Unique Brand Presentation meaning?

[paleosaver]

Hi All - I'm very new to this and have a question. I've been entering some of the magazine sweepstakes that end in 2014. While I know my chances aren't great, I want to make sure I'm not automatically disqualifying myself. In the contest rules it states entries are limited to one per day per "Unique Brand Presentation". Does this mean per magazine, so that if Country Living, Good Housekeeping, Woman's Day, etc., are all running a $100,000 sweepstakes, I can enter on each site? I've seen some where they are running a couple different $10,000 sweepstakes under different names. Thanks for any clarification on this. While it doesn't take me long to enter, I would rather not be completely wasting my time by disqualifying myself.

Been reading the rules, eh?

Smart move.

“Unique Brand Presentation” is basically the same as “Creative Presentation”, except it usually is used in magazine sweeps. I suggest you Google “sweepstakes creative presentations”. You’ll find many explanations.

Briefly, there are two or more participating sweeps that are giving away the same main prize. There may be smaller secondary prizes for each individual sweep, but there is only ONE main prize.

At award time, one sweep is selected and the winner is chosen from that sweep. If there were 50 participating sweeps and you entered all of them except one and the one you didn’t enter is the one chosen then you can’t win.

If the generic term “unique brand presentation” or “creative presentation is used” then you have no way of tracking down all of the participating sweeps.

Meredith Corp. and Time Life are two magazine publishers. They usually identify the participating sweeps in the rules. You know who they are, so you can enter them all. Very few other magazine publishers follow their lead.

Pick a number and it’s possible that there could be that many sweeps participating in a “creative presentation”.

Personally, I pass on ‘em all unless they list the participating sweeps in the rules.

Thanks for the response! I really appreciate it. I think I'll focus on the sweepstakes with at least a little chance of winning
