Entrant must complete and submit the entry form with all required information during the Sweepstakes Period to be eligible.  Any requested opt-in consent is not required to enter the Sweepstakes and will not increase your chances of winning.

Entrants may enter the Sweepstakes only once during the Sweepstakes Period. Duplicate entries will be discarded and may result in disqualification of Entrant. Entries generated by a script, computer programs, macro, programmed, robotic or other automated means are void and will be disqualified. In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of the individual who actually submitted an entry cannot be resolved to Apartment Therapy’s satisfaction, the affected entry will be deemed ineligible. For purposes of this Sweepstakes, an on-line entry is “received” when Sponsor’s servers record the entry information. Proof of sending (such as an automated computer receipt confirming entry or “thanks for entering” message) does not constitute proof of actual receipt of an entry for purposes of this Sweepstakes. Sponsor’s database clock will be the official time keeper for the Sweepstakes. Illegible and/or incomplete entries and entries submitted by Entrants who do not meet the eligibility requirement (including all requirements with respect to age and residence) are void. Those who do not follow all of the instructions, provide the required information in the entry form or abide by these Official Rules or other instructions by Apartment Therapy may be disqualified.

Apartment Therapy will have complete discretion over interpretation of the Official Rules, of administration of the Sweepstakes and of selection of the winner(s). Decisions of Apartment Therapy as to the selection of the winner(s) will be final. Limit one prize per person and per household.
