7. Determining the Finalists and Grand Prize Winner

Determining the Finalists:  After the conclusion of the Entry Period, each Submission will be reviewed by a panel of judges (the “Judges”) assembled by Sponsor, who will review and judge all eligible Submissions based on the following judging criteria (collectively, the “Judging Criteria”):

  • 3% originality;
  • 4% creativity; and
  • 3% the Submission that best represents a worthwhile reason for restoration for the vehicle that can be accomplished within the set budgetary constraints.

Based on the total score the Judges assign to each Submission using the Judging Criteria, up to ten (10) Submissions will be ultimately selected by the Judges and each individual who submitted a selected Submission will be a potential “Finalist,” subject to confirmation that the potential Finalist has met the eligibility requirements and complied with these Official Rules.  If there is a tie after the Judges apply the Judging Criteria, Sponsor will bring in a tie breaking Judge to apply the same Judging Criteria to break the tie and determine the Finalist.

Determining the Grand Prize Winner: Beginning on or about February 1, 2026 through February 15, 2026 (the “Public Voting Period”), up to ten (10) selected Finalist entries will be posted on https://www.instagram.com/coulsonaviation (the “Voting Website”) to be voted on by other users (“Users”).  Users must be thirteen (13) years of age or older to vote.  Users will be asked to vote for their favorite Submission.

During the Public Voting Period, Users may vote only once.  Users can vote by following the instructions to participate in the voting process.  Any entrant or other User offering or using, or attempting to use a “cheat,” payment, or other incentive (such as, the offer or acceptance of any benefit, compensation, gift or award in conjunction with voting or not voting for a given entry), or any other means to obtain votes or manipulate the results of the public voting may be disqualified and any votes earned by those means may be void, in Sponsor’s sole discretion.  If attempts are made to vote in excess of the stated limits or obtain votes by means other than as specifically set forth in this Section, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, disqualify any related entrant or votes.  Use of any automated, script, software, macro or robotic program or any other automated or improper means to submit or gain votes may result in the disqualification, in the sole discretion of the Sponsor, of the entry to which such votes relate, of the votes themselves, or both.  Sponsor shall have the sole discretion to institute policies, protocols and procedures designed to enforce the intent of such restriction. 

The Submission that receives the highest valid vote total during the Public Voting Period will receive a score of ten (10) points.  All other Submissions will be given a score for their valid vote totals in proportion to the Submission receiving the highest valid vote total.  For example, if the highest valid vote total received by a Submission is one hundred (100) valid votes, that Submission would receive ten (10) points for the “Public Voting” component of the total score.  As such, a Submission receiving twenty (20) valid votes during the Public Voting Period would then receive two (2) “Public Voting” points, since twenty (20) out of one hundred (100) valid votes is 1/5th of the highest valid public vote total.  For the avoidance of doubt, the “Public Voting” score is dependent upon the number of valid votes a Submission receives as well as the highest valid vote total received by any Submission during the Public Voting Period.

After the conclusion of the Public Voting Period, each Finalist Submission will then be reviewed by a team of three (3) Judges assembled by Sponsor, who will review and judge the up to ten (10) Finalist Submissions based on the Judging Criteria.  Each of the Judges will have twenty percent (20%) of the final score (i.e., the Judges control sixty (60%) of the final score assigned to each Finalist Submisssion) and the Public Vote will make up the last forty percent (40%) of the Finalist Submission’s score.  Based on the total combined score the Judges assign to each Submission plus the Public Voting score, the individual with the highest combined total score will be the one (1) winning Submission and the individual Finalist who submitted that Submission will be the potential “Grand Prize Winner”, subject to confirmation that the Grand Prize Winner has met the eligibility requirements and complied with these Official Rules.  In the event of a tie during the Grand Prize Winner selection process, the Sponsor will break the tie using the highest ranking Finalist Submission in the “creativity” category.  If there still remains a tie, Sponsor will bring in a tie-breaking Judge to apply the same Judging Criteria to determine the potential Grand Prize Winner.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Finalists who are not determined to be the Grand Prize Winner will not be awarded a prize of any kind. 

8. Finalist and Grand Prize Winner Notification

The potential Finalists will be notified on or about January 29, 2026.  The Grand Prize Winner will be notified by mail, email and/or other method (as selected by Sponsor) on or about March 1, 2026, unless extended by Sponsor.  The Sponsor is not responsible for false, incorrect, changed, incomplete or illegible contact information.  Notification is deemed to have occurred immediately upon sending of an email or other electronic message, one (1) day after sending via a delivery service or two (2) days after mailing.  The potential Grand Prize Winner may be required to execute and return an affidavit of eligibility, a liability release, a publicity release and services and performances agreements (collectively, “Prize Acceptance Documents”) within five (5) days of date of issuance.  As part of completing the Prize Acceptance Documents, the Grand Prize Winner may be required to provide proof of vehicle ownership of the vehicle that appears in the winning Submission.  If such documents are not returned within the specified time period, a prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, Sponsor is unable to contact the potential Grand Prize Winner or the potential Grand Prize Winner is not in compliance with these Official Rules, the prize(s) will be forfeited and, at Sponsor’s discretion, an alternate winner selected.

Non-compliance shall result in disqualification and award of the prize(s) to an alternate winner.  If the potential Grand Prize Winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules, or declines a prize for any reason prior to award, such potential Grand Prize Winner may be disqualified and an alternate potential winner may be selected.  The Sponsor is not responsible for and shall not be liable for late, lost, damaged, intercepted, misdirected, or unsuccessful efforts to notify the potential Grand Prize Winner.

9. Prizes and Values

Sponsor will be awarding the Grand Prize Winner one (1) “Grand Prize” consisting of having their vehicle that was damaged during the 2024-2025 California wildfires refurbused with a budget of up to $100,000.00 (which includes the cost for all time/labor/parts and associated costs).  Grand Prize Winner will be permitted to work with Sponsor with respect to the design plan for refurbishment of their vehicle; provided any such plans must be within the budget and agreed to by Sponsor. Sponsor will work with Grand Prize Winner to the extent the Grand Prize Winner wants to incorporate upgrades into their vehicle’s functionality provided such upgrades must fall within the budget and Sponsor can accomplish the work within a reasonable timeframe. Once the vehicle is fully refurbished, Grand Prize Winner will not receive delivery of the vehicle until the unveiling of the vehicle at the 2026 LA Auto Show Media Day, taking place on November 19, 2026.  Grand Prize Winner will be required to acknowledge that they will not receive their vehicle back until after the LA Auto Show. To the extent after vehicle examination, Sponsor determines that the vehicle cannot be restored due to defects within the stated budget, Sponsor reserves the right to cancel the restoration in its sole discretion. To the extent that Sponsor damages the Grand Prize Winner’s vehicle during restoration  such that it is unable to be restored or it is unable to get it into working condition for any reason, Sponsor will have no responsibility or liability in connection therewith. 

Prize is non-transferable, with no cash redemptions, equivalents or substitutions except at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.  All prize details not specified in these Official Rules will be determined in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.  Prize details and availability are subject to change and prize provider’s rules and restrictions, and in the event that Sponsor is unable to provide the winner with his/her prizes, the Sponsor may elect, to provide the winner with the approximate value of such item in cash or award an alternate prize of comparable or greater value.  In the event a winner engages in behavior that (as determined by Sponsor or any prize provider in its or their sole and absolute discretion) is obnoxious, inappropriate, or threatening, illegal or that is intended to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person, Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the right to receive a prize, including ending any applicable experience early. Decisions regarding the conduct of the winner in all aspects of their participation in the prize event/activity will be in the sole discretion of Sponsor, and any of Sponsor’s representatives and final and binding in all respects. Grand Prize Winner may be removed or disqualified from participating in any aspect of the prize for any reason at any time, including, without limitation, creating an unauthorized disturbance, interruption or unnecessarily rough physical contact, creating the potential for injury or property damages, or for any unhealthy, unsafe, unlawful, or inappropriate act.  If the Grand Prize Winner, in the opinion of Sponsor or any of Sponsor’s representatives, is considered a physical or mental threat to the well-being of any other individual, he/she may be removed from any premises relating to the prize and Grand Prize Winner consents to such removal. The Grand Prize Winner is strictly prohibited from selling, auctioning, trading or otherwise transferring the vehicle associated with the Grand Prize unless Sponsor consents in writing, for a period of five (5) years after delivery of the refurbished vehicle unless otherwise agreed to by Sponsor. In the event that the vehicle is transferred before the five (5) years, the Grand Prize Winner shall reimburse the Sponsor the funds that were advanced for the restoration.  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).  Grand Prize Winner will be solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes, and for any other fees or costs associated with the prizes they receive, regardless of whether they, in whole or in part, are used.  The ARV of the Grand Prize is based on available information provided to Sponsor and the value of any prize awarded to the Grand Prize Winner may be reported for tax purposes as required by law.  The Grand Prize Winner may be required to provide Sponsor with a valid social security number before the prizes will be awarded for tax reporting purposes.  An IRS Form 1099 will be issued in the name of Grand Prize Winner for the actual value of the Grand Prize received.  Unclaimed prizes will be forfeited. 

The total ARV of all of the prizes awarded in this Contest is up to $100,000 (USD).

BY ENTERING THE CONTEST, ENTRANT AGREES THAT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (A) ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THE CONTEST, OR ANY PRIZE AWARDED, WILL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY, WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION; (B) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS AND AWARDS WILL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL THIRD-PARTY, OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS INCURRED (IF ANY) NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), BUT IN NO EVENT WILL ATTORNEYS’ FEES BE AWARDED OR RECOVERABLE; AND (C) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY ENTRANT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN ANY AWARD FOR, AND ENTRANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO SEEK, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS AND/OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, OTHER THAN ACTUAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), AND/OR ANY RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED.  SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. 

15. Dispute Resolution

The parties each agree to finally settle all disputes only through arbitration; provided, however, the Sponsor shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts in Los Angeles County, California and any other court with jurisdiction over the parties.  In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited.  The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.  The parties agree that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Contest shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the streamlined Arbitration Rules Procedures of JAMS Inc. (“JAMS”) or any successor to JAMS.  In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a “Demand for Arbitration”, then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service.  If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in Los Angeles County, California.  The federal or state law that applies to these Official Rules will also apply during the arbitration.  Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles County, California.  Sponsor agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of entrant to attend the arbitration hearing).  Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court.

16. No Obligation to Use

Sponsor shall have no obligation (express or implied) to use any or to otherwise exploit any Submission or, if commenced, to continue the distribution or exploitation thereof, and Sponsor may at any time abandon the use of the Submission for any reason, with or without legal justification or excuse, and entrants shall not be entitled to any damages or other relief by reason thereof.

17. Dates and Deadlines / Anticipated Number of Contestants

Because of the unique nature and scope of the Contest, Sponsor reserves the right, in addition to those other rights reserved herein, to modify any date(s) or deadline(s) set forth in these Official Rules or otherwise governing the Contest.  Sponsor cannot accurately predict the number of entrants who will participate in the Contest.

18. Further Documentation

If Sponsor shall desire to secure additional assignments, certificates of engagement for the Submission or other documents as Sponsor may reasonably require in order to effectuate the purposes and intents of these Official Rules, then entrant agrees to sign the same upon Sponsor’s request therefor.

22. Miscellaneous

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules or the Prize Acceptance Documents will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.  In the event that any provision of the Official Rules or the Prize Acceptance Documents is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein.  Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that provision.  Entrants agree to waive any rights to claim ambiguity of these Official Rules.  Headings are solely for convenience of reference and will not be deemed to affect in any manner the meaning or intent of the documents or any provision hereof.  In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Contest-related materials, privacy policy or terms of use on the Contest Website and/or the terms and conditions of the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail, govern and control.
