4. Winner Selection. On or about the third week of each month, at the end of each Contest Entry Period set forth above, one (1) essay will be selected as the potential winner by a committee of qualified judges consisting of Sponsor, Dalco Roofing, and Senior Minor Home Repair Fund, Inc. staff as selected in Sponsor’s sole discretion, based on the following criteria (“Criteria”): (1) entry clarity and composition (25%); and (2) compelling reasons the Nominee deserves to win (75%). The Entry with the highest cumulative score for such Contest Entry Period will be designated the winning Entry of that Contest Period. All non-winning Entries from each Contest Entry Period will be considered in each subsequent Contest Entry Period. There will be a maximum of twelve (12) Grand Prize Winners.
5. Prize Description. Twelve (12) Grand Prizes: Subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, one (1) Grand Prize Winner each Contest Entry Period will receive an assessment and roof repair for their home from Dalco Roofing, valued at up to $12,000, including professional installation. Each winner of the Grand Prize must be a homeowner with the full rights to allow the installation of the Grand Prize, where Dalco Roofing will verify such homeownership through a property tax record search, and Winner must reside in the Greater Houston Area, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Each Winner’s home must not exceed 2,500 square feet. Each Winner’s receipt of Grand Prize is conditioned upon Winner’s agreement to and execution of Dalco Roofing’s roofing and installation terms and conditions (“Dalco Terms”) (as determined in Dalco Roofing’s sole discretion). If a selected Winner does not meet the specifications described above, or otherwise does not execute the Dalco Terms, Winner will be ineligible and Sponsor will use the Criteria to select a new Winner. Up to twelve (12) Grand Prize Winners will be selected.
Approximate retail value (“ARV”) of each Grand Prize to be awarded: $12,000.
ARV of all prizes to be awarded: $144,000.
The ARV of all prizes is subject to price fluctuations in the consumer marketplace based on, among other things, any gap in time between the date the ARV is estimated for purposes of these Official Rules and the date the prize is awarded or redeemed. Winners will not receive difference between the actual retail value at the beginning of the Contest and the actual retail value at the time of prize delivery.
Limit: One (1) prize per person and per household. All prizes must be redeemed within 12 months from date of award.

In order to win, the Nominator must respond to Sponsor’s notification at the time of notice or attempted notice. Sponsor and Nominator will confer on the appropriate method to contact the winning Nominee.
In order to claim a prize, potential winner must respond to Sponsor’s notification within forty-eight (48) hours of notice or attempted notice.
Potential winner may be required to complete an affidavit of eligibility, and a liability and publicity release (except where prohibited by law), which may need to be notarized and must be returned within five (5) business days of notification.
Sponsor’s inability to reach a potential winner after a reasonable (as solely determined by Sponsor) effort has been made, the failure of a potential winner to timely respond to a prize notification, the return of any prize notification as undeliverable, and/or a potential winner’s failure to comply with any term or condition of these Official Rules may, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, result in the potential winner’s disqualification and the selection of a substitute winner by a committee of qualified judges consisting of Sponsor, Dalco Roofing, and Senior Minor Home Repair Fund, Inc. staff as selected in Sponsor’s sole discretion based on the Criteria from among all remaining eligible entries received during the Contest Period. Sponsor will conduct up to three (3) alternate drawings, after which the prize will remain unawarded.
