How to Enter: During the Contest Period, registered in-person attendees of the AuditBoard Audit & Beyond Conference starting on October 24, 2022, in Los Angeles, California (the “Conference”) can enter via one of the entry methods below on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook or Instagram (individually a “Website” and collectively the “Websites”):
Twitter: First, follow AuditBoard at https://twitter.com/auditboard. Next, using #auditandbeyond, tweet about a favorite conference moment, takeaway, or quote.

Instagram: First, follow AuditBoard at https://www.instagram.com/auditboard/. Next, post about a favorite conference moment, takeaway, or quote with #auditandbeyond.
One post by one follower that includes #auditandbeyond will entitle each entrant to one entry. Entrants may post on more than one Website, and there is no limit to how many entries per follower, but the content of each entry must be unique to be considered an individual entry. For the avoidance of doubt, the same post shared on more than one Website will only count for one entry. You must be a registered in-person Conference attendee and you must have a Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and/or Instagram account and be logged into your account to enter. Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram account accounts are free. Participant must comply with all Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram terms and conditions.
Entries become the sole property of AuditBoard and will not be acknowledged or returned. Each entry submission must be the original work of entrant and must not infringe the copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other rights of any person or entity. Sponsor reserves the right to crop, edit, modify, translate, reproduce and distribute the submitted material in any medium and in any manner as it deems appropriate. Sponsor may contact you via email or direct message regarding your submission. Proof of entering information at Website/s does not constitute proof of delivery or receipt. Sponsor reserves the right to modify the scheduling of the Contest without prior notification.
By entering the Contest, entrants fully and unconditionally agree to be bound by these rules and the decisions of the Sponsor, which will be final and binding in all matters relating to the Contest. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, illegible, stolen, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, misdirected, technically corrupted or garbled entries, which will be disqualified, or for problems of any kind whether mechanical, human or electronic. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different email accounts, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's entries and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification.
The Judging: A potential winner will be selected from each Entry Pool Period in a judging of all eligible entries received by Sponsor. All entries must meet the Contest requirements. A panel of AuditBoard staff members will review and select winners based on the following criteria:
Creativity: 33%
Originality: 33%
In the event of a tie, the highest score in the Most Engaging criterion will break the tie.
