What are the official rules for Behance Contests?

To provide fair and equal chance of winning to all Behance members, the following are the official rules for all contests on Behance websites.

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. PURCHASE WILL NOT IMPROVE CHANCES OF WINNING.

All winners must be 18 years of age or older, unless otherwise stated and/or posted.

1. Entering Contests and Choosing and Contacting Winners
Winners of Behance LLC contests will either be chosen by number of votes, by judges, or by a combination of both (as specified in contest).

Entrants must send entries using the correct contest entry circle outlined in the contest details. Behance LLC is not responsible for and will not consider incomplete or incorrect entries.

Winners of all contests will be contacted through their Behance profile that was used to enter the contest, and the person receiving and replying to the winner announcement email will be considered the winner unless they specify another person within the reply email as the winner. Behance LLC will mail the contest prize to the address supplied by the recipient of the winner announcement email.

Claiming of prizes requires a message response to Behance LLC from the winning profile within 30 days of being notified of winning. Failure to respond shall mean that the winner forfeits the prize. Behance LLC is not required to award elsewhere any prizes forfeited by the chosen winner(s).
