Winner Selection

One (1) potential winner will be selected by the Sponsor after reviewing all eligible entries. This is a judged skill contest and not a random drawing.

  • Creativity and originality — 40%
  • Storytelling, personality, and entertainment value — 30%
  • Connection to The Coffee’s Crib, its coffee, or its community — 20%
  • Overall video quality and compliance — 10%

If entries are tied, the entry with the higher creativity-and-originality score will rank higher. The Sponsor’s judging decisions are final, subject to applicable law.

Winner Notification

The potential winner will be announced on The Coffee’s Crib’s official Instagram account and contacted by Instagram Direct Message after all eligible entries have been reviewed.

The potential winner must respond within seventy-two (72) hours and provide any information reasonably requested to verify identity, age, residency, account ownership, eligibility, and compliance.

If the potential winner does not respond, is ineligible, refuses the prize, or fails verification, the Sponsor may disqualify that entrant and select an alternate winner.

10

The Prize

One verified winner will receive one complimentary eligible beverage per eligible business day, Monday through Friday, for twelve (12) consecutive months.

For each eligible redemption, the winner may choose either:

  • One regular 16-ounce iced coffee beverage; or
  • One regular 12-ounce hot coffee beverage.

The Sponsor will provide the winner with the official prize start date and expiration date after verification. The prize is limited to one eligible beverage per eligible business day and approximately 260 total possible redemptions, depending on business closures and the actual operating calendar.

11

Drink Restrictions

The complimentary beverage is limited to a qualifying regular menu coffee beverage prepared according to its standard recipe in the eligible size.

The prize does not include larger sizes, alternative milks, extra espresso shots, additional syrups, cold foam, whipped cream, toppings, add-ons, food, pastries, bottled drinks, merchandise, retail coffee, gift cards, catering, delivery, seasonal premium beverages, or other items designated as ineligible by the Sponsor.

Any approved upgrade or modification must be purchased separately at the current menu price.

12

Redemption Rules

  • Only the verified winner may redeem the prize.
  • The winner must be physically present and redeem the drink in person at The Coffee’s Crib.

  • Missed days may not be combined or redeemed later.
  • Redemption is subject to normal business hours and ingredient availability.
13

Closures and Availability

No redemption or replacement is owed for weekends, holidays, scheduled closures, emergency closures, repairs, maintenance, private events, ingredient shortages, utility failures, government orders, severe weather, force majeure events, or other circumstances that prevent normal operation.

Missed days caused by closure do not extend the redemption period and do not create a right to cash, credit, or a replacement drink.

If an eligible beverage is unavailable, the Sponsor may offer another qualifying beverage of equal or lesser value.

14

Prize Restrictions

The prize is personal to the verified winner and may not be transferred, assigned, shared, sold, auctioned, bartered, gifted, exchanged, duplicated, or redeemed for cash, credit, gift cards, merchandise, or another prize.

The winner is responsible for any tax or reporting obligation that may apply. The Sponsor may request tax documentation when legally required.

15

Fraud and Revocation

The Sponsor may disqualify an entrant, refuse a redemption, or revoke prize privileges if it reasonably determines that a person used false information, bots, fake accounts, purchased engagement, artificial likes or shares, unauthorized redemption credentials, duplicate redemptions, abusive conduct, threats, harassment, fraud, tampering, or another material violation of these rules.
