5. WINNER SELECTION; PRIZES; NOTIFYING PRIZE WINNERS

Winners will be selected through a two-round process:

Round 1: Promoter’s internal committee will review all eligible entries and will select a shortlist of ten (10) Participants (the “Finalists”). The Finalists will be notified by email and/or telephone and may be required to submit a business summary or pitch deck at Promoter’s discretion. Such summary or pitch deck may include a brief discussion of the business concept, target customers, industry overview, competitive advantage, revenue potential, and related information.

Round 2: On or about October 29, 2026, all Finalists will present at Promoter’s headquarters located in West Palm Beach, FL or the Palm Beach Atlantic University Titus Center in Palm Beach, FL, in a live pitch event in front of a panel of judges selected by Promoter (the “Panel”). Each Finalist will be accompanied by a student participant, who will shadow the Finalist during event activities as designated by the Promoter. Each finalist will receive thirty (30) minutes total: fifteen (15) minutes to present their case, followed by fifteen (15) minutes of question-and-answer with the Panel. The Panel will select and announce the Winners following the live pitch event.

Panel of Judges: The Panel will consist of experts in the franchising industry, including representatives from Promoter. In the event of a tie, Promoter’s president will make the final decision. The Panel members may vary at the discretion of Promoter. Any decision will be final and binding, unless otherwise noted below.

Judging Criteria: Participants will be judged based on criteria established by Promoter in its sole discretion, including but not limited to franchise potential and scalability, business profitability and financial health, competitive advantage and market differentiation, owner communication skills and presentation quality, and overall fit with Promoter’s franchise development model.

Notification. The Finalists will be announced publicly on or about September 21, 2026, and notified by email or personal video call within five (5) business days thereafter. Potential winners must respond within five (5) business days. Participants agree that, prior to attending the in-person Round 2, they may be required, at Promoter’s discretion, to complete, sign, and return an affidavit of eligibility, a liability release, a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement and, where lawful, a publicity release within a stated amount of time. Failure to respond or return required documentation may result in disqualification.

Odds of Winning. The odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received and the quality and merit of each entry as determined by Promoter and the Panel.

Failure to respond within the applicable time period will result in forfeiture of the Prize and Promoter shall have the option to award the Prize to an alternate Winner from the remaining Finalist. The return of the Promoter’s prize notification as undeliverable or failure to respond to the notification may also result in disqualification and an alternate Winner may be selected. Promoter is not responsible for digital communications that are undeliverable as a result of any filtering of any kind, insufficient space in a Participant’s account, or any other failure beyond its reasonable control. In the event of a dispute with respect to entries received from more than one user having the same email address/account, the authorized subscriber of the account in question at the time of entry will be deemed the proper entrant. A potential winner will also forfeit his or her Prize if he or she is disqualified as not eligible to have participated in the Contest in the first instance. All decisions made by Promoter and the panel regarding entry eligibility, advancement, prize awards, and disqualification are final and binding in all respects.

Acceptance of the Prize. All federal, state, and local income taxes resulting from acceptance of the Prize are the responsibility of Winner. Promoter reserves the right to substitute an alternate Prize of comparable or equal value in its sole discretion. Acceptance of the Prize also constitutes permission to Promoter to use the Winner’s name, likeness, and biographical information for marketing purposes (including posting the information on its website) without further compensation or right of approval, unless prohibited by law.
