When is the Contest?
The contest begins on November 24, 2008 and ends on December 31, 2008.
Who can enter?
Any legal resident of the United States who is 18 years of age or older at the time of entry and has Internet access as of
November 23, 2008 may enter.
What’s the Contest about?
The contest provides entrants an opportunity to share an original recipe for a dish they make for friends and family during
the holiday season and tell why this recipe is a family favorite. Entrants will be competing for the chance to win the $1,000
cash Grand Prize.
Are there any special requirements for the recipe?
Each recipe must have a name, and ingredients in the recipe must be provided in exact standard U.S. measurements.
The recipe should include complete step-by-step preparation and cooking instructions, cooking times and temperatures,
number of servings, serving suggestions and any other pertinent information. Also, the recipe must be the entrant’s own
original work, created by the entrant, and may not have previously won a sweepstakes, contest or other promotion. Previously
published recipes (such as those appearing in major cookbooks, in magazines, in newspapers, from food companies,
publicized on the Internet, and winners in national contests) will be disqualified, unless the recipe entered features changes
considered significant by the judges. In addition, recipes must not have been awaiting publication or submitted for publication
consideration during the period of this Contest. The statement which describes why this recipe is a family favorite may not
exceed 75 words in length. Entries must be completed in English.
How do I enter the Contest?
• Provide all the information required, including full name, complete address, email address, telephone number and
date of birth and insert recipe and your written statement.
• Submit your entry so that it is received by Sponsor's server by 11:59 PM ET on December 31, 2008. Sponsor’s
server is the official clock for this Contest.
How often can I enter?
You may enter as often as you wish, but each recipe and statement must be different, must meet all entry requirements
and must be submitted separately.
Will my recipe be posted online?
Periodically throughout the Contest Period, TLC may, at its sole discretion, select recipes to be featured at TLC’s website.
Being so selected will have no bearing on whether a recipe submission is chosen as a winner once the Contest judging is
complete.
What else do I need to know before I enter?
Here are some other things you should consider before submitting an entry:

Why is the Contest available only to U.S. residents?
Different rules and regulations associated with games of chance in other countries make it difficult to administer contests
outside the United States.
What should I do if I can't reach the Contest web pages when I try to visit?
Come back and try again another time! Many Internet sites experience "traffic jams" from time to time. Refreshing the
page may help. However, if you have problems connecting to all web sites, contact your system administrator; you may have
a problem at your end.
I'm having trouble entering the Contest. My computer seems to be too slow or times out repeatedly. What should I
do?
From time to time, the Internet experiences heavy periods of traffic. The slowdown in the registration process is often
caused by a large number of consumers trying to register for the Contest at the same time. If you are experiencing "time-outs"
while trying to register, we suggest that you wait a few minutes or try again at a later time.
I'm a Macintosh user. Will I have trouble entering the Contest?
No, the Contest is equally accessible through Macs and PCs.
Where can I send feedback about the Contest?
You can send general feedback and suggestions to online_sweepstakes@discovery.com.
