6. Selection of the Ten Finalist Videos: During the Video Selection Period set forth in Section 1 above, a panel of judges consisting of Sponsor and its representatives (the "Judges") will select ten (10) finalist videos ("Finalist Videos") from among all Eligible Video Submissions, based on the following judging criteria ("Judging Criteria"), which will be given equal weight:

• Timeliness. Whether the issue is local or global, the issue represents a current and real threat to the well being of our land, sea, air, and all forms of life.
• The need to act. If left untreated and/or ignored, the issue may become worse and possibly expose future generations to risk.
• Awareness. If knowledge of the issue is limited, more people need to be exposed to the issue and understand the circumstances that created it and possible solutions.
• Relevance. Why is the issue important; who does it affect; what might happen if it’s ignored or overlooked?

Judges may include more than one Finalist Video addressing the same issue, e.g. 2 Finalist Videos on global warming.  In the event of a tie for determining the Finalist Videos, all tied entries will be re-judged by an additional judge selected by Sponsor, who, using the judging criteria, will break the tie.

7. Public Voting: At the commencement of the Public Voting Period set forth in Section 1 above, the ten (10) Finalist Videos, if any, will be posted for public voting on the Contest Web Site and other web sites to be determined at the sole discretion of Sponsor. Each day during the Public Voting Period anyone may vote a maximum of ten (10) times but may not exceed one (1) vote per Finalist Video. Persons voting are encouraged to use the Judging Criteria in Section 6 to evaluate Finalist Videos. Subsequent votes in excess of stated maximum per voting day by a single person will be disqualified.

8. Determining the Grand Prize Winner:
All Finalists Videos will be re-judged by the panel of Judges on or about November 7, 2007. Judges will score each Finalist’s Video Submission based on the judging criteria set forth in section 6 and may in their sole discretion use the results of the public vote as part of determining the final score per Video Submission. The Finalist Video that receives the highest Judges score will be declared the potential winner of the Contest’s Grand Prize ("Potential Winner"). In the event of a tie for determining the Grand Prize Winner, all tied entries will be re-judged by an additional judge selected by Sponsor, who, using the judging criteria will break the tie. The Grand Prize winner’s Video Submission will be featured on the YouTube Site on or about November 9, 2007.

Designation as a Finalist Video and/or the Grand Prize winner is subject to Registered User’s proof of compliance with these Official Rules, maintaining compliance with these Official Rules and YouTube membership, and approval by Sponsor.
