must be public. Entries uploaded from “private” Instagram accounts will not be eligible. Entrants must follow and continue to follow @audubonsociety through at least January 4, 2026 in order to be notified in the event they are a potential winner. By submitting an Instagram Entry, entrants agree to Instagram’s Terms of Use. This Sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Instagram or Meta Platforms, Inc. IMPORTANT: MESSAGE AND DATA RATES MAY APPLY TO USE OF MOBILE PHONE/DEVICE TO PARTICIPATE IN SWEEPSTAKES. INSTAGRAM IS FREE TO DOWNLOAD AND AVAILABLE FOR iPHONE FROM THE APPLE APPLICATION STORE AND FOR ANDROID FROM THE GOOGLE PLAY STORE.

Sponsor may not receive entries from Instagram users with “protected” accounts or profiles that are not public (i.e. user has set the account so that only people the user has approved can view updates). Instagram posts not received by the Sponsor will not be entered into the Sweepstakes. Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same email address or Instagram account.

For the avoidance of doubt, uploading a Video to Instagram alone will NOT result in an entry into the Sweepstakes. Once an Entry is submitted it cannot be modified by an Entrant. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, illegible, garbled, inaccurate, invalid, misdirected, undelivered, or delayed Entries. No altered or incomplete submissions will be accepted.

Audubon reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify and remove any Submission and/or entrant at any time, including in the event of any evidence of false or deceptive acts by an entrant, including, but not limited to, multiple Submissions or Submissions reasonably suspected to be generated by script, macro or other automatic means; any Submission determined to be offensive, inappropriate, not in keeping with Audubon’s image or if it is otherwise determined that the entrant has not otherwise complied with any portion of these Official Rules.

6) Limit: One (1) entry per person.

7) Odds:  Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.

8) Prizes: There are two (2) Grand Prizes available to be won. Each Grand Prize includes one (1)  For the Birds: The Birdsong Project Box Set on vinyl. The Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of the Grand Prize: $429 USD/$593.50 CAD each. The total ARV of all prizes available to be won: $858 USD/$1,187 CAD. CAD Values are calculated based on the exchange rate as of September 5, 2025.

9) Winner Selection and Notification: Potential winners will be selected in a random drawing conducted by Sponsor on or around December 4, 2025 from among all eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period. Potential winners will be notified by Audubon via direct message on Instagram from @audubonsociety on or around December 8, 2025 (the “Social Notification”) and be required to respond within five (5) business days of notification with their full name, address email address and date of birth. Any potential winner who does not respond to Audubon’s notification message with the required information, within the specified time period, that cannot be contacted or is found to be ineligible will be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected.

If a potential Grand Prize winner is a Canadian resident, within three (3) days of confirmation of the information received from such potential winner in response to the Social Notification, such potential winner will receive a second notification (the “Second Notification”) via email from the Sponsor and will be required to correctly answer a skill-based mathematical test question without mechanical or other aid (which may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor, be administered online, by email or other electronic means or by telephone) within a limited time-period in order to be eligible to receive their prize. Not providing the answer within the required time period, providing an incorrect or incomplete answer, or noncompliance with the terms of administration of the skill-testing question will result in disqualification of the potential winner and an alternate winner may be selected. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, the Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to administer an alternate test of skill as it deems appropriate based on the circumstances and/or to comply with applicable law.

If a winner is otherwise eligible under these Official Rules, but is nevertheless deemed a minor in his or her state/province/territory of primary residence, the prize will be awarded in the name of winner's parent or legal guardian.

10) General: Audubon is not responsible for any incorrect or inaccurate entry information, viruses, bugs, malfunctions, or any other errors, human or otherwise, regardless of the cause (collectively, an “Error”). In the event of any Error, Audubon reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to discontinue, suspend, cancel, or modify the Sweepstakes. In the event of cancellation, Audubon reserves the right to determine winners from among all eligible, non-suspect entries received prior to the Error using the selection procedure outlined above. Prize is subject to availability. No substitution or transfer of prizes or cash redemptions permitted, except at Audubon’s sole discretion.

It All Begins with Birds: My Bird Journey 

In consideration of my participation in the National Audubon Society, Inc. (“Audubon”) program identified above (the “Program”), I state and agree as follows:

I agree and understand that recordings, which may include my image, appearance, voice, name and/or biographical material (“My Likeness”) may be made and/or produced at the Program. I hereby give Audubon permission to use, reproduce, duplicate, broadcast, sublicense, and distribute My Likeness, in any and all media, including but not limited to the Internet, whether now known or hereafter devised, in perpetuity. I agree that I have no claim for compensation, that My Likeness may be used in fundraising materials, that My Likeness may be edited at Audubon’s sole discretion, and that I waive any right to inspect or approve the finished version. 

I expressly release and hold harmless Audubon and its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensees, successors and assigns from and for any and all claims, demands, actions and causes of action whatsoever for libel, defamation, invasion of privacy or right of publicity arising from Audubon’s use or alteration of My Likeness (or any part thereof).

I agree that Audubon may use, reproduce, display, make derivative works, sublicense, and distribute any materials I create while participating in the Program (“Artwork”), or any parts thereof, in any and all media, including on the Audubon website and in Audubon magazine, and permit Audubon to use the Artwork in connection with fundraising appeals. Audubon’s license to use the Artwork shall be perpetual, royalty-free and non-exclusive.

Submission of the Artwork constitutes your representation and warranty to us that you are the sole author of the Artwork, that you have the full right to convey the stated rights in the Artwork, that the Artwork has not previously been published in any form; and that nothing in the Artwork is libelous or obscene, infringes the trademark or copyright rights, or violates the right of privacy or right of publicity or any other right of any person, group of persons, organization or corporation to the best of your knowledge. You further represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary releases or consent forms for Audubon’s use of the Artwork.

This release shall be binding upon me and my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and assigns. 

By using the hashtag #MyBirdJourney or #AvesPorLoAlto and #Audubon_Sweepstakes, if applicable, and @audubonsociety in my post on Instagram, I acknowledge that I have thoroughly read and understand this form and that the statements I have made are all true.
