3. How to Enter: To enter, you (the “Entrant”) must do the following:

First: Great Performances will post an image post on Facebook and Twitter asking fans to submit a photo of their favorite Andrea Bocelli record. This can be a photo that they’ve taken themselves, or an image they have found online/screenshot of their music player if they do not own a physical record. Entries must be submitted by commenting/replying to our original social post.

Second: Follow Great Performances on the platform(s) via which you submitted your Entry (Facebook or Twitter).

It is only necessary to post your photo to one platform, but you may post the photo to any or all of the above platforms.  You must post your photo from your own social media account.  By adding your photo to our post, you agree to these Rules.

You are limited to one Entry, but you may post the Entry on both Twitter and Facebook. If you post more than one Entry, only one Entry posted will be deemed an Entry for purposes of the Contest, in Sponsor’s discretion. The creation of multiple accounts to submit an Entry and any duplicate or repeat postings are discouraged.

You must be the sole and independent creator of the posted photo. No automated entry devices, software, and/or programs are permitted. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, illegible, stolen, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, misdirected, technically corrupted, or garbled entries, which will be disqualified, or for problems of any kind whether mechanical, human, or electronic.  Proof of submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor.  Entries that are incomplete or do not comply with these Rules will be disqualified. Internet or mobile usage and access charges imposed by your internet or mobile service provider may apply and are the sole responsibility of each Entrant.

4. Eligibility: You must be a legal resident of the fifty United States or District of Columbia who is at least 18 as of the date of entry.

Each Entrant selected as a winner must comply with all terms and conditions set forth in these Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all such requirements, including providing the Prize Acceptance Form (as defined below) by the date specified by Sponsor.  In the event that Entrant does not fulfill all such requirements, another winner may be selected by the Contest judges in accordance with the judging criteria from among the remaining Entries, in Sponsor’s sole discretion.

Sponsor may prohibit an Entrant from participating in the Contest or winning a prize if, in its sole discretion, it determines that said Entrant is attempting to undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest by cheating, hacking, deception, or other unfair practices (including the use of automated quick entry programs or intending to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any other Entrants or Sponsor’s representatives).  CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT BY AN ENTRANT TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE ANY WEBSITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE GIVEAWAY MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.  If any provision herein is determined invalid or unenforceable, these Rules will otherwise remain in effect and will continue unimpaired with full effect.  Sponsor’s failure to enforce any provision herein will not constitute waiver of that provision.
