Each Photograph must be unique and an entrant cannot submit the same Photograph more than once. All entries must be completed and received by Sponsor by no later than 5:59:59 p.m. ET on April 14, 2013. Proof of submission does not constitute proof of entry. Entry times will be determined using Sponsor's computer, which will be the official clock for the Contest.

All entries are subject to verification at any time.

Failure to provide such proof to the satisfaction of Sponsor in a timely manner may result in disqualification.

3. PHOTOGRAPH SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: All Photographs must comply with the following guidelines: (a) the Photograph must not exhibit the entrant engaging in or otherwise promoting any unsafe, illegal, illicit, violent or dangerous behavior; (b) the Photograph must be original; (c) if the entrant does not own the copyright in the Photograph (e.g., if the Photograph was taken by someone other than the entrant), the entrant must have, prior to submission, obtained written consent from the owner of the copyright in the Photograph to the use by the Contest Entities (as defined in Section 6) of the Photograph as permitted hereunder; (d) the Photograph must not previously have been published for commercial purposes or won any award; (e) the Photograph must not depict or refer to any brand or trademark other than Red Lobster; (f) the Photograph must not contain any material that is defamatory, threatening, indecent, violent, obscene or offensive, or that promotes a political agenda; (g) the Photograph must not contain any material that violates or infringes upon the rights of any third party, including without limitation copyrights, trademarks or rights of privacy or publicity, or that is unlawful, in violation of or contrary to any applicable laws or regulations, or whose use by the Contest Entities requires a license or permission from or payment to any third party; (h) if the Photograph identifies or depicts any person other than the entrant, the entrant must have prior to submission obtained written consent from such person (or his or her parent or legal guardian, if the person identified or depicted is a minor) to the use by the Contest Entities of the Photograph including such person's name, image and/or other identifying information, as applicable, as permitted hereunder; and (i) the Photograph must not contain any material that Sponsor, in its sole discretion, deems inappropriate for public viewing and/or for posting on the Website. By submitting a Photograph, the entrant represents and warrants that he or she has complied with all of the foregoing requirements and has obtained all permissions, licenses and consents that are necessary for the submission of the Photograph and the use of the Photograph as permitted pursuant to Section 6 of these Official Rules and to verify compliance with the foregoing requirements. Each entrant agrees to provide to Sponsor at Sponsor's request copies of all such permissions, licenses and consents. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify and/or not to post on the Website any Photograph that Sponsor determines does not comply with these guidelines, to make such changes to any Photograph as are necessary to make it compliant, or to require the entrant to do so.

   Photographs are not confidential. Sponsor will have the right to exhibit Photographs on the Website and to otherwise make Photographs available publicly as permitted pursuant to these Official Rules.

4. WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION: For purposes of selecting the potential winners, the Entry Period will be divided into a series of six (6) consecutive periods (each a "Weekly Period"). Each Weekly Period will begin at 12:00 a.m. ET on a Monday and end at 11:59 p.m. ET on the following Sunday, except for the first Weekly Period, which will begin at 9:00 a.m. ET on March 4, 2013 and end at 11:59 p.m. ET on March 10, 2013 and the last Weekly Period, which will begin at 12:00 a.m. ET on April 8, 2013 and end at 5:59 p.m. ET on April 14, 2013. Following the conclusion of each Weekly Period, one (1) potential winner will be selected by judges designated by Sponsor (the "Judges") from among all eligible Photographs received during that Weekly Period, by applying the following criteria (the "Judging Criteria"), equally weighted: (a) creativity; (b) humor; and (c) overall impression. In the event of a tie, the tie will be broken based on the tied entrants' "overall impression" score, and in the event of a further tie, by the tied entrants' "creativity" score. Non-winning entries with respect to a Weekly Period will not be carried forward to subsequent Weekly Periods. The odds of winning depend on the number and quality of eligible entries received during each Weekly Period. The potential winners may be notified by mail, telephone and/or e-mail, at Sponsor's discretion. The potential winners are subject to verification. The potential winners may in Sponsor's discretion be required to complete and return to Sponsor an Affidavit of Eligibility/Release of Liability, and, if legally permissible, a Publicity Release (collectively, a "Declaration and Release" for residents of Canada) within three (3) days of attempted delivery of same. If a potential winner cannot be reached within seventy-two (72) hours of the initial notification attempt (Sponsor reserves the right not to leave messages on voice mail or answering machines), or fails to respond to any notification attempt within the time period specified by Sponsor, or if any attempted notification or prize delivery is returned as undeliverable, or if a potential winner fails to complete and return any required documentation within three (3) days of attempted delivery of same, or if a potential winner does not otherwise comply with these Official Rules and/or cannot accept the applicable prize as awarded for any reason, then the potential winner may be disqualified and an alternate winner may, at Sponsor's discretion, be selected for the applicable prize from among the remaining eligible entries as specified in these Official Rules (in which case the foregoing provisions will apply to such newly-selected entrant).

5. PRIZES: Six (6) prizes will be offered (one for each Weekly Period). Each prize consists of (a) one Red Lobster eGift card (in the U.S. only) or physical gift card, as determined by Sponsor in its discretion, with a face value of $100 (awarded in the currency of the winner's jurisdiction of residence) and (b) one Red Lobster t-shirt (style and size determined by Sponsor; Sponsor will attempt to fulfill specific size requests but cannot guarantee that it will be able to do so). The approximate retail value ("ARV") of each prize is $105.50. All prize details will be determined by Sponsor in its discretion. The total ARV of all prizes is $633. The prizes will be awarded if properly claimed. No substitution, cash redemption or transfer of the right to receive a prize is permitted, except in the discretion of Sponsor, which reserves the right to substitute a prize (or a component thereof) with a prize or prizes of equal or greater value. Prizes consist only of those items expressly specified in these Official Rules as being part of the prize.

In the case of a Canadian selected entrant, he/she will be required to correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question without mechanical or other aid to be administered via telephone, email or another manner determined by Sponsor in its discretion at a pre-arranged mutually convenient time. If a potential winner cannot be reached within seventy-two (72) hours of the initial notification attempt (Sponsor reserves the right not to leave messages on voice mail or answering machines), or fails to respond to any notification attempt within the time period specified by Sponsor, or if any attempted notification or prize delivery is returned as undeliverable, or if a potential winner fails to complete and return any required documentation within three (3) days of attempted delivery of same, or if a potential winner does not otherwise comply with these Official Rules (including the requirement to correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question if a Canadian) and/or cannot accept the applicable prize as awarded for any reason, then Sponsor will have the right in its discretion to disqualify the potential winner and select an alternate winner for the applicable prize from among the remaining eligible entries as outlined in these Official Rules (in which case the foregoing will apply to such newly-selected entrant).
