5.

Entries that correctly answered all four of the Scavenger Hunt questions will be move on to the Creative Writing phase of the Contest. A panel of three Sponsor judges ("Judges") will review and score eligible Entries (the Entries with four correct answers in the Scavenger Hunt) responses to the question posed in the Creative Writing phase. Each of the Judges will provide a score for the response for each of the two Judging Criteria on a scale of 1-100 with 1 being the lowest score and 100 the highest score. The Judges scores will be averaged to provide each Entry with one score for Creativity and one score for Relevance to Alienware. The scores will then be added together to give the Entry a total score (“Total Score”). The Entry with the highest Total Score will be the winner.

In the event of a tie, the tie will be broken by the Entry with the highest score in the Creativity category. The decision of the Judges will be final and binding in all matters; no Entrant will have the right to challenge the verdict and the Judges will not engage in any conversation or explanation regarding their decision.
