Does anyone know if Bauer Sweeps (Womans World, In Touch, Life&Stlye etc.) are separate sweeps or are these creative presentations?
 
I believe that (all or most?) of the Bauer Publishing sweeps are creative presentations.

When in doubt, read the rules. If you see entry points listed for 2 or more URL's then its a creative presentation. If you don't see multiple entry points, then watch for creative presentation or similiar verbiage in the in the rules - usually in the first few paragraphs.

I just checked several of the In Touch Weekly Sweeps and the rules for each sweep showed from 2 to 6 entry points. So, the ones I checked were all creative presentations.
 
The Bauer Media Group is one of the most successful media companies in the world. More than 570 magazines, over 300 digital products, and 50 radio and TV stations reach millions of people around the globe.

Does Creative Presentation mean there is just one prize regardless of entry points, or if there a prize per each (i.e. Woman's World and Closerweekly will each give out an iPad)? Thanks!

Yes, one prize but several entry points.

There is an explanation on About.com:
http://contests.about.com/od/sweepstakes101/f/creativepresent.htm

There are links for further reading, but the main text says:

"Creative presentations are a way for companies to pool their resources to offer sweepstakes with huge prizes. The downside is that the chances to win those prizes are much lower for the entrants. The way these sweepstakes usually work is that a number of companies run sweepstakes on their own pages.

Entrants can enter on each page, sometimes daily. Each page offers a large prize, and they might offer smaller prizes as well. However, when the time for the drawing comes, only one of the participating websites is randomly selected to be the winning contest. That means that if you didn't enter on that particular page, you have no chance of winning the prize. It also means that although many sites may seem to be offering great prizes, only one will actually be given away.

Creative presentations are attractive for companies who are looking to harvest information from sweepstakes entries. For sweepers, however, they are frustrating because of the extremely low chances of winning."
