Hi Everyone, Look at the below info. taken from PR website regarding "Power Votes". Yes we want to have them and right now you can be collecting them for when the contest starts by looking below " Where to Find A Power Vote Code". I hope I got this all right. Lisa 5. Voting. Each Application Period is followed by a Voting Period. Individuals who are only interested in registering on the Website in order to vote (as defined below) will be required to meet the Eligibility Requirements listed above in Section 1 and will be required to follow the directions on the Website to register as a Voter. An individual can register on the Website as either a Participant or as a Voter but not both. During the Voting Periods listed in the Application Entry Table above in Section 2, an individual who has registered on the Website to vote for the Applications they think should receive Grants (“Voter”) will be allowed up to five (5) votes (each a “Vote”) per Voter per day during each Voting Period. Each Participant in the Grant Program will also be allowed up to five (5) Votes each day of each Voting Period, with the exception of Power Votes as discussed below in Section 6. For purposes of voting, a “day” shall be defined as the 24-hour period beginning at 12:00:01 a.m. ET and ending at 11:59:59 p.m. ET. Limit one (1) registration per person/email address/name/address/household regardless whether you are registering as a Voter or as a Participant. At the end of each day of a Voting Period, any of the un-used Votes allotted to any Voter or Participant will become void and will not roll over to the next day. An individual can register on the Website as either a Participant or as a Voter but not both. If Sponsor determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that any Participant or Voter has not complied with these Official Application Guidelines in any way, for example, (i) use of proxy voting, (ii) by registering more than one (1) time on the Website and/or using multiple e-mail or dummy email addresses, (iii) offering any type of compensation or agreeing to compensate (monetarily or otherwise) any third party, in exchange for a Vote in any manner, or (iv) other fraudulent means in an attempt to cast more than the five (5) Votes allotted per day of each Voting Period or to allocate more than one (1) Vote per day to the same Application, then Sponsor reserves the right to cancel that Voter’s or Participant’s account, disqualify all their Votes and/or disqualify any Application that they have submitted and disallow any further participation by such individual in the Grant Program. Sponsor may allow various off-site methods of voting for an Application, including but not limited to mobile, widgets, media (by way of example and not by way of limitation, voting through a cell phone). Sponsor recommends that before a Voter or Participant chooses an Application to vote on, they visit the Website and review the Profile of the Participant for that Application to get more information about the Participant and their Application. Once each Voting Period has ended, the respective Participants responsible for the appropriate number of Applications in each Grant Level with the highest number of Votes will each be deemed an Eligible Grant Recipient. If there is a tie among the Applications in a particular Grant Level after a Voting Period has ended, Sponsor (and/or its designated agent), in its sole and absolute discretion, will review the tied Applications and will break the tie based on the Application that first in time received the highest number of Votes during the Voting Period. It is possible that two or more Participants will submit Applications which may contain similar/the same idea for a Grant. If both Participants submit Applications which contain the same idea for the same organization, both Applications will be disqualified. Notwithstanding this, Eligible Grant Recipients will be determined solely by the number of Votes cast for each Application as set forth herein. Sponsor is under no obligation to review or consider the similarity of other Applications in determining whether or not to accept an Application. Sponsor’s decisions, in its sole and absolute discretion, are final and binding in all matters relating to the Grant Program. If a Participant’s Application receives the highest number of Votes in the applicable Grant Level, Participant will become an Eligible Grant Recipient for the Grant amount specified in his/her Application. With respect to the Pepsi Challenge Applications, if Participant submitted a Pepsi Challenge Application and the Application is ranked as having the highest votes in that Grant Level (see Grant Table in Section 4 above), Participant will be deemed an Eligible Grant Recipient. In the event, Sponsor has a Pepsi Challenge Category in a particular Application Period and none of the highest ranking Applications contains a Pepsi Challenge Application, Sponsor will review the ranking of all Applications in each Grant Level and the one (1) Pepsi Challenge Application in each Grant Level with the highest ranking at the end of that respective Voting Period will be deemed an Eligible Grant Recipient of the Pepsi Challenge Category. In the event that there are no Pepsi Challenge Applications in a particular Application Period, there will be no Pepsi Challenge Grants awarded for that category in that Application Period. All Eligible Grant Recipients will be required to complete a Grant award acceptance package (“Grant Agreement”) (see Section 14 below for more information on the Grant Agreement), which, among other things, will require the Eligible Grant Recipient to coordinate with Grant Administration Agent (as defined in Section 13b below) who will be solely responsible for dispensing the Grant to the Eligible Grant Recipient in accordance with the Grant Agreement (as defined in Section 14 below). No substitution of a Grant is offered, except at the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor. The Grants are non-transferable. If there are an insufficient number of accepted Applications for a particular Grant Level for a particular Application Period, then the number of Grants awarded for that Grant Level for that Application Period would be reduced to include only those Applications which are accepted under these Official Application Guidelines to receive a Grant. 6. Power Voting. Beginning at 12:00:01 p.m. (Noon) ET on May 1, 2011 and ending 11:59:59 p.m. ET on September 30, 2011 (the “Power Voting Period”), a Participant can use a Power Vote Code (as defined below) to receive extra Votes to vote for an idea on the Website. Once a Participant enters a Power Vote Code on the Website, the Participant must use all of those Power Votes associated with the Power Vote Code for one (1) idea by midnight (local time) of the day the Power Vote Code is entered. If you are not ready to cast your Power Votes, do not input your Power Vote Code. Rather, review the Website to find your favorite idea and then insert your Power Vote Code when you are ready to use your Power Votes. Once a Power Vote Code is entered on the Website, the corresponding Power Votes must be used by midnight (local time) on the day such Power Vote Code is entered for one (1) idea otherwise those Power Votes will be forfeited and will not be carried over for use on another day. A Participant may enter and use up to ten (10) Power Vote Codes per day during the Power Voting Period. Power Vote Code must be submitted as set forth herein on or before 11:59:59 p.m. ET on September 30, 2011. 6(a). What is a Power Vote Code? A Power Vote Code is a unique ten-character alphanumeric code (“Power Vote Code”). If you have a Power Vote Code, log on to the Website and look for “Activate Power Voting” in your lower toolbar at the bottom of the page or alternatively click on the Power Votes link in the main navigation to enter your Power Vote Code to see the number of Power Votes associated with that Power Vote Code. 6(b). How many Power Votes are available? The numbers of Power Votes available to Participants are 5, 10, 15, 25, 50 or 100. The number of Power Votes awarded will be randomly determined. The odds of receiving a particular number of Power Votes depend on the number of Power Vote Codes received and the order in which they are received. The odds are based upon an estimated 3,000,000,000 Power Vote Codes produced; the actual number may vary depending upon the actual number of Power Vote Codes released into the marketplace. 6(c). Where to Find A Power Vote Code. Look for a Power Vote Code on specially-marked 2 liter, 20 oz. bottles and 12-pack and 24-pack cans of PEPSI, DIET PEPSI and PEPSI MAX products. A Power Vote Code can be found, while supplies last, printed underneath specially-marked 2 liter and 20 oz. bottle caps, and printed on the reverse side of specially-marked 12-pack and 24-pack carton wraps (referred to as "Power Vote Code" in these rules). Not all products and package sizes may participate in all areas. 6(d). No Purchase Necessary. To receive one (1) free Power Vote Code without purchase, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope postmarked no later than September 7, 2011 and received by September 14, 2011 to Pepsi Refresh Power Votes, P.O. Box 760023, El Paso, TX 88576-0023. Limit one (1) free Power Vote Code per request per household per postmarked outer envelope. Residents of the state of VT may omit return postage.
