6. All entries will be posted at http://asuseeehackscontests.blogspot.com as we receive them.
7. Blog readers will be allowed to vote starting June 1 until June 17, 2008 midnight (California time). A poll will be set-up in this blog to allow voters to cast their votes. Multiple votes will be allowed.
8. At the end of the voting period, the entry with the most votes wins. In case, of a tie, the minimum cash prize will be divided among the tied entries.
9. The name of the winner will be announced in this blog. It is your responsibility to check this blog.
10. The winner will receive a cash prize, the amount of which will be determined in the following manner: the difference between the winning entry’s votes and the second placer’s votes, with each vote worth USD0.10. There will be a minimum prize of USD20 and a maximum prize of USD100. I.e. If the winning margin is equal to or less than 200, the cash prize will be USD20; if it is equal to or more than 1000, then the cash prize will be USD100. If the winning margin is in between, then the exact margin will be multiplied by USD0.10. E.g. Margin is 888, cash prize is USD88.80.
11. The winner will be required to email source files (PSD file, individual graphics or backgrounds for composite works, etc.) of winning entry sufficient to prove he/she created the wallpaper. Once this is verified, the winner will be paid via PayPal within 24 hours. For transparency’s sake, the winner’s full name and country will be disclosed.
12. Contest rules might be subject to change depending on suggestions and feedback and prior to actual start date (May 1). Once the contest begins, the rules are final unless subject to any legal requirements.
13. All decisions concerning this contest shall be based on our sole discretion and shall be final.
