All Articles must comply with the Contest Website�s Membership Agreement (available at http://annaandkristina.com/MemberAgreement.htm), the Terms of Use (available at http://annaandkristina.com/Terms.htm), and these Official Rules, or the Articles will not be approved by Sponsor, and therefore not eligible for the random draw.


You also understand and agree that Sponsor is under no obligation to approve any Articles that you submit on the Website, and may edit, post, or remove Articles at its sole discretion.


On or about the first business day of each month at approximately 11:00 AM PT, a random draw will be held from among all Articles that have been approved for posting on the Contest Website by Sponsor at any time within the six months preceding the end of the Contest Period. The author of the selected Article (the "Selected Entrant") will be eligible to win the prize(s) outlined in rule 3.
