Voting: Anyone who visits the SugarLoot website may view and rate Entries on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest point on the scale. Such voting will be used to determine the winners of the Voters' Choice awards (defined below).

Winner Selections: Five (5) Grand Prize winners will be selected on September 21 by WP from among the pool of all eligible entries based on the following judging criteria: Screen Presence (33-1/3%), Talent (33-1/3%) and Compatibly with the film's character pool (33-1/3%). Entrants need not be present to win. Judging will be done by WP designated judges whose decisions are final and not appealable. The WP judges shall not consider the number of votes achieved by a contestant in their determination.

As a separate promotion activity and not subject to judging, "Voters' Choice" awards will be made. The top sixty five (65) Entrants garnering the highest score ("Voters' Choices") will be awarded "Voters' Choice - First Prize" through "Voters' Choice - Fourth Prize" awards based on the below voting formula. In the event WP selects as a Grand Prize winner an Entrant who is a Voters' Choice, then such selected Entrant shall not be considered for a Voters' Choice award and the next closest vote-getter will be granted such Voters' Choice award. In determining a Voters' Choice, the top rated videos will be determined by the highest average score, calculated by adding the rating of each individual vote and dividing that number by the total number of votes. Videos must have a minimum of 100 votes in order to be eligible for the award of a prize other than the Grand Prize. In the event of a tie for a Voters' Choice prize, a panel of judges selected by Sponsor will determine the Voters' Choice based on the judging criteria for a Grand Prize winner.
