The first runner up and Grand Prize Winner will be determined and notified in person on July 15, 2008 at NIKE World Headquarters. Any potential finalist/runner up/Grand Prize Winner who declines to accept the prize, has violated any of these Official Rules, does not respond to the award notification by the date listed on the notification, or is found to be ineligible will be disqualified and an alternative potential finalist/runner up/Grand Prize Winner may be chosen.

Each finalist/runner up/Grand Prize Winner (or parent or legal guardian on behalf of the minor and him/herself) releases NIKE, its affiliated companies and all employees, agents, and representatives from all liability and responsibility of any kind which is related in any way to the prize(s) (including without limitation any property loss, damage, personal injury or death) and consent to the use of their names and likenesses for advertising and promotional purposes without additional compensation, except where prohibited by law.
