During the Promotion Period for each of the Contests, log into your Twitter account (or create a free account if you do not already have one) and visit the Papa John’s Twitter page at @PapaJohns. After Sponsor sends out the Contest Tweet, to enter, an entrant must respond to the Tweet that is pinned at the top of the @PapaJohns Twitter account and include the Hashtag #Contest (each an “Entry” and collectively, the “Entries”) during the Promotion Period for each of the Contests, independently and separately. An Entry consists of Tweeting a story about a person who should receive thanks for each of the Contests.
Each entry is subject to the following terms and condition:
During each of the individual Contest Promotion Periods, the Sponsor will be evaluating the “Entries” to ensure that they meet the Contest Requirements. The Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any Entrant who submits an Entry that does not meet the Contest Requirements. Incomplete entries or entries not complying with these Rules are subject to disqualification.
The details of the prizes to be awarded for each of the Contests are set forth in Section 8 below. Entries do NOT carryover to subsequent Contests and are only eligible for the Contest in which the Entry is made. LIMIT ONE ENTRY PER TWITTER ACCOUNT PER CONTEST. Subsequent entries will be disqualified. Any attempt by any person to obtain more than the stated number of Entries by using multiple/different Twitter accounts or any other methods will void all of that person’s Entries. Sponsor’s (defined below) computer is the official time keeping device for this Promotion. Entries generated by a robotic, programmed, script, macro or other automated means will be disqualified. All potential winning Entries are subject to verification by Sponsor, whose decisions are final and binding. An entrant is not a winner of any prize, even if the message should so indicate, unless and until entrant’s eligibility and potential winning Entry has been verified and entrant has been notified that verification is complete. Sponsor will not accept screen shots or other evidence of winning in lieu of its validation process. Any Entry that occurs after the system has failed for any reason is deemed a defective Entry, is void, and will not be honored. No other forms of entry are valid other than those set forth above. All entry information becomes the property of the Sponsor. Use of Twitter will be subject to Twitter’s terms of service, which are available at: https://twitter.com/tos/. Due to the way Twitter operates its services, all Entry tweets in response to a Contest must be public in order for an Entry to be eligible. To enter any of the Contests during that Contest’s Promotion Period, respond to the Twitter post for the Contest during the Promotion Period.
IMPORTANT FOR ENTRANTS USING A MOBILE DEVICE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROMOTION: Use of a mobile device to participate in the Promotion is not required. In the event a mobile device is used, message and data rates may apply. Not all mobile telephone providers carry the service necessary to participate in the Promotion. Entrants should consult their wireless provider’s pricing plans.
During the Promotion Period, eligible Sweepstakes Entrants will be entered into a random drawing. Three (3) entries will be randomly drawn for each Contest. Entries for each Contest Period will only be included for that Contest Period and will not be included in the next Contest Period for all Contests. Odds of winning will depend upon the number of eligible entries. If the Prize is forfeited or the winner does not claim the Prize, Sponsor may, but is not required to, draw an alternate winner. The winner will be drawn as soon as practicable after the close of the applicable Contest Period. Decisions of the judges are final and binding.
There will be three (3) prizes awarded per Contest for a total of twenty-four (24) prizes awarded during the Promotion’s Promotion Period. The prize for each Contest will consist of two (2) unique codes redeemable for one large three-topping Papa John’s pizza (each a “Prize Code”) the date the winner completes and returns the necessary documents. The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of each Prize is $20. The total ARV of all Prizes is $480.
Papa John’s intends for each Winner to share one of the Prize Codes with the subject of that Winner’s Entry.
Limit one Prize per Contest per name, Twitter account, and email address during the Promotion Period. SPONSOR WILL MAKE A GOOD FAITH ATTEMPT TO AWARD ALL PRIZES. IF, AFTER A GOOD-FAITH ATTEMPT, SPONSOR IS UNABLE TO AWARD OR DELIVER A PRIZE, THE PRIZE MAY NOT BE RE-AWARDED. If a Prize offered becomes unavailable for any reason, Sponsor reserves the right to provide an alternate prize of equal or greater value. Each Prize will not be replaced or replenished if it lost, stolen, damaged, destroyed or used without the winner’s permission and will be voided if altered or defaced.

If a potential winner fails to provide such documentation or comply with such laws, the prize may be forfeited and Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, select an alternate potential winner.
Potential winners will be notified via direct message on Twitter from @PapaJohns. If winner does not follow the instructions to redeem his/her Prize within 48 hours or if winner is found to be ineligible or otherwise not in compliance with these Official Rules, Prize will result in forfeiture and an alternate winner may be selected. Winners will be notified on or about the day following the end of the Contest’s Promotion Period.
Winning a prize is subject to validation and verification of eligibility and compliance with all the terms and conditions set forth in these Rules. If a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, the Entry that received the next highest total score will be chosen as the potential winner. If a potential winner does not respond to the notification attempt within three (3) days from the first notification attempt, then such potential winner may be disqualified and an alternate potential winner will be selected from among all eligible entries received based on the judging Criteria described herein for Contests #1, #2, and #4 or randomly selected in the case of Contest #3. Except where prohibited by law, each potential winner may be required to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability and Publicity Release and provide any additional information that may be required by Sponsor.
