Open to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and District of Columbia who are 18 years of age or older.

HOW TO ENTER: During the Submission Phase, go online to http://www.facebook.com/CheezIt ("Website"); click on the "BIG Hand Model Search" tab - https://www.facebook.com/cheezit/...7041785132; and then follow the online instructions to enter the Contest.

Entrants can submit as many entries as they wish, but each Submission must be unique and significantly different from any of their other Submissions. Entrants may not participate with multiple e-mail addresses, nor may entrants use any device to enter as multiple entrants. Any entrant who attempts to enter with multiple e-mail addresses or under multiple identities will be disqualified from participation in the Contest and all entries submitted by that entrant will be void.

Contest provides eligible entrants with the opportunity to take a digital photo of their "epically big hand" using forced perspective ("Submission"); and submit the Submission for judging by the judging panel, the official judges in the Contest whose decisions are final and binding, to determine the Grand Prize winner – subject to verification. For purposes of these Official Rules, "forced perspective" is defined as a technique that employs optical illusion to make an object (i.e. your hand) appears farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. Entries must include the entrant's use of forced perspective to show their "epically big hand".

To submit your entry, upload the required digital photo of your "epically big hand" using forced perspective. Submissions should be no larger than two (2) MB; must be no larger than 600 pixels in size, and must be uploaded in one (1) of the following formats: .jpeg, or .png. By entering, you understand and agree that: 1) your entry may (in Sponsor's sole discretion) be posted online for consumers to view and vote on; 2) you have made all those depicted in the photo (in the event individuals other than the entrant are included in the photo submitted) aware that you are entering a photo in which they are depicted in the Contest and that all depicted have given you their approval that you may submit such photograph; 3) that any individual(s) depicted in the photo are 18 years of age or older; and 4) you may be required to provide a release from all those depicted in the photo, in Sponsor's sole discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to remove any posted entry, in its sole discretion. Follow the instructions at the Website to complete the upload of your photo and submit your entry.

Photos may not include any copyrighted materials for which you do not own the rights or have permission from the owner, including trademark protected landmarks or scenery not in the public domain, music, brand names, logos, images, photographs, trademarks or other materials owned by a third party (or which you do not own). Entries must not contain material that violates or infringes another person or organization's rights, including but not limited to privacy, publicity or intellectual property rights, or that constitutes copyright infringement. In the event a photo depicts any of the aforementioned items, the entry will be disqualified. If for any reason an entry is not compliant with these Official Rules as solely determined by Sponsor, the entry will be disqualified from the Contest. All entries must be the original work of the entrant, never been previously published, must not infringe on any third party rights, and may not include content which is offensive, violent or suggests violence, derogatory, sexually suggestive, obscene, defamatory, explicit language or imagery or is otherwise inappropriate for publication in general circulation, or depicts the Sponsor and/or any of their products in a manner which is not consistent with its positive image and/or their approval trademark use. No other manufacturers' products are permitted in any submission. By entering the Contest, the entrant gives Sponsor the right to use, edit, or publish the entry without further compensation and winner assigns all rights, title and interest in the Submission to the Sponsor, and, if required, will sign any documents necessary to transfer copyright and rights of publicity. Submission of an entry further constitutes the entrant's consent to irrevocably assign and transfer to Sponsor any and all rights, title and interest in the entry, including, without limitation, all copyrights and rights of publicity. Winner may have to certify in writing that his/her entry was original and produced by the entrant and no other person or entity holds rights to entry. All entry materials become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned. Sponsor is not responsible for any change of email address, mailing address and/or phone number of entrants.

JUDGING PHASE: During the Judging Phase, all eligible entries received by the Submission Phase deadline will be judged by a judging panel comprised of designated individuals from the Sponsor's organization and its designees, whose decisions are final and binding, using the following judging criteria: creative use of forced perspective (i.e. How well does the entrant's hand, any other objects, and the background come together for the overall photo?; How creative is the subject and composition of the photo?") (20%); subject of epic-ness (i.e. How well does the photo show a scene that looks momentous or epic?") (20%); photo composition (i.e. What is the quality of the lighting, viewpoint, and the way the visual elements in the photo are arranged?") (20%); legibility (i.e. How well can you tell what is going on in the photo? Is the forced perspective coming through and telling a story in the photo?") (20%); and entertainment value (i.e. how compelling is the subject of the photo and story being told through the forced perspective?") (20%). Entries must include the entrant's use of forced perspective to show their "epically big hand". The entry that receives the highest score from the judging panel will be declared the Grand Prize winner – subject to eligibility verification. In the unlikely event of a tie, the winner will be entry with the highest score in the "creative use of forced perspective" judging criteria. The prize will be awarded in the name of the person listed on the entry provided he/she meets all eligibility requirements. In the event that the winner is determined to be ineligible for any reason or declines the prize – the prize will be forfeited and the entrant with the next highest score from the judging panel will be declared the Grand Prize winner – subject to verification. Grand Prize winner will be notified on or about 10/5/12 by email, phone and/or mail at Sponsor's discretion.
