How to Enter: NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. NO FEE FOR ENTRY. To enter the West Prize Contest (the "Contest"), log into the www.westcollection.org website. Go to the on-line entry form and submit your artistic work (any artistic, multi-media or video work) as provided in the instructions. Who is Eligible: You (the "Entrant") must be at least 18 years old as of the date of your entry and agree that U.S. and Pennsylvania law applies to the contest, and throughout the term of the contest, are citizens and residents of a country where this contest and choice of law provision are permitted. Void where prohibited. Entrant must be the artist who created the work to be judged for the contest. The artwork must have been created within the last 3 years and must be available for acquisition at the time of submission. Employees of West Collection and its affiliates, and their immediate family members (spouses, civil partners, parents, siblings, children and people with whom they are domiciled), are ineligible. You must submit the entry with all the required information to be eligible, and must comply with all of these Official Rules. Contest Period: To be eligible, a fully completed and eligible entry must be received by no later than October 1, 2008, at midnight, Eastern Time (the "Contest Period"). Requirements for Eligible Submissions: By submitting an entry, each Entrant represents and warrants the following, and each work submitted must satisfy these requirements: 1) Entrant owns the copyright in the artwork submitted and the work does not contain any trademarks or copyrighted works of another; and 2) Entrant's artwork does not infringe any copyright, moral or other rights, and Entrant has written permission of any third-party whose rights may also be involved and can provide copies of that permission upon request. Grant of Rights and Indemnity: Entrant grants to the West Collection and any of its agents, licensees, successors, and assignees (collectively, "West Collection Affiliates") a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual worldwide license to use his or her name, likeness, submission or any combination of those, for advertising and promotional purposes, as well as for inclusion in the West Collection's public database, for display and distribution anywhere in the world, in all media, whether now known or later developed. Otherwise, the West Collection will maintain information collected from Entrants in accordance to the West Collection's privacy policy [http://www.westcollection.org/Privacy_Policy.html]. Entrant also grants West Collection the right to edit, promote and otherwise use the entries without further permission, notice or compensation, in any form whatsoever that currently exists or is developed in the future.

The West Collection may retain, destroy or distribute all entries in its sole discretion.
