5. SELECTION OF WINNERS

5 winners for the Apprentice challenge will be selected amongst the entrants who have solved the Apprentice challenge with the lowest number of moves at the end of the Contest Period. In the event of a tie, the winners will be selected at random from the pool of qualifying entries. 5 winners will be selected for the Grandmaster challenge in a similar manner. The winners will be selected solely based on the number of moves used to solve each challenge. Hence, the same contestant can win multiple prizes. However, to avoid repeated identical solution from the same contestant, only one solution with a specific number of moves will be considered for each contestant.

Also prizes will be offered for:

1)   Two best tweets about iQubePuzzle (one on OpenStudy’s twitter page & one on iQubePuzzle's page)
2)   Two best Facebook posts about iQubePuzzle (one on OpenStudy’s FB page & one on iQubePuzzle's page)
3)   Two most useful feedbacks on the game sent to support@cellucid.com 
4)   Five best reviews on the Apple app store. Name should match with that used in the entry form or OpenStudy userID

During the contest, Leader-board is available to see who you are contesting against! 

The prize will be applied/awarded to the entrant based on correct submission of credentials of the winning entry and submission to one of the social media networks mentioned above. Prize cannot be transferred to another individual. Winner will be notified by available means. The winner will be required to sign and return affidavits of compliance and eligibility, a liability release, and where lawful, a publicity release and agree to do a testimonial or case study within 14 days of notification, or the winner's prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner.

Sponsor may require a winner to provide proof that he or she is the authorized account holder of the account(s) used to participate in the Contest in the form of a valid Driver's License or other ID. Authorized Account Holder is defined as the natural person who is assigned to the account by the organization that is responsible for assigning accounts described above.
