Contest Official Rules:

‍1. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY

6. VOTING AND WINNERS
Teaspoon will repost eligible entries to the @teaspoonlife Instagram account at its discretion. The two entries whose reposts receive the most likes at the end of the voting period win. Teaspoon’s count of likes is final. Ties will be decided by Teaspoon. Likes from purchased, automated, or fraudulent sources will not count and may result in disqualification.


7. PRIZES
First place: one $100 Teaspoon gift card. Second place: one $50 Teaspoon gift card. No cash substitutions or transfers. Winners are responsible for any applicable taxes. Winners will be notified by Instagram DM and must respond within 7 days, or the prize may be awarded to the next eligible entry.


8. ENTRY CONTENT
By entering, you represent that you own the content, that it does not infringe anyone’s rights, and that every identifiable person in it has consented to appear (and to be reposted). Costumes and content must be family friendly. Teaspoon may remove or disqualify any entry that is offensive, unlawful, or inappropriate, in its sole discretion.

Entries must feature an actual person wearing a costume at a participating Teaspoon location. Photos or videos that are wholly or substantially generated, fabricated, or materially altered using artificial intelligence (AI), including synthetic people, costumes, or backgrounds, are not eligible. Routine edits such as cropping, lighting, and color adjustments are permitted, provided they do not materially misrepresent the entry. Entries submitted through bots, automated accounts, or other fraudulent means are prohibited. Teaspoon reserves the right to request reasonable verification of an entry's authenticity and to disqualify entries that violate these requirements.



9. LICENSE
By entering, you grant Teaspoon a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to repost, display, and use your entry and your Instagram username on Teaspoon’s social media, website, and marketing materials. You must keep your post public through the end of the voting period.
