Winners will be contacted during SFM’s regular business hours at the applicable email addresses or phone number associated with the TeacherLists accounts that the Entrant provided at time of entry. Failure to reach a Winner by email after three (3) attempts may result in the disqualification of that Winner and forfeiture of the Winner’s interest in the prize.
