5. Judging Panel/Judging Criteria. Judging will happen in three stages. All entries will be prescreened to ensure the entries have correctly met the Submission Guidelines and Content Restrictions and meet with Sponsors' general standards and practices prior to any judging (“Qualified Submissions”). At any time before, during or after the Program Period, Sponsor may, in its discretion, choose to post or distribute one or more Submissions, their creator’s name and school information online (including Sponsor’s website, social media pages, and third-party affiliate websites) for promotional and entertainment purposes only. Posting of this/these Submission(s) will not mean that said Submissions are eligible to win or are a Finalist or Selected Winner. Before public posting, Sponsor reserves the right to edit the Submissions, for formatting or other reasonable purpose, and may embed its logo or other trademarks in the Submissions. Participants understand that users of these sites may share, embed, comment on (including negatively) and re-post their Submissions during and after the Voting Period. Program Entities are not responsible for such third-party activities.

Stage One: Judging: Beginning on or about June 17, 2016, all Qualified Submissions will be reviewed and scored by a panel of qualified judges, on a 100-point scale, according to the following criteria, to select up to twenty-five (25) finalists (“Finalists”):

The Finalists will be announced on or around October 13, 2016.

Stage Two: Public Voting. All Finalist Submissions will be posted on Sponsor’s Fab School Labs Facebook App located at  to be voted on by the public (“Voters”) between November 7 - 11, 2016 (“Public Voting Period”). Dates subject to change. To vote for the Submission believed to be the most interesting, compelling or dynamic, voters click on the “vote” button next to the Submission. Use of bots, devices and other programs to increase views or votes is prohibited. Only one vote per natural person per Submission. Note: To be able to cast a vote, a Voter must log into his/her Facebook account. You may create a Facebook account by accessing Facebook at and following the instructions to create an account for free.  Information you provide to Facebook to open an account is subject to Facebook’s privacy policy, located at .

6. Use of proxy voting.

If cheating or abuse of any kind is suspected, Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify the Submission or delete or ignore suspect “votes.” Sponsor is not responsible and shall not be held liable, and your entry may be disqualified and may not be considered for any prize, should your Submission be removed from the site for any reason (including without limitation DMCA take-down), or should your Submission be unavailable for any time during the Public Voting Period.

Stage Three: Judging. To determine the final winners, once the Public Voting Period has closed, a qualified review panel comprised of a Northrop Grumman representative, and at least two external organizations that have an education, community or public relations focus will judge all Finalist Submissions according to the following criteria (“Judging Criteria”), taking into consideration the results of the public vote:

1. Stage two public voting via the Fab School Labs Facebook App (10%)
2. How the makeover will help meet primary course objectives (25%);
3. Uniqueness and originality (25%);
4. Whether the school will be able to incorporate any new or innovative teaching methods or subject matter as a result of the makeover (40%);

On or about December 1, up to five (5) Submissions with the highest score will be selected as the potential winning Participants (collectively, “Selected Winner”). In the event of a tie during qualified judging, the entries will be rescored with “How the makeover will help meet primary course objectives” receiving double value.

In the event of a disqualification, the Program Entities will determine the winners based on non-suspect votes, if possible and time permitting. If voting results are corrupted to a point that the votes cannot be relied upon for calculation during the final judging round, Sponsor reserves the right to evaluate the Finalist Submissions according to the remaining judging criteria.

6. Winner Notification. Selected Winners will be notified by phone or email, as determined in Sponsor’s sole discretion (“Notification”). Selected Winners will be required to respond (as directed) to the Notification within forty-eight (48) hours of attempted notification.
