Value of 3rd and 4th prize up to $145 total each.

The rules

Deadline: December 19th, 2010. (Photos and video must be turned in BY that time and in my possession).

NOTE: DHSeminars are popular and it's best to register early for them yourself. The winners of this contest will be notified and reimbursed their full or half admission price if they have already paid for an admission! Otherwise they will receive a credit equivalent to their winning amount.  If you choose to not register, we can not guarantee there will be space at the seminar location of your choice, that's why we suggest you pre-register for them.

A) All photographs must be submitted to Andy Codding, RDH by either email or regular mail.

If emailing pictures please email those to andy@dentaltease.com if sending them please mail to:
AndyFutureRDH Scavenger Hunt
4516 Columbus Circle
Acworth, GA 30101

Please ensure you have a valid email address as confirmations will be sent out. If after submitting your photographs and you don't receive a confirmation within 3 business days, please email andy@dentaltease.com to verify if I've received them.

B) All students must be in their senior year of hygiene school and eligible to take the next scheduled national board exam. This is for US students only.
 

2010 NEW CHANGE! 


C) Teams can have no more than 7 students. All photographs and videos must have ALL members of your team in the photo or video minus 1 student to allow for a photographer/videographer. This means if your team has 3 students you must have at least 2 in the photo. If your team has 6 students, at least 5 need to be in all photos. 7 students means at least 6 students need to be in the photo, etc.

The prizes will stay the same. There will still be only 2 free admissions awarded for the winner and two half price admissions for the 2nd place team. If your team has more than 2 students, I recommend choosing 2 students to get the free admission and then splitting the cost of the seminar among everyone else. So for instance the seminar costs $400 a student. A team of 5 would mean the total for all 5 people would cost $2000. You win and get 2 free so the cost would be $1200. Split the $1200 5 ways and each person would pay $240. That's just what I recommend. You would only have to do that if you won, though and then you decide as a team what to do with the two free admissions.

D) All pictures must also have a clear legible sign or paper being held up in the photo saying “AndyFutureRDH.com,” “We love AndyFutureRDH.com”, etc…. Be creative. (hint..such as T-shirts, face paint, tattoos, etc can also be made) No exceptions will be made to having the web site name and or "AndyRDH" in EACH picture. Extra points for creative signs are awarded at the end of the contest (up to 25 pts)

E) Scoring - Points awarded for each category will be made by Andy Codding, RDH and his web site consultants which consist of various dental hygienists and faculty throughout the united states.  In addition, some past scavenger hunt winners will also be judges.   In the event there is a tie for any of the prizes, Andy will not help determine the winner. In all fairness he will just ensure the website consultants follow a point system to determine who is in what final place.

In the event of a tie, there will be between 10-15 judges made of Andy's website consultants. Each judge will take those teams tied (categorized by what place they are tied for) first and rank them based on the teams open missions and overall creativity on other missions, including signs. Then points will be awarded as follows.

First Place - 5 points
Second Place - 4 points
Third Place - 3 points
Fourth Place - 2 points
Fifth Place - 1 point

Be original, risky, creative and have fun!

F) Completing missions is at the discretion of the group members. Not all missions must be completed, but naturally the more you complete the higher your chances of winning.

G) By entering the contest all team members agree to the rules posted here and for photographs to become property of AndyFutureRDH.com as well as posted on web site for other competing teams to track their opponents. Once a photograph is submitted and entered - you can not resubmit another photograph to replace it once it has been posted. "Posted" means actually on the web site. If a photo was submitted and it is not yet on the site, then a new one can be turned in to replace it. Only 1-3 photos of each mission will be allowed (unless otherwise instructed such as the "floss em" mission).
