How to Enter: To enter the Sweepstakes, visit duckbrand.com/stickswitheducation and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the entry form nominating a Teacher (“Teacher”) who has gone above and beyond and made a positive impact on their school and/or community (“Entry”). Entrants may submit multiple Entries to nominate multiple Teachers, however, each Entry must be unique and Entrants may only nominate a single Teacher one time. Any attempt by any Entrant to obtain more than the stated number of Entries by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods to nominate the same Teacher will void such Entries and that Entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated or computer system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. Incomplete, corrupted, or untimely Entries are void and will be disqualified. Sponsor and its agencies are not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, damaged, stolen or misdirected Entries; lost, interrupted, or unavailable network, server, or other connections; or miscommunications, computer or software malfunctions, telephone transmission problems, technical failures, garbled transmissions, damage to a user's computer equipment (software or hardware), or other errors or malfunctions of any kind, whether human, mechanical, electronic or otherwise. Proof of submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an Entrant, the email address associated with the Entry will be deemed to be the Entrant. The "authorized account holder" is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, Internet service provider, or other organization (which may include an employer) responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Potential winning Entrant(s) may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.
