physical and emotional level. By completing the registration and submitting

Content Restrictions as defined below (collectively, the “Guidelines and

for one (1) from a major airport near winner’s home (determined by Sponsor in
its sole discretion) to the photo shoot destination (determined by Sponsor in
its sole discretion); two (2) nights accommodations at a hotel of Sponsor’s
choice (single room, double occupancy); and the opportunity to participate

dates specified by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Travel must be roundtrip. Sponsor will determine airline and flight itinerary in its
sole discretion. No refund or
compensation will be made in the event of the cancellation or delay of any

airport fees, service charges or facility charges, personal charges at lodging,
security fees, taxes or other expenses are the responsibility solely of
winner. Travel restrictions,
conditions and limitations may apply.
If winner is a minor in his/her state of residence, his/her parent
legal guardian may be required to complete documentation determined by Sponsor
in its sole discretion permitting him/her to travel alone. If, in the judgment of Sponsor,
air travel is not required due to winner’s proximity to prize location, ground
transportation may be substituted for roundtrip air transportation at Sponsor’s
sole discretion. Sponsor will not replace any lost, mutilated, or stolen
tickets, travel vouchers or certificates.
Sponsor is not responsible if photo shoot is delayed, postponed or
cancelled for any reason, in which event that portion of prize is forfeited in
its entirety and no substitution will be provided except as in Sponsor’s sole
