JUDGING AND WINNERS SELECTION: Each Entry will be judged by a panel of qualified judges (the “Judges”) selected by Sponsor, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to the Contest. Entrant’s home office will be scored based on the following 4 “Judging Criteria”:

  • Relevant (15%):: The recipe should align with the theme of the contest and sound appealing.
  • Simple (15%): The recipe should be easy to prepare (minimal time, steps and equipment needed to create the recipe).
  • Clear (15%): The recipe should be clearly written and easy to replicate.
  • Made with Truvia® (55%): The recipe ingredients should include at least one Truvia® product. The recipe should not include other sweeteners like honey, agave or other sweetener brands.
This is a contest based on merit, and the odds of winning will depend on the relative quality and merit of the Entries received. The 10 Entrants whose corresponding Entries earn the highest score, out of a total of 100 points based on the Judging Criteria, will be declared potential Winners. All potential Winners are subject to validation and verification of eligibility and compliance with all terms and conditions set forth in these Official Rules. In the event of a tied score between Entries, the Entrant whose corresponding Entry received the most points in the “Made with Truvia®” category of the Judging Criteria will become the potential Winner; in the event of a further tie between those same Entrants, the Entrant whose corresponding Entry received the most points in the “Relevant” category of the Judging Criteria will become the potential Winner.

On or about September 7th 2021, potential winners will be notified by response post on social media, direct message or email. If applicable, winners must provide an accurate postal mailing address so that prize can be delivered to the recipient. BEFORE BEING DECLARED A WINNER, ALL POTENTIAL WINNERS MUST SIGN AND RETURN, WITHIN FOURTEEN (14) DAYS OF BEING NOTIFIED, AN AFFIDAVIT OF ELIGIBILITY/COMPLIANCE & PUBLICITY/LIABILITY RELEASE FORM AND A W-9 FORM AND PROVIDE ANY OTHER BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION OR DOCUMENTATION REASONABLY REQUESTED BY SPONSOR IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONTEST (collectively “Prize Acceptance Documents”).

Any Entrant or other individual offering or using, or attempting to use a “cheat,” payment, or other incentive (such as, the offer or acceptance of any benefit, compensation, gift or award in conjunction with judging or not judging a given Entry), or any other means to manipulate the Judges’ scores may be disqualified and any submissions earned by those means may be void, in Sponsor’s sole discretion.
