Creating an Instagram Account is free. By submitting your information and creating an Instagram Account, you will be required to agree to the Instagram terms of service and privacy policy. If you do not agree to Instagram’s terms of service and privacy policy, you cannot create an Instagram Account or participate in this Promotion. After you have an Instagram Account, log in to your Instagram Account, and become a follower of the @CadburyUSA Instagram account located at https://www.instagram.com/CadburyUSA (the “Instagram Website”).

    For your Entry to be considered valid, be sure you are following Sponsor’s Instagram Account, include the hashtag #CadburyBunnyContest, and tag @CadburyUSA. Entries made using the Instagram Story functionality are not eligible for entry in this Promotion. Sponsor may not receive Entries that fail to strictly follow the exact instructions set forth in these Official Rules and Sponsor is not responsible for failure to see or receive an Entry. NOTE: Sponsor may not receive Entries from Instagram users with “private” account settings (i.e., user has set their Instagram Account so that only people the user has approved can view their photos) due to the way Instagram operates its service. Be sure your account is set to public. Sponsor, at its sole discretion, may accept a technically incorrect unique hashtag term. Entries not received by Sponsor will not be entered into the Promotion. By participating as described above, you are confirming your acceptance of and agreement to these Official Rules.

An entrant may return on a subsequent day during the Promotion Entry Period to submit an Entry of a different pet.
  4. SEMI-FINALIST JUDGING PERIOD: During the Semi-Finalists Judging Period, a judging panel comprised of Administrator’s representatives (“Judges”) will score each eligible Entry up to the maximum number of points allowed, to determine the thirty-two (32) top-scoring Entries (each, a “Semi-Finalist”). Judging will be based on the following criteria:
    1. 30%: Relevance to Promotion theme (showing off your pet in bunny ears)
    2. 30%: Creativity
    3. 40%: Cadbury Brand appeal

    In the event of any ties in determining a potential Semi-Finalist, the Entry with the highest score in Cadbury Brand appeal will prevail. In the event there are still any ties, the tied Entries will be judged again and the Entry with the highest overall score will prevail. If any Semi-Finalist is found to be ineligible or does not comply with these Official Rules, he/she will be disqualified and the Entry with the next highest score will be named the Semi-Finalist. Administrator’s, Judges’, and Sponsor’s decisions shall be final and binding in all matters pertaining to the judging and selection of the Semi-Finalists. In no event will there be more than thirty-two (32) Semi-Finalists.

    Semi-Finalists will be notified by the Sponsor via Direct Message from @CadburyUSA within twenty-four (24) hours after the Semi-Finalist Judging Phase ends (“Semi-Finalist Notification”). If a Semi-Finalist fails to respond to the Semi-Finalist Notification within twenty-four (24) hours or the Semi-Finalist otherwise fails to comply with these Official Rules, his/her Entry will be disqualified and the Entry with the next highest score will be selected as a Semi-Finalist. As part of the Semi-Finalist notification process, each potential Semi-Finalist will be required to provide their contact information, including full name, complete street address (no P.O.

    There will be thirty-two (32) initial Semi-Finalist Entries at the beginning of Round 1, and the following Rounds proceed until the one (1) winner is determined. Semi-Finalist Entries will be matched in each Round by Sponsor in its sole discretion. The one (1) Semi-Finalist Entry in each Matchup with the most votes, subject to verification by Sponsor, will be deemed the Round winner for that Matchup and move forward to the next Round. In the event of a tie in votes, the Judges will review the tied Semi-Finalist Entries and determine the Round winner based on the criteria set forth above.

    To vote during the Public Voting Period, you must be a legal resident of the fifty (50) United States (excluding Puerto Rico) and the District of Columbia, eighteen (18) years of age or older, and with a valid Instagram Account, at the time of voting.

Each voter may vote one (1) time per day per Matchup during the Voting Phase. Votes received from any person or Instagram Account in excess of this limitation will be void. Votes generated by script, bot, macro or other automated means are void. Voting must be completed by the actual person casting the vote. A person may not vote on behalf of another person. Subsequent votes per Matchup during each Round by a single voter or Instagram Account will be disqualified. Votes intended to impact the integrity of the voting process as determined by Sponsor in Sponsor’s sole discretion are void. Payment or other consideration in exchange for votes is prohibited and if a Semi-Finalist does provide, or is suspected of providing, payment or other consideration in exchange for votes directly or indirectly, he/she will be disqualified.

    At the end of the Public Voting Period, Sponsor will audit and review votes to ensure proper integrity was maintained. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any Entry it suspects of acting in an unsportsmanlike manner during the entire Promotion Period, including, but not limited to, encouraging voting fraud, making inappropriate comments on the Sponsor’s or other’s Instagram Accounts, or otherwise not acting in compliance with these Official Rules, in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.

If the winner’s pet is unable to sit for the commercial, then the potential winner forfeits the entire Grand Prize. In no event will more than the stated number of prizes set forth in these Official Rules be awarded.

No prize substitution or exchange will be allowed, except by Sponsor, who reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value in case of unavailability of a prize. By accepting a prize, each winner agrees that he/she will not disclose or reveal to any person that he/she has been selected as the winner and/or any details about the prize or prize components until advised by the Sponsor. If a Semi-Finalist or winner discloses or reveals to any person that he/she has been selected as a Semi-Finalist/the winner and/or any details about a prize or prize components before advised by Sponsor, he/she may be disqualified.
  9. WINNER NOTIFICATION: Each Round winner will be subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. Within twenty-four (24) hours after the end of Round 5 of the Public Voting Period, each potential Round 3, Round 4, and Round 5 winner will be notified via email and/or telephone using the information disclosed at the time of Notification.

Failure to provide all required information within the stated time period may result in forfeiture of a Semi-Finalist or winner’s right to claim a prize and may result in the prize being awarded to an alternate Semi-Finalist/winner, if time permits. The potential Grand Prize winner may be subject to a background check and verification of the pet before the Grand Prize is awarded. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify the potential winner based on the results of such background check if Sponsor determines in its sole discretion that awarding the Grand Prize to any such individual might reflect negatively on the Sponsor. Upon verification of eligibility, the winner will be contacted regarding Grand Prize fulfillment and Sponsor will coordinate travel to the winner’s home to film the television commercial. The check portion of prizes will be mailed to each Semi-Finalist/winner at the address provided at the time of Notification (PO Boxes not allowed). The Promotion Entities shall not be held responsible for any delays in awarding the prizes for any reason. If a potential Semi-Finalist/winner is found to be ineligible, is not in compliance with these Official Rules, declines to accept a prize, or any Notification/winner notification is returned as undeliverable or the potential Semi-Finalist/winner fails to respond to a winner notification within the timeframe specified in such winner notification, or if a potential Semi-Finalist does not answer the initial Notification, such prize may be forfeited. If the Grand Prize is forfeited for any reason, the other Entry from the Round 5 matchup will be named the alternate potential winner. If any prize is unclaimed, unredeemed or any portion thereof returned as undeliverable, it will be forfeited. Prizes are not transferable and include only the items specifically listed as part of such prize. Any portion of a prize not accepted by a Semi-Finalist/winner will be forfeited. All Round prize and Grand Prize winners shall be solely responsible for payment of any and all applicable federal, state, and local taxes for the prize won. Approximate retail value is as of the time these Official Rules were printed and the value of the prize may fluctuate. All other costs and expenses not expressly set forth herein shall be solely the winner’s responsibility. Each prize will only be awarded to a verified Semi-Finalist/winner.
