with the names, addresses, phone numbers, and dates of birth of both

sent by 11:59pm EST on April 23, 2004. Submissions become the
property of Sponsor, and will not be acknowledged or returned.
3. Judging. In
the first round, a panel of judges (the “Panel”) consisting of the
writer/director/producer of the Film and two producers of the Film will
select ten (10) semi-finalist couples (the “Semi Finalists”) from all
eligible entries received based on the creativity of their Submissions.
If fewer than ten eligible couples enter the Contest, then all eligible
entrants shall be deemed Semi-Finalists. The Semi-Finalists will be
notified by email and telephone on or about Thursday, April 29, 2004. If
a Semi-Finalist couple does not respond within twenty-four (24) hours of
notification, Sponsor shall have the right to disqualify them and select
an alternate Semi-Finalist couple. The Semi-Finalists will then be
required to appear in-person for an interview with the Panel at a time
selected by Sponsor on April 29, 2004, as directed by Sponsor. If a Semi-Finalist couple is unable to
appear for an interview as directed by Sponsor, then Sponsor shall have
the right to disqualify them and select an alternate Semi-Finalist
couple. The Panel will select a winning couple based on each member’s
creativity and ability to present himself or herself in a manner that best
fits, in the Panel’s opinion, within the overall theme of the Film. The
winning couple will be notified by telephone and email on or about April
29, 2004. If a winning couple does not respond within twenty-four (24)
hours of notification, Sponsor shall have the right to disqualify them and
select an alternate winning couple. The decisions of the Panel in both
rounds are final and binding in all regards. The chances of winning
depend on the number of eligible entries received and the application of
the judging criteria to the Submissions.
