Scoring: Winners will be determined based on the total of unique visitors attending each the Entrant's events each day via StreamJam during the Contest Duration, as determined by StreamJam's event analytics. To be counted as a unique visitor for a day, a visitor must fully load the event space in StreamJam for one of that artist's events at least once in that day.
Please note that this is a total of unique visitors to the Entrant's events for each day. This means that a visitor returning twice to the Entrant's events in one day will be counted only once, but a visitor attending two separate events on separate days will be counted for both events.
On or about September 20, 2011, StreamJam will determine the winners of the Contest, and will contact the winners about their prize shortly thereafter.
In determining the winners, StreamJam may exclude any and all visitors that it determines, in its sole discretion, were counted fraudulently. This includes event visits by fraudulent accounts, the use of automated Internet 'bots' to create event visits, or any attempts at tampering with StreamJam.
