Microsoft recommends allowing 3 days for Store registration to be processed, and 10 days for app certification and publication.

  7. Winner Determination: Winners will be determined via the processes set forth below.
    • Contest:
      1. Submission and Voting Phase: During the Submission and Voting Phase, approved Submissions will be posted at apptivate.ms and individuals who meet the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 1 will be invited to vote for their favorite Submission. The number of votes each Submission receives during the Submission and Voting Phase will go towards that Submission's score in the Public Appeal category of the Judging Criteria, as outlined below.
      2. Contest Winner Selection:

        During the Contest Winner Selection Phase, qualified judges will select the top two (2) Submissions, one (1) U.S. resident, and one (1) resident from all other participating countries, from all Finalist Submissions based on the following Judging Criteria:

        • Innovativeness/Creativity in migrating your BEFORE to AFTER app (30%);
        • Quality of Submission (30%);
        • Use of Windows 8 features such as the live tile display (30%); and
        • Public Appeal/Votes (10%).

        The entrants whose Submissions receive the highest scores will be deemed the potential Grand Prize winners. In the event that none of the Finalist Submissions are submitted by residents of the United States or none of Finalist Submissions are submitted by residents of other participating countries, qualified judges may elect in their sole discretion and using an application of the same Judging Criteria listed above to select a Submission not included in the Finalist pool to be deemed the applicable potential Grand Prize winner. In the event of a tie, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will determine the potential Grand Prize winner based on the Submission that received the highest score in the Quality of Submission category.

        For all Voting: Each voter may vote only one time on each app, and each voter may vote a maximum of 20 times per day. In its sole discretion, Sponsor reserves the right to select an alternate entrant for any placement should the voting appear to have been tampered with or manipulated in any way. In case of a tie, the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will select the potential winner based on an application of the Judging Criteria. Multiple voters are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by any voter to obtain more than the stated number of votes by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that voter's votes and that voter may be disqualified. Use of any automated program to vote will result in disqualification.

    • Sweepstakes: Sponsor's decisions as to the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and selection of potential Sweepstakes winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Administrator will randomly select the potential Sweepstakes winners from all eligible entries received in each Bronze, Silver, or Gold raffle on or around June 18th, 2013 and will notify each potential winner by email following that time.
  8. Winner Requirements: Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. Except where prohibited, each potential Contest Grand and First Prize winner, and each potential Sweepstakes Gold Prize winner (parent/legal guardian if a winner is a minor in his/her place of residence) will be required to sign and return a Declaration of Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release ("Declaration"). Declarations for potential Contest Grand Prize winners must be returned and received by Administrator within twenty-four (24) hours of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim his/her prize, and all other Declarations must be returned and received by Administrator within seven (7) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to execute and return the Declaration of Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release within the required time period (if applicable), or prize is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits the prize. In the event that a potential Contest winner is disqualified for any reason, an alternate winner may be determined by the Submission with the next highest score. If after three (3) attempts a Contest winner is not confirmed, the applicable prize will remain un-awarded. In the event that a potential Gold or Silver Sweepstakes winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all eligible entries. Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held after which the applicable prize will remain un-awarded. Unclaimed Bronze Sweepstakes prizes will remain unawarded. Acceptance of any prize shall constitute and signify winner's agreement and consent that Sponsor may use the winner's name, city, state, likeness, Submission and/or prize information in connection with the Promotion, worldwide, including the Internet, without limitation and without further payment or consideration, except where prohibited by law.
