate in the Pitch Event (described below) and there is sufficient time, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, for such alternate to be able to participate in the Pitch Event . Fewer than five (5) Finalists may continue on to the Pitch Event without liability to the Sponsor or its designees of any kind, at Sponsor’s election. Sponsor reserves the right to not provide all prizes if it does not receive a sufficient number of eligible and qualified Entries or Finalists.

6. FINALIST NOTIFICATION AND VERIFICATION: Potential Finalists will be contacted by the Administrator by email or phone on/around the week of August 28, 2023, and will be required to sign and return, within seven (7) days of notification, an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Waiver, and where allowable, a Publicity Release (collectively, "the Releases"), an IRS W-9 Form, proof of their ownership of the Company to Sponsor’s satisfaction, a confidentiality agreement agreeing to keep the results of the Pitch Event confidential until the public announcement by the Sponsor, and any other paperwork as required by Sponsor. Noncompliance will result in disqualification and an alternate potential Finalist may be notified. 

Noncompliance will result in disqualification and the Entrant with the next highest Judging Score will be deemed a potential Finalist. If a potential Finalist is otherwise eligible under these Official Rules but is nevertheless deemed a minor in her state of primary residence, the potential Finalist’s parent or legal guardian will be required to execute and return the Releases on minor’s behalf, and to provide the other required documentation.

Potential Finalists may also be required to submit to a background check to confirm eligibility and help ensure that the use of any such person in advertising or publicity will not bring Sponsor and its respective affiliated entities into public disrepute, contempt, scandal or ridicule or reflect unfavorably on the Contest or Sponsor, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify a potential Finalist on the basis of the findings resulting from such background check or if a potential Finalist fails to properly authorize and/or provide the required information in connection with such background check.

7. PITCH EVENT: The Finalists will attend a virtual pitch competition (the “Pitch Event”) to present their Company and Product to a panel of judges comprised of representatives from Sponsor (the “Pitch Judges”). Pitch Event will be recorded and consist of a 5-minute maximum presentation by each of the Finalists and a Q&A session with the Pitch Judges to take place during the month of September 2023. All Finalists must be available on the dates/times specified by Sponsor (TBD). Dates are subject to change. Sponsor will provide each Finalist with a description of the program, Pitch Event requirements and timing upon each Finalist being verified in accordance with the requirements set forth herein. 

8. GRAND PRIZE, FIRST RUNNER-UP PRIZE AND SECOND RUNNER-UP PRIZE WINNERS DETERMINATION AND ANNOUNCEMENT: 

Finalists will participate in the Pitch Event and their presentation will be judged by the Pitch Judges, who shall use the criteria set forth below to determine each Finalist’s total judging score (the “Pitch Score”): 

1. Product/Brand or Technology Overall (40%)
   1. Addresses skincare or haircare need(s) of Black consumers
   2. Contains a blend of science and nature
   3. Originality
   4. Creativity
2. Presentation/Pitch Effectiveness (30%)
   1. Originality
   2. Creativity
3. Strategy/Business Plan (30%)

The Finalist that receives the highest Pitch Score based on the judging criteria will be deemed the potential Grand Prize winner. The Finalist that receives the second-highest Pitch Score based on the judging criteria will be deemed the potential First Runner-Up Prize winner. The three (3) remaining Finalists will each be deemed a Second Runner-Up Prize winner. In the unlikely event of a tie, the Finalist from among those tied with the highest score in this Section 8, Criterion A, “Product/Brand, or Technology Overall”, will be deemed the potential winner of the prize at issue. If additional tie breakers are needed, the highest scores in each of this Section 8, Criteria B through C, in sequence (to the extent needed) will determine the potential winner for that prize. In the event additional tiebreakers are needed, all tied Finalists will be asked a series of additional questions by the Pitch Judges and scored using the same Pitch Event judging until the winner for that prize is determined. Sponsor reserves the right to not award all prizes if, in its sole discretion, there are not enough qualified Finalists and/or presentations to the Pitch Judges.

The potential Grand Prize, First Runner-Up Prize and Second Runner-Up Prize winners will be required to sign and return, within five (5) days of notification, an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Waiver and Release from Liability, an IRS W-9 Form and where allowable, a Publicity Release. Noncompliance will result in disqualification and the Entrant with the next highest Pitch Score will be deemed the potential winner of such prize.
