- How to Enter: To participate, you will need to have an Instagram account. Creating an Instagram account is free, but is subject to the account provider’s applicable terms and conditions (http://instagram.com/about/legal/terms/#). If you enter
the Contest or post on Instagram via a mobile device using your wireless carrier’s network, standard data charges from your wireless carrier may apply. Your account settings on Instagram must be set to “unprotected” and/or “public” in order for
your Posts or comments to Sponsor’s posts to be viewable by Sponsor.
During the Contest Period, take the following actions to enter:
(1) Take a photo featuring Hop Valley Brewing products or merchandise outdoors and
(2) post your photo on Instagram. Your Instagram Post must also include:
- (a) the hashtags #HopOutside; (b) tag @HopValleyBrewing; and (c) Hop Valley Brewing Co. product or merchandise.
Your Instagram Post will be referred to as your “Submission.”
Your Submission need not include any reference, positive or negative, to Sponsor’s products or services. By posting your Submission, you agree that it conforms to the guidelines, permissions, and content restrictions below, and that Sponsor may
disqualify you if it believes that your Submission fails to conform.
Guidelines:
- The Submission must meet the format and size requirements of the social platform used to enter;
- If the Submission should not have text overlay on image;
- The Submission must include #HopOutside and @HopValleyBrewing.
Permissions: Entrant must have permission from any recognizable individuals (and be at least twenty-one (21) years old at the time of entry) who appear in the Submission to use their names and likenesses in the Submission and to grant the rights set
forth in Section 6. If requested, entrant must be able to provide such permissions or proof in a form acceptable to Sponsor.
Content Restrictions:

account holder of the Social Account used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address used to create the Instagram. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of
being an authorized account holder. Released Parties (as defined in Section 10, below) are not responsible for lost, late, stolen, damaged, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, garbled, delayed, or misdirected Submissions, or failure to receive

license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, create derivative works from, and display such Submission, in whole or in part, on a worldwide basis, and to incorporate the Submission into other works, in any form, media, or technology now known or
later developed, including for promotional or marketing purposes. If requested, entrant will be asked to sign documentation for Sponsor or its designees to make use of the non-exclusive rights entrant is granting to use the Submission. - Winner Determination: After each Weekly Contest Period, a panel of qualified judges, determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, will select the entrant with the highest-scoring Submission (the “Potential Weekly Winner”) from among all
eligible Submissions received during the applicable Weekly Entry Period, based on the following criteria (“Judging Criteria”):
- Photo demonstrates the ‘HopOutside’ theme in a storytelling manner that’s refreshingly different, humorous, quirky, or otherwise creatively evocative (70%);
- Quality of Photo (30%).
In the event of a tie, the entrant whose Submission received the highest score for “Quality of Photo,” as determined by the qualified judges, in their sole discretion, will be deemed the applicable Weekly Prize Winner from among the tied entrants.
Sponsor reserves the right to not select a Potential Weekly Winner if it does not receive a sufficient number of eligible and qualified Submissions. Sponsor will not disclose judging scores.
- Winner Requirements: On or around the Approximate Winner Notification Dates listed in the chart in Section 4, five (5) potential winners will be selected. Each potential winner will be notified by @HopValleyBrewing through Instagram and will be

limited to, personal injury, death, or damage to or loss of property, arising out of participation in the Contest or receipt or use or misuse of any prize, including any related travel. - Publicity: Acceptance of any prize shall constitute and signify each winner’s agreement and consent that Sponsor and its designees may use the winner’s name, city, state or province, likeness, photo, including winner’s Social Account profile

or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner and void all associated Submissions. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an
attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages and other remedies (including attorneys’ fees) from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not
constitute a waiver of that provision. - Limitations of Liability: Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by entrant, printing, typographical or other errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or
utilized in the Contest; (2) technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited to, malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or network hardware or software; (3) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the
Submission process or the Contest; (4) printing, typographical, technical, computer, network or human error which may occur in the administration of the Contest, the uploading, the processing or judging of Submissions, the announcement of the
prizes or in any Contest-related materials; (5) late, lost, undeliverable, damaged or stolen mail; or (6) any injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in
the Contest or receipt or use or misuse of any prize (including any travel/activity related thereto). Released Parties are not responsible for misdirected or undeliverable Submissions or for any technical problems, malfunctions of computer
systems, servers, providers, hardware/software, lost or unavailable network connections or failed, incomplete, garbled or delayed computer transmission or any combination thereof. Released Parties are not responsible for any unauthorized

the rights and obligations of the entrant and Sponsor in connection with the Contest, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Wisconsin without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules
