9. The prizes are as stated and will not be provided in any other form. The prizes cannot be redeemed for cash and are non-transferable.

10. Entries will be judged on the basis of musical performance and skill with the Eigenharp Pico. In addition to evaluating the performance itself, the popularity of the Participant's submitted clip on YouTube will be an influencing factor in the judges’ evaluation. While innovative arrangements are encouraged, the composition itself will be of secondary consideration to the musical performance. Whilst entries will not be judged on their video production quality, the video must demonstrate clearly that the musical composition is being performed live in its entirety on an Eigenharp Pico. Pre-recorded audio tracks or backing tracks must not be used. The Promoter reserves the right to disqualify any entries where the video is of insufficient quality to demonstrate compliance with these Terms and Conditions.

11. Entries will be judged by a panel of musicians, including Hans Zimmer, Courtney Pine and John Lambert (Founder of Eigenlabs). Each judge will allocate each individual entry a number of points and the entry with the largest number of points will be the winner. Judges will be allocated equal voting rights and the decision of the judging panel will be final. In the event of a draw, a casting vote will be exercised by John Lambert.

12. Copyright in each entry shall remain with the relevant Participant. However, by submitting an entry all Participants agree to grant the Promoter free of charge an irrevocable, royalty-free, perpetual world wide licence to use their entry in any and all media.

13. Entries must conform to the YouTube Code of Conduct and Terms of Use.
