a. Voting Phase: During the Voting Phases (Phases 2 through 5) all qualifying Submissions from the respective Phases will be posted in an online gallery on the dates listed in the chart above in Section 4 for public voting at http://www.tastelift.coffee-mate.com. Persons who meet the eligibility criteria as set forth in Section 1 will be invited to vote for the Submission they believe has the most public appeal. Non-winning entries will carry over into subsequent Phases. The Submission with the highest number of votes from each respective Phase will be the Weekly Winner ("Weekly Winner") of that Phase. Limit: Each person may vote one (1) time per day during the Voting Phases. Multiple votes received from any person or email address in excess of the stated number will be void. Any attempt by any entrant or voter to obtain more than the stated number of votes by any fraudulent or inappropriate means, including without limitation, offering prizes or other inducements to members of the public as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, by using any automated program, by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods, will void those votes for the entrant's Submission and entrant may be disqualified as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Subject to the entrant's compliance with these Official Rules, the entrant whose Submission receives the highest number of valid votes during the respective Voting Phase will be deemed the potential Weekly Winner of that Phase. In the event of a tie, the entrant whose Submission received the highest number of votes first, as determined by the qualified judges in their sole discretion, will be deemed the potential winner from amongst the tied entrants. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to select an alternate Phase winner should the voting appear to have been tampered with or manipulated in any way.
