ELIGIBILITY:  The Contest is open to legal residents of the 50 United States, D.C. and the United Kingdom, ages eighteen (18) or older at the time of entry. Employees, officers or directors of Sponsor, its affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, franchisees, distributors, advertising and promotion agencies (the “Contest Entities”), and the immediate families or household members of each, are ineligible to enter this Contest.

HOW TO ENTER:  Go to www.ralphlauren.com/world-of-rl-at-home-feat or download the Polo App and follow the instructions on how to enter.

One (1) entry per person only.  Duplicate submissions for an individual will be disqualified.  In the event two (2) or more people submit substantially similar Designs, only the earliest-received Design will count.

Proof of transmission is not proof of receipt. Sponsor’s designated computer is the only valid official time-keeping device for this Contest.  Incomplete, garbled or late entries are void. In the event of a dispute over the identity of an entrant, entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the submitting e-mail account.   "Authorized account holder" means the natural person assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address. Entries that do not comply with these Official Rules or otherwise contain prohibited, or inappropriate content, as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion, will be disqualified. Entries will not be acknowledged or returned. 

Sponsor may or may not further use, post or distribute any Design submitted by an entrant on online or offline media, in its discretion, but is not obligated to do so.  Sponsor reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine if any particular Design is appropriate for the Contest.  

JUDGING/WINNER SELECTION:   The winner selection process will be done in two (2) phases: (1) review by a panel of judges and (2) public voting. Details regarding the two (2) phases are described below.

Panel of Judges

Design submissions will be reviewed by a panel of judges who will select up to a maximum of ten (10) entries to proceed to the public voting round (“Finalists”). Fewer Finalists may be selected if there are not a sufficient number of submissions of sufficient quality as determined by the judges. The Finalists will be chosen based on the following criteria: (i) brand relevance (33%); (ii) artistic skills (33%); and (iii) creativity and originality (34%).

The decisions of the judging panel are final and binding. The Finalists will be selected on or about May 27, 2020.

Public Voting

The Finalists will then proceed to the public voting round.  The public voting round will take place via the Polo App starting at or about June 1, 2020 at 6:00 am ET / 11:00 am BST through June 4, 2020 at 11:59:59 pm ET / June 5, 2020 at 4:59:59 am BST. The Finalist receiving the most valid votes during the public voting round will be the potential Grand Prize Winner. Only one (1) vote per registered user of the Polo App and per Polo App account.  Duplicate votes by the same individual or account will be disqualified. Use of script, macro or any device to automate voting, hiring outsourced vote-farming services, paying for votes, or engaging in any other conduct deemed inappropriate, disruptive or unsportsmanlike as determined by Sponsor in its discretion, is prohibited, and any votes received through such means will be void. Any attempt by any voter or entrant to submit or solicit more than the stated number of votes by using multiple/different email addresses, Polo App accounts, identities, or any other method, will void that person’s votes and entry (if any), and he/she may be disqualified from further voting or other participation in the Contest.  

GRAND PRIZE WINNER NOTIFICATION: The potential Grand Prize Winner will be notified via email on or about June 8, 2020, with instructions on how to contact Sponsor.  Failure to contact Sponsor within five (5) days after such notification may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner. The potential Grand Prize Winner may be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility, prize/publicity release, and an assignment of rights to his/her Design within two (2) days after delivery of same to the potential Winner.  Failure to sign the required documents during this timeframe may result in disqualification and award of the Grand Prize Winner to an alternate winner.  If a potential eligible Grand Prize Winner is deemed a minor under the laws of his/her place of residence, documents must be signed by his or her parent or legal guardian.

GRAND PRIZE: One (1) Grand Prize is available: A Ralph Lauren gift card for US $500.00 (or a Ralph Lauren gift card for GBP 500, if Grand Prize Winner is a UK resident), plus the opportunity to have the winning Design made into a limited-edition Polo shirt to be sold by Sponsor with one hundred percent (100%) of the final purchase price donated by Sponsor to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, a global effort supporting countries to prevent, detect, and respond to the pandemic.  Sponsor reserves the right to determine if any of the Designs, including but not limited to the winning Design, is of sufficient quality to be included on a shirt to be sold by Sponsor.  In the event none of the Designs is of sufficient quality, Sponsor reserves the right not to include any of the Designs on any shirts.  In no event will the Grand Prize Winner be entitled to any payment of any kind with respect to the sale of any shirts incorporating his/her Design.
