JUDGING: There will be two (2) rounds of judging: (i) Round 1 and (ii) Round 2.

Round 1: Entries will be posted on videocontest.kronos.com for public rating. Kickapps.com users can view, rate or vote all Contest Entries. Only one (1) vote per person or per user per Entry is allowed. Viewing, rating and voting activity is weighted and calculated by kickapps.com's proprietary automated scoring system and each Entry is given a resulting score. Rating/voting generated by script, macro or other automated means or with the intent to impair the integrity of the viewing/rating/voting process, as determined by kickapps.com and Sponsor in their sole discretion, will be void.

In order to get more attention to your Entry, contestants can "Post on another network or blog" or "Embed" tools provided on the website to spread their Entries across the Internet to other sites where such activities are permissible, including, but not limited to, social networking sites. The factors considered to determine the Highest Rated and Most Viewed ranking are the number of sites an Entry is posted to, the number of unique viewers of the Entry, and the number of people who have shared the Entry. Inappropriate sharing activity including spamming or posting content to irrelevant or inappropriate sites may be grounds for disqualification.

Round 2: The top 5 highest rated and top 5 most viewed entries will be judged by a Sponsor-designated panel to determine the winning Entries based on the judging criteria below. The Entry with the highest score in Round 2, as determined by the judges in their sole discretion, will be declared the Grand Prize winner. The second highest score will be declared the Second Prize winner and the third highest score will be declared the Third Prize winner.

All Round 2 judging will be based on the following equally weighted criteria: 1) creativity; 2) originality; and 3) clarity of description of how entrant enjoys using Kronos. In the event of a tie, winner will be determined based on highest score for creativity. In the event of a further tie, winner will be determined based on highest score for originality.

Sponsor reserves the right to not award any prize if, in its sole and absolute discretion, it does not receive a sufficient number of eligible and qualified Entries. Judges' and Sponsor's decisions are final and binding on all matters.

WINNER NOTIFICATION: Potential winners will be determined on or about October 1, 2008 at the offices of the Sponsor.
