Diaper Lab will select winning entries based upon the criteria of originality, visual impact, and relevance to cloth diapers and the "Strut Your Fluff" contest theme. The "People's Choice" award will be selected from a subset of photos selected by Diaper Lab as above, then evaluated by site visitors who decide to participate in the rating of photographs; no claim is made that such evaluation and voting is monitored or explicitly restricted to prevent irregularities in how votes/evaluations are made, tabulated or registered by the system. By entering, you agree to be bound by these Official Rules, and that the decisions of the judges are final and binding in all respects. Judging will be completed by November 14, 2009, and potential winners will be notified by e-mail on or before November 28, 2009.

Prizes will be awarded within thirty (30) days after winner verification. No prize substitution or transfer is permitted, except that Diaper Lab reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value for any reason. All taxes, fees and any other incidental expenses on Prizes are the sole responsibility of each winner. In the event selected winners can not be contacted or fail to accept or acknowledge the award within fourteen (14) days of initial attempt at notification to their submitted e-mail address, Diaper Lab may, at its discretion, withdraw the award prize or select an alternate winner.
Voting for the "People's Choice" award is limited to one vote or set of evaluations per person. Creation of multiple accounts, personalities, or other means to register more than one set of votes, evaluations, or reviews of pictures by a single individual will disqualify and void all such entries by that individual.
