Limit one Entry per person; any attempt by any Entrant to submit more than one entry by using multiple email addresses, identities, registrations, or any other methods will void that participant’s entries and that participant may be disqualified. The Drawing is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Participation constitutes entrant’s (“Entrant”) full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and Sponsor’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Drawing. Winning a Prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein and Sponsor verification.

Furthermore, opting in to MetLiveArts communications constitutes agreement to receive online, mail, or telephone communications from the Museum regarding news, exhibitions, programs, solicitations, offers, and more.
By entering the Drawing, Entrant consents to all the necessary rights for the data collection, sharing and use resulting from Entrant’s participation in the Drawing, and as provided in Sponsor’s Privacy Policy. By entering, each Entrant acknowledges that Sponsor has the right at all times to disclose information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or valid governmental request.

All Entries become the property of the Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned. If, in the sole discretion of Sponsor, any Entry violates any law, rule or regulation, or infringes upon the rights of any third party, is inaccurate, illegible, incomplete, or irregular in any way, or otherwise does not comply with these Official Rules, Sponsor may disqualify the Entry. This Drawing may be cancelled in the event that, in the sole discretion of Sponsor, an insufficient number of eligible Entries are received, or if the Performance is cancelled.

Cancellation, Suspension or Modification. Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend, and/or modify the Performance for any reason.

Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Drawing or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner, and to prosecute or cooperate in the prosecution of any such individual, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
