the employees of Gibson Law Partners, LLC from among all eligible entries received.
The proposed name receiving the most votes will win the contest. The Sponsor will

and tagging the winner and asking them to contact Gibson Law Partners on the details
to secure the prize. If the potential winner cannot be contacted within five (5) days
after the date of the first attempt to contact him/her, the Sponsor may select an
alternate potential winner in his/her place at random from the remaining non-winning,
eligible entries.
7. Winner Notification
The potential winners will be notified through a Facebook post on the Gibson Law
Partners Facebook page that identifies and tags the winner. Each potential prize
winner (parent/legal guardian if a minor in his/her state of residence) will be required to
complete, electronically sign and submit a Declaration of Compliance within five (5)
days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim his/her prize. If a
potential winner cannot be contacted, or fails to submit the Declaration of Compliance
within the required time period (if applicable), or prize is returned as undeliverable,
potential winner forfeits prize. If the potential winner is at least 18 but still considered a
minor in his/her jurisdiction of residence, Sponsor reserves the right to award the prize
in the name of his/her parent or legal guardian, who will be required to sign the
Declaration of Compliance on the potential winners behalf and fulfill any other
requirements imposed on winner set forth herein. Potential winners must continue to
comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent
upon fulfilling all requirements. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any
reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by picking the
proposed name with the next most votes from all remaining eligible entries. The gift
card prize will be fulfilled approximately 2 to 7 business days after the conclusion of
the Contest.
