The Contest involves collaboration with World Playground, LLC (“World Playground”), which is responsible for providing the travel experience portion of the Grand Prize.
- Eligibility: Only legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia (the “Promotional Territory”) who, as of the date of a Submission (as hereinafter defined), are 18 years of age or older are eligible to enter the Contest (each such person, “you” or “Entrant”).

Employees, officers, and directors of the Sponsor and each of its respective parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, distributors, retailers, sales representatives, and advertising and promotion agencies involved in the Contest (all such individuals and entities collectively referred to herein as the “Promotion Entities”), and the immediate family members and/or those residing in the same household of each are ineligible to enter the Contest or win the Grand Prize. Winning the Grand Prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein. The Sponsor reserves the right to verify the eligibility of the Winner (as hereinafter defined).
- How to Enter the Contest:
(a) Submission Process: If you meet all the eligibility requirements as provided in Section 2 herein, you may enter the Contest. To enter into the Contest, during the Promotion Period, you must (1) submit a reel or video on Instagram using the hashtag #NOBULLxWorldPlayground; and (2) tag both NOBULL (@NOBULL) and World Playground (@worldplayground) in your Instagram post (each eligible entry, a “Submission”) and (3) follow both NOBULL (@NOBULL) and World Playground (@worldplayground) with your account that submitted the reel or video on Instagram.
(b) Judging Criteria:
All eligible Submissions will be judged based on the following criteria (“Judging Criteria”):
- The Instagram reel or video should provide an enticing story or reasoning as to why you and your favorite travel companion deserve a trip with NOBULL and World Playground.
- The entrant(s) must demonstrate a high level of enthusiasm and passion for NOBULL and World Playground.
- Content must be original, well thought-out, and entertaining. Submissions will be evaluated on creativity, storytelling, clarity, and engagement. This includes the visual appeal of the video, the ability to convey a coherent and compelling message, and the overall effort put into the production. Submissions that are both visually engaging and that provide a clear and meaningful narrative will score higher.
The Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any Submission (or any Entrant), in its sole and absolute discretion, if it finds proof or has cause to suspect such Entrant’s Submission is fraudulent, deceptive, altered, has been tampered with, or is otherwise deceptive or illegitimate (as determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion). The decisions of the Sponsor will be final. If the Sponsor uses a web-enabled mobile device to participate, data rates may apply (Entrants should contact their service provider for data rates/plans).
(c) Submission Process and Limits: Any Submission must be complete by the end of the Promotion Period. The Sponsor’s database clock will be the official timekeeper for this Contest. There is a limit of one (1) Submission per Entrant during the Promotion Period. Submissions in excess of the limit set forth in this Section 3(c) will be disqualified by the Sponsor. Any attempt by an Entrant to obtain more than the stated number of Submissions by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations, logins, AI generative technology, or any other methods other than as described herein, including, but not limited to, commercial contest/sweepstakes subscription notification and/or entering services, will void that Entrant’s Submissions or excess Submissions, in the Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
Except as otherwise contemplated in these Official Rules, personal information collected by the Sponsor in connection with the Contest will be used in accordance with the Sponsor’s Terms of Use, Terms of Sale and Privacy Policy.
(d) Verification of Eligibility and Sponsor’s Discretion:
EACH ENTRANT AGREES TO THESE OFFICAL RULES BY PARTICIPATING IN THE CONTEST, AND VERIFICATION BY THE SPONSOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL ON ALL MATTERS RELATING TO THIS CONTEST.
Any potential Winner is subject to verification of eligibility. Submissions are subject to review and verification at the sole discretion of the Sponsor; if they are found to be reproduced, altered, forged, tampered with or unauthorized, or if they fail to contain content appropriate for the Contest or contain any inappropriate content, in each case as determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion, they will be void. The Grand Prize will not be awarded to an Entrant for which a Submission is determined to be void or who is otherwise ineligible, and the Sponsor shall have no further obligation or liability in respect thereof. Submissions, including contact information submitted along with any Submission, that are incomplete or deemed by the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, to be in violation of these Official Rules, or to be otherwise infringing, harmful, inappropriate, defamatory, or generally not in keeping with the image of the Sponsor, may be rejected and an Entrant submitting such Submission may not be eligible to participate in the Contest.
(e) Invalid Submissions and Prohibited Conduct:
Submissions must be made by an Entrant, only by the Submissions process described in Section 3[(a)]. Multiple Submissions from the same Entrant will not increase your chances of winning. Submissions made by any other individual or any entity, and/or originating at any other e-mail address or Instagram handle, including but not limited to commercial contest/sweepstakes subscription notification and/or entering service sites, will be declared invalid and disqualified for this Contest. Tampering with the Submission process or the operation of the Contest, including but not limited to, the use of any device to automate the Submission process, is prohibited and any Submissions deemed by the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, to have been submitted in this manner will be void. In the event a dispute regarding the identity of the individual who actually submitted a Submission cannot be resolved to the Sponsor’s satisfaction, the affected Submission may be deemed ineligible.
The Promotion Entities shall not be responsible for any incorrect or inaccurate Submission information whether caused by Internet users or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or used in the Contest or by any technical or human error which may occur in the processing of the Submissions in the Contest. The Promotion Entities assume no responsibility or liability for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, theft or destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of Submissions.
- Winner Selection, Notification & Verification: On or about October 6th, 2024, subject to the terms herein, only one (1) winner (the “Winner”) of the Grand Prize (as hereinafter defined) will be selected by a selection committee under the supervision of the Sponsor and World Playground. The selection will be based on the overall creativity, originality, and quality of the Submission, with the Judging Criteria serving as the primary basis for evaluating and determining the Winner.
The Winner of the Grand Prize will be notified by email and/or Instagram direct messages within five (5) days following selection of the Winner (the “Winner Notification”). Before November, 28th 2024 the Winner of the Grand Prize must redeem the Grand Prize. If the Winner of the Grand Prize redeems the Grand Prize but cannot travel before November 28th, 2024, the Grand Prize will be forfeited by the Winner. If the entire value of the Grand Prize is not used, the remaining value of the Grand Prize will be forfeited by the Winner, and cash will not be awarded in lieu of any remaining prize value.
Promotion Entities shall have no liability for any Winner Notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential Winner for any reason. Time is of the essence in awarding the Grand Prize. The Sponsor will make three (3) notification attempts within a period of two (2) business days. The Sponsor reserves the right to make a public announcement announcing the Winner in any manner it deems reasonably appropriate (such as via Sponsor’s website, social media and/or similar platform). If a potential Winner does not respond within three (3) days of delivery of the Winner Notification, or if the prize or Winner Notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential Winner, such potential Winner will automatically forfeit his or her Grand Prize and an alternate Winner may be selected in a Second Chance Selection (as hereinafter defined). If any potential Winner is found to be ineligible, or if they have not complied with these Official Rules or declines the Grand Prize for any reason prior to award of the same, such potential Winner will be disqualified and an alternate Winner may be selected in the Second Chance Selection. The Grand Prize will be awarded provided a sufficient number of Submissions are received throughout the Promotion Period. Note, the Promotion Entities shall have no liability for a potential Winner’s failure to receive notices due to spam, junk e-mail or other security settings or for a potential Winner’s provision of incorrect or otherwise non-functioning contact information.
- Second Chance Selection: If, after the Winner Notification and Winner verification, the Grand Prize is unclaimed or un-awarded for any reason, a second selection will be conducted on or about October 12th, 2024 from all Submissions received in accordance with Section 3 hereof during the Promotion Period (a “Second Chance Selection”). The Second Chance Selection will be conducted by the selection committee under the supervision of the Sponsor, whose decisions are final on all matters relating to the selection. Odds of winning the Grand Prize in the Second Chance Selection depend upon the number of eligible Submissions received during the Promotion Period. The Second Chance Selection Winner will be notified using the contact information provided at the time of Submission. The Sponsor shall have no liability for any Winner Notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential Winner for any reason. If, despite reasonable efforts, a potential Winner does not respond within three (3) days of delivery of the Winner Notification, or if the prize or winner notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential Winner, such potential Winner will automatically forfeit their prize and an alternate Winner may be selected. If any potential Winner is found to be ineligible, or if they have not complied with these Official Rules or declines a prize for any reason prior to award of the same, such potential Winner will be disqualified and an alternate Winner may be selected. The Sponsor may successively attempt to contact up to two (2) potential Winner(s) of the Grand Prize in accordance with such procedure, and if there is still no confirmed Winner of such Grand Prize after such attempts have been made, if any, such Grand Prize may go unawarded.
