3. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: 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. 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. Entrants will be competing for the chance to win a $1,000 cash prize.
4. RECIPE REQUIREMENTS: 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.
The recipe must be an original work that was created by the entrant and cannot 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.
All entries, including the recipe, become the property of Sponsor; Sponsor is under no obligation to correspond about
entries nor will entries be acknowledged or returned. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any entry at
any time in the event it is determined that the entrant has not complied with these Official Rules.
5. TO SUBMIT AN ENTRY:
• 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.
Once submitted, entries become the sole property of Sponsor. No correspondence about the Contest will be entered into
nor will entries be acknowledged or returned. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to decide if an entry is
appropriate for posting or publication, and may disqualify any entry, at any time, if it is determined, in the Sponsor’s sole
discretion, that the entry is not appropriate, or, that the entrant has not complied with these Official Rules.
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.
