HOW TO ENTER: During the Entry Period, visit the participating blog URLs listed in the below chart (the "Sweepstakes Blogs") and follow the instructions available at each Sweepstakes Blog (including posting a comment) to receive one (1) entry for that corresponding Sweepstakes Blog Grand Prize ONLY. You must enter at each Sweepstakes Blog to be eligible for each Sweepstakes Blog Grand Prize.
Limit: One (1) entry per person, per Sweepstakes Blog specifically relating to the content (any posts not relating to the content, as determined by Related Parties in their sole discretion, will not count towards an entry). Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the permitted number of entries by using multiple and/or different identities, forms, registrations, addresses or any other method will void that entrant's entries, and that entrant may be disqualified at Related Parties' discretion. Entries must be submitted by the participant. You must provide all required information to be eligible to enter to win a prize. Normal Internet access, phone and usage charges imposed by your on-line or phone service may apply. Use of automated entries or programs or entries submitted by third parties is prohibited and will be disqualified. Incomplete, corrupted, or untimely entries are void and will be disqualified. Proof of sending or submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Related Parties. All comments must be the sole, original work of the entrants. Any entry or portion thereof that is, in the Sponsors' or Related Parties' sole discretion, obscene, profane, lewd, defamatory or otherwise violates or infringes (or may infringe) any proprietary right of any person living or deceased (including but not limited to rights of privacy or publicity or portrayal in a false light) or entity, or is otherwise objectionable, will not be considered and may disqualify the entrant. Entrants may not copy or otherwise plagiarize their comment from any source. Entrants and winners acknowledge and agree that their entries (including comments) become the property of the Related Parties, who thereby have the right to edit, adapt, modify, reproduce, promote and otherwise use entries (or excerpts of comments) in any way they see fit. Any entry not in compliance with the above or which does not meet all the Sweepstakes rules may be disqualified. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same e-mail address. Entries will be attributed to the authorized account holder of the e-mail address submitted during registration. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an entrant, the authorized account holder of the e-mail address used to enter will be deemed to be the registrant or participant. The "authorized account holder" is the natural person assigned an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, Internet service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Winning participants may be required to provide Related Parties with proof that the claimed winner is the authorized account holder of the e-mail address associated with the winning entry, or forfeit the prize. Entries specifying an invalid, non-working, or inactive e-mail address will be disqualified and ineligible to win. 4. PRIZES: Two (2) Grand Prizes will be

6. WINNER SELECTION: The Grand Prize winners will be selected in separate random drawings (one per Sweepstakes Blog) to be conducted on or about July 21, 2011, from among all eligible entries received from each Sweepstakes Blog during the Entry Period.
