OFFICIAL RULES - NO PURCHASE NECESSARY
1. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
Step #1: Beginning 3/5/07, create a free Bix account and follow the on-screen directions to record (with your webcam or video camera) a video lip-sync performance. The video performance should be your most entertaining original lip-sync performance of Good Charlotte's latest single, "The River". The song can be streamed from Bix at http://bix.yahoo.com/goodcharlotte. Only one entry per contestant.
Step #2: Promote yourself! Share your Bix URL with your friends and family and ask them to create a free Bix account and vote for your video. Be sure to comply with the Bix Terms Of Service Agreement; noncompliance with this or any other Official Rule will result in disqualification.
2. VOTING:
Bix users will have the opportunity to cast one vote in the affirmative for each faceoff they feel is entertaining. The general voting period will end at 6:59pm ET on 5/8/07. On or about 5/9/07, Bix will total the number of eligible votes and award the prize to the winner, subject to verification of eligibility. In the event of a tie, tied entries will be judged by Sponsor to determine the most entertaining performance. If the same faceoff appears twice when voting only the latter vote will count.
3. PRIZE:
Prizes consist only of the items listed as the prize.
(1) Grand Prize (Estimated value: $250) - An autographed guitar and CD from Good Charlotte.
