- YOUR CONTESTS. We will work with you to slate one or more contests to be offered through the Platform for your benefit. Slating includes the contest’s proposed format and underlying sport or activity, the date and time when the contest will be posted on the Platform, when it will be open for entry, when it will start (the entry deadline) and when it will end.
- Contest Parameters. For each contest we offer on your behalf, you will be required to select various contest parameters, including the underlying sport or sporting event, the contest format, and the date the contest will be slated on the platform and open for entries, the prizes you wish to offer and, if required, the celebrities who will participate in your contest.
- Submission of Parameters. After you have selected your contest’s parameters we will review your prospective contest for approval. Once approved, your contest will be slated.
- Prizes. We will then create a prize entry in our system for each prize you intend to provide that will include the title of the prize, a description of the prize and a graphic image or representation of the prize. You hereby agree to provide us with any and all of these requirements such that we can create the prize in our system.

To help market your contest, we will place contest placards in key locations such as the lobby, your hub and the hubs of all other contest sponsors. We may also broadcast your contest to our members and followers via email and social media and enable the OJMN to advertise your contest.
- PRIZES YOU ARE PROVIDING FOR OTHER CONTESTS. In some cases, you may agree to provide prizes for contests other than your own. In this situation, we will create a prize entry in our system for each prize you intend to provide that will include the title of the prize, a description of the prize and a graphic image or representation of the prize. You hereby agree to provide us with any and all of these requirements such that we can create the prize in our system. Once your prize is created in the system, it will be displayed in association with the contest it has been designated for and you will be notated as a Contest Sponsor of that contest. We will market the contests that you are providing prizes for through the Platform by displaying them in your Hub, in the general contest lobby and potentially in other high-visibility locations on the Platform. Again, after the conclusion of a contest you sponsor, we will provide you with the necessary information to contact and fulfill the prizes you’ve agreed to provide directly to their associated winners.
