6) Winner Selection
(a) The Community Winner will be selected by Sponsor based on the quality and thoughtfulness of the entrant's response to the prompt: Why do you want to go to Japan to learn about the craft of matcha making?
Responses will be evaluated based on:
- Sincerity and depth of interest in matcha
- Alignment with the values of craft, learning, and respect for process
- Overall clarity and originality of the response
Entrants may, at their option, tag up to three (3) friends in their comment. Tagging friends is not required to enter and does not guarantee selection, but may be considered as an indicator of enthusiasm and engagement.
Community entrants are not required to promote the Promotion in any way.
(b) The Creator Winner will be selected by Sponsor based on two simple factors:
- Response to the “why” prompt (as defined above), and
- Demonstrated engagement in helping share and promote To The Source, measured by factors such as views, comments, and overall audience response.
Creator entries must comply with all applicable disclosure laws and platform guidelines.
Selection will be made by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Sponsor may request additional information to verify eligibility or participation.
Selection is not random. Winners are chosen based on the criteria above. Odds of winning depend on the quality of entries received.
