6. Random Drawing/Prize Winner Judging: On or about July 15, 2021, two hundred (200) Entries will be randomly selected from among all eligible Entries received throughout the Promotion Period. In the event there are fewer than two hundred (200) eligible Entries received, there will be no random drawing and all eligible Entries will proceed to the judging. Drawing will be conducted by the Administrator, an independent judging organization whose decisions are final and binding on all matters related to the random drawing, if applicable. The odds of being selected in the random drawing to be judged depend on the total number of eligible Entries received throughout the Promotion Period.
   
   On or about August 2, 2021, the two hundred (200) Entries selected in the random drawing (or all eligible Entries) will be judged by a panel of Sponsor representatives (“Judges”), based on the following criteria:

• Originality/Creativity – 40% - How creative, original and interesting is the video submission?
• Quality – 30% - Is the video of good quality (i.e., good lighting, not pixelated, sound quality)?
• Appropriateness to the public image of the Sponsor – 30% - Does the video meet Starbucks brand mission and values? Does the video convey an optimistic and uplifting tone? Please see Starbucks Mission & Values Statement here: https://www.starbucks.com/about-us/company-information/mission-statement
  
  The Entry that receives the highest scores from the Judges will be deemed the potential Grand Prize winner, subject to verification. The next two (2) Entries that receive the highest scores from the Judges will be deemed the potential First Prize winners, subject to verification. In the event of a tie, tied Entries will be re-judged by the Judges based 50% on Originality/Creativity and 50% on Quality. Sponsor/Judges’ decisions are final with respect to all matters relating to the judging. By participating, Entrants agree to the decisions of the Judges/Administrator, which shall be final and binding in all respects.  No information regarding Entries, random drawing or judging will be disclosed to any third party not involved in the conduct of the Promotion.

7. Winner Notification: Potential winners will be notified by direct message from @starbucks on TikTok using the TikTok account used to enter the Promotion and must follow the instructions provided within the direct message within forty-eight (48) hours of notification. The potential winners must then sign and return via DocuSign, a Declaration of Compliance, Liability & Publicity Release (where legal) and Assignment of Rights (collectively, “Declaration”). The Declaration must be completed, signed and return the Declaration via a method specified by Sponsor within seventy-two (72) hours after delivery of the Declaration to the winner. The “Released Parties” (as defined below) shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential winner for any reason. If, despite reasonable efforts, a potential winner does not respond within the time period specified in the prize notification, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential winner, or if Declaration is returned undeliverable, or in the event that potential winner is ineligible for any reason or has not complied with these Official Rules such potential winner will forfeit his or her prize and an alternate winner may be selected. If any potential winner is found to be ineligible, or if the potential winner has not complied with these Official Rules or declines a prize for any reason prior to award, such potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate winner may be determined.
