5. DECISION DATE:
All Drawings will be judged by a panel of judges, as the Sponsor, in its sole discretion may appoint. The panel of judges will determine the ten (10) winning Drawings, but in the event that the panel of judges does not, in the sole opinion of TD, produce one or more clear potential winners, the Sponsor reserves the right to select a winning Drawing. Selection of the ten (10) Drawings will be made in Toronto, Ontario at 10:00 a.m. ET on Friday, October 21, 2011 (the “Decision Date”).

The ten (10) Drawings which the panel of judges have determined most closely meet the selection criteria as set out above will be chosen to be uploaded onto a website at www.tdfef.com/artcontest to be the subject of a public vote to determine the one (1) Grand Prize winner and nine (9) Secondary Prize winners. From 9:00:00 a.m. ET on Monday, October 31, to 4:59:59 p.m. ET on Friday, November 11, 2011(“Voting Period”) the public will be able to vote on their favourite Drawing from among the ten (10) Drawings that have been uploaded. The Drawing that receives the highest number of votes will be declared the Grand Prize winning Drawing. In the event of a tie, the Sponsor shall, in its sole discretion decide the Grand Prize winning Drawing. The remaining nine (9) Drawings will be the Secondary Prize winning Drawings.

There is a limit of one (1) vote per Drawing per person/e-mail address/computer for the duration of the Voting Period portion of the Contest. If it is discovered that attempts were made to vote more than once per person/e-mail address/computer for the same Drawing, then only the first such vote will be valid and all other such votes associated with that IP address will be void. Use of any automated, script, macro or robotic program or use of different names per person/e-mail address/computer by the same person to submit per person/e-mail address/computer votes may result in the disqualification, in the sole discretion of the Sponsor, of the Drawing to which such votes relate. Also, systematic voting from the same computer/IP address over a short period of time may result in the disqualification, in the sole discretion of the Sponsor, of the votes and/or the Drawing to which such votes relate. Immediately after the Voting Period ends, the Drawing with the highest number of votes received will be deemed to be the Grand Prize winner. In the event that fan voting does not, in the sole opinion of the Sponsor, produce one or more clear potential winners, or is inconclusive due to technical difficulties, unreliability of the data, apparent voting irregularities, or any other cause whatsoever, the Sponsor reserves the right to select the winning Drawing.

6. PRIZE AWARDING: If your Drawing is selected as a potential winning Drawing, your Representative will be provided specific instructions on what is required in order to claim a Prize. Prizes will be awarded only upon verification and final approval by the Sponsor.
