        Prize

        Four (4) winners – one (1) first place winner, one (1) second place winner, one (1) third place winner, and one (1) people’s choice winner – will each receive a Costco Shop Card. The combined approximate retail value (ARV) for all prizes awarded in connection with the Promotion will be no greater than $3,000 (but may be less). Each prize will have a potential ARV as follows: first place, ARV $1,500; second place, ARV $800; third place, ARV $500; people’s choice, ARV $200. Prize will be shipped to the winner’s address around four (4) weeks after the end of the Promotion Period.

Odds of winning a prize depend on number of eligible entries received. All prizes will be awarded, except that prizes returned as undeliverable will be forfeited and will not be awarded to any winner. PRIZE WINNERS MUST BE PRESENT AT THE ANNOUNCEMENT TO WIN A PRIZE. No substitutions or exchanges (including for cash) of any prizes will be permitted, except that Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value for any prize. Limit one prize per person. All prizes are awarded “AS IS” and WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, express or implied, (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose). ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAXES ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECEIPT OR USE OF ANY PRIZE ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WINNER. Prizes may not be redeemed for cash, unless required by law.


          Promotion Rules

          Each submitted photograph must be taken by you during the Promotion Period. The photograph may in black and white or color, at your option. Only basic edits such as cropping or color, brightness and contrast adjustments are permitted. The photograph must be a factual representation of the photographed scene.


            Winner Selection

            Potential first place, second place, and third place winners will be selected by Ms. Scott shortly after the end of the Promotion Period. Ms. Scott’s decisions will be final based on the following criteria: (i) the most apt, interesting and original photo; (ii) technical excellence (including composition, use of design elements (e.g., shapes, form, lines, color, texture, space, and pattern) and good use of light) of the photograph; and (iii) overall impact. In addition, using the same criteria, Ms. Scott will select a pool of Submissions that guests aboard the Celebrity Eclipse may vote as the potential people’s choice winner, subject to final approval by Ms. Scott. Voting for the people’s choice winner will take place February 15, 2023 aboard ship at the location designated for the farewell party, as specified in your welcome letter upon day of embarkation. Limit one vote per guest. To claim a prize, each potential winner must follow the instructions given to him/her at the announcement.
