The Sweepstakes is further limited to any legal resident of the United States, 18 years of age or older, who is not an employee, officer or director of Sponsor, its affiliates, subsidiaries, or advertising and promotional agencies or involved in the development or Sponsor’s execution of the Sweepstakes or an immediate family member of or household resident with such persons. Participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes a participant’s agreement to be bound by these Official Rules. As used herein, “U.S.” or “United States” does not include off-shore United States territories and possessions, such as Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Participants agree to be bound by the decisions of Sponsor’s Sweepstakes judges and such decisions shall be final. For purposes of these Official Rules an entry is received when Sponsor’s servers record the entry following the completion of input at the Sweepstakes Site. Any automated computer receipt does not constitute proof of actual receipt by Sponsor of an entry for purposes of these Official Rules. If an entrant chooses to enter using a wireless phone or mobile device, message and data rates may apply in accordance with such entrant’s service plan.

2.         PRIZE: After applicable verification and subject to compliance with these Official Rules, the following prize(s) (each a “Prize”) will be awarded in this Sweepstakes:

There will be four (4) winners in total in this Sweepstakes and each winner will receive one (1) Shure® MV6 Gaming Microphone (Retail Value: $149.00 USD).

No transfer or substitution of a Prize by Winner permitted except where required by law. If any Prize, or any portion of a Prize, becomes unavailable, the Sponsor may award a substitute Prize of equal or greater value. Taxes on a Prize are the sole responsibility of the applicable Prize winner.  Limit one Prize per person. The Prize does not include any elements other than the items listed above.  Any and all other costs and expenses, including, without limitation, travel costs and other expenses, costs and fees are the sole responsibility of the Prize Winner. Sponsor reserves the right to request from any participant additional documentation it reasonably believes is necessary to validate any entry or to award the Prize.

3.         WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION: Prize winner will be selected in a random drawing to be held on or about Friday, September 27, 2024, at 12:00 PM CT.

Odds of winning are dependent upon the number of eligible entries. A tentative Prize Winner will be notified by Sponsor via email. The tentative Prize winner will have five (5) days from Shure’s email contemplated in the preceding sentence to respond, or a new tentative Prize winner may be selected. A notified tentative Prize Winner, at his or her sole discretion, may disclaim a Prize by not claiming such Prize or by not responding to Shure as described above and in such case an alternate tentative Prize winner for the applicable unclaimed Prize will be selected and this process will be repeated until such time as properly completed applicable Prize claim forms are received by Sponsor for all of the available Prizes.  In all cases, Sponsor reserves the right to request proof of residency and age and to verify compliance with these Official Rules. A tentative or designated Winner will be deemed to have forfeited the opportunity to claim or redeem the Prize if Sponsor, in its sole discretion, finds that the proof or verification is unsatisfactory.  To be confirmed a winner, a tentative Prize winner may be required by Sponsor to sign and return within two (2) days of notification attempt, an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and Publicity Release (where permitted by law).

Following a timely and complete response as required in the preceding paragraph, at such time, subject to verification by the Sponsor’s designated Sweepstakes judges, a tentative Prize winner will be deemed a Prize Winner. Except where prohibited by law, each Prize Winner further grants to the Sponsor the right to use such person’s name, photograph, voice, likeness and city of residence for purposes of advertising or promoting and publicizing the efforts and activities of the Sponsor and the Sweepstakes without further consideration and to release his or her name to persons requesting the names of the winners of the Sweepstakes. Non-compliance or the return of any Prize notification as undeliverable may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner.
