Winning photos will be posted on our web site. The judging panel will be comprised of Ultimate Direction marketing personnel. All decisions of the judges will be final and binding in all respects. Each winner will be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility, liability release, and publicity release (where legal) within 14 days of prize notification. In the event of non-compliance with any of the rules set forth herein, or any prize notification returned as undeliverable, the winner's prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternative winner. Ultimate Direction is not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, late, lost, misdirected or unsuccessful efforts to notify the winners.
