VIDEO MAY NOT INCLUDE PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 18
Each Applicant must submit an original Video (DO NOT COPY OTHERS’ WORKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART). If any other persons appear in or were involved in the creation of your Video (including without limitation person(s) who appear in a Video and/or if anyone was involved in shooting the Video), you agree that prior to submitting your Video, you have obtained the written consent of each such person, granting Sponsor and its designees the use of each person’s name, biographical information, image and/or likeness for advertising, publicity and promotional purposes in any and all media, now or hereafter known, worldwide and on the Internet (including without limitation, for posting on the Contest Website in connection with the Contest), and in perpetuity by Sponsor and its designees, without compensation (except to the extent prohibited by law) or additional consents and without prior notice, approval or inspection, and to execute specific written consent to such use if asked to do so. Sponsor reserves the right to request proof of these permissions in a form acceptable to Sponsor from you at any time. Failure to provide such proof, if requested, may result in your disqualification, at Sponsor’s sole discretion. If the Video includes other persons, those persons must not be under the age of 18, and Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify Applicant’s entire Application if Applicant has not obtained the written consent of each person included in the Video prior to submission. For the avoidance of doubt, permissions are not required in instances where images of crowds of people or unidentifiable people in the background in a Video may appear. Do NOT include personal information (e.g., your address, e-mail address or phone number) in the Video itself as the Video may be posted in conjunction with your participation in the Contest as detailed below. In addition, the Application must be truthful.
Video file attachment must not run more than two (2) minutes in total length and may be recorded on a smart phone, camera or any other recording device, in one of the following major video formats: MP4 and MOV.

Partial or incomplete/piecemeal submissions, submissions without a Video, submissions with music, or Video submissions longer than two (2) minutes in length will NOT be accepted. Should a prospective Applicant’s Video not meet one or more of the criteria above, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to contact such prospective Applicant and allow him/her to resubmit his/her Video and thereby enter the Contest. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in any way obligates Sponsor to extend the opportunity to a prospective Applicant to resubmit his/her Video; and, Sponsor will not incur any liability under any legal theory for not extending such opportunity to a given prospective Applicant for any reason. Further, resubmission of a Video does not mean that such Video will receive any different treatment and does not improve your chances of winning. If an Applicant is allowed to resubmit his/her Video, such Video will then continue through the Contest process as described below. Sponsor will not incur any liability under any legal theory if such resubmitted Video is not selected to become a Finalist.
The Video submission and any additional information provided by Applicant when submitting the Video are the “Video Submission Information.” An “Application” consists of an individual’s Application Information and Video Submission Information.
Limit one (1) Application per person during the APPLICATION Period. Multiple entries in excess of this limitation or mass Application attempts will result in disqualification of all entries by such person. Entries must be manually key-stroked; use of automated entry devices or programs is prohibited. Once submitted, an Application cannot be modified by Applicant, and will not be returned. Personal information collected in connection with this Contest will be treated in accordance with Sponsor’s privacy policy, available at: https://crewfare.com/privacy.
During the Application process, you will be asked to consent to receive emails and Contest reminders from Sponsor. Consenting to receive these emails is optional and does not have to be agreed upon in order to be eligible to participate in the Contest and does not improve your chances of winning. In the event you do consent to receive these emails, the use of such emails shall be subject to Sponsor’s privacy policy, and you may opt out of receiving these emails at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sponsor will use email to notify Applicants if they have been deemed Finalists or the Winner as described below.
JUDGING: Following the close of the Video Submission Period, a panel consisting of Sponsor’s Director of Marketing and three Crewfare founders (“Judges”) will review the Videos. Three (3) Finalists will be selected based on a holistic assessment of the following criteria: travel insights, video editing skills, creativity, vibrancy, charisma, enthusiasm, alignment with Crewfare's brand, relevancy of content to Crewfare’s target audience, Applicant’s ability to convey their personality through creative content, and demonstrated potential to build followers and create compelling social media content. Crewfare’s brand aligns with passion for adventure, vibrancy, charisma, and enthusiasm for bringing people together. Its target audience consists of adventurous travelers who seek to make every journey unforgettable.
All aspects of an Application will be considered in the judging process, including Application Information and Video Submission Information. In the judging process, an Applicant’s existing social media content may be reviewed, and points may be deducted if this content contains evidence of hate speech, inflammatory remarks, excessive alcohol use, drug use, presence of criminal activity, public affiliation with hate groups, or excessive political rhetoric.
Applicants who make contact with any Judges to discuss their Video or the Contest will be automatically disqualified.
The Judges will score each Application on a scale of 1-100, based upon their holistic consideration of all criteria set forth above. When the total scores are tabulated by the Judges, the top three (3) Videos will advance to become the Finalists. The scoring sheets containing the Judges’ scoring will not be made public and will not be shared with Applicants. Applicants waive any and all rights they may have to review the scoring sheets. In the event of a tie, the Applicant with the higher Crewfare brand values score will be considered the winner of the tie. The Videos of the Finalists, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Rules, will proceed to the Voting Period. Each potential Finalist will be notified. Failure to respond to the initial verification email within 12 hours of notification, or return of the email as undeliverable, may result in disqualification. Only one email will be sent. Applicants should check their Spam and Junk folders for Sponsor emails. If a potential Finalist is disqualified for any reason, an alternate Finalist will be selected (time permitting), i.e., the Video that received the next highest Judges’ score.
Within twenty-four hours of notification, potential Finalists will be required to (i) sign and return a provisional Independent Contractor Agreement that will become effective if and only if the potential Finalist is declared the Contest Winner (ii) sign and return a Finalist Affidavit of Eligibility and Release, including releases of liability and indemnification, and release of publicity, where permitted by law, (iii) sign and return an IRS Form W-9 and (iv) provide proof that they possess a U.S. Passport valid through September 30, 2024.
