Judging Criteria: Each Submission will be judged based on the following weighted criteria:

Overall Narrative (20%): The quality of the storytelling and adherence to the spirit of the giveaway.

The decisions of the Sponsor and judging panel are final and binding on all matters relating to this Contest.
The potential winner will be notified by phone and/or email on or about November 8th, 2025. The potential winner must respond within five (5) business days of the notification attempt.

5. PRIZE: ONE (1) GRAND PRIZE: One (1) complete Trane heating system. The specific type of equipment (e.g., gas furnace, heat pump) and model will be selected by the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, to be compatible with the winner's home. Prize includes standard professional installation. Approximate Retail Value (ARV): $6,000.
Prize Conditions:
Prize must be accepted as awarded. No cash equivalent, substitution, or transfer of prize is permitted.
Installation must be scheduled and completed within 90 days of winner verification.
The winner's home is subject to a mandatory pre-installation inspection to confirm suitability and compatibility for a standard installation.
A "standard installation" includes the furnace unit, labor, and materials required to replace an existing, accessible furnace in the same location.
The winner is solely responsible for any and all costs beyond a standard installation, which may include but are not limited to: ductwork modifications, electrical or gas line upgrades, asbestos abatement, structural modifications, or any work required to bring the home up to current building codes. Sponsor's determination of what constitutes a 'standard installation' is final.
If the winner's home is deemed unsuitable for installation by the Sponsor, or if the winner is unwilling to cover necessary non-standard costs, the prize will be forfeited, and an alternate winner will be selected from the remaining eligible entries.
Winner is responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes associated with the acceptance of the prize.
