Contest Rules
Build the World of SPE 2008 runs for 12 months and is designed so that current SPE members can earn valuable prizes for sharing the benefits of SPE membership with friends and colleagues.
The following rules apply to the campaign:
- Members from all SPE regions, plus a group representing members who reside in areas not covered by a current SPE section, compete to recruit the most new members.
- To receive credit, you must be listed as the SPE member responsible for encouragement on the printed application form submitted or be identified through the confirmation email SPE sends after an online application is submitted.
- All completed applications and membership dues for qualified applicants must be received at SPE between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008 to be counted toward the grand prize.
- Student members are not eligible to participate nor do students count toward recruitment total.
- Quarterly Prizes
- One winner each quarter will be selected at random to receive the quarterly prize.
- Quarterly prizes are drawn at the end of March, June, September and December.
- Participating members will receive a designated number of entries in the quarterly drawing based on the number of new members recruited during the immediately preceding quarter.
- A tiered system will determine the number of entries in the quarterly drawing. Entry tiers are as follows: 1-10 credits equal 1 entry; 11-20 credits equal 2 entries; 21+ credits equal 3 entries.
- Each member recruited equals one credit.
- Each member begins each new quarter with zero entries and must recruit additional members to be eligible for subsequent quarterly drawings by recruiting new members.
- Grand Prizes
- A total of 15 grand prizes will be awarded to the leading recruiter (member with the most credits over the entire 12-month contest) in each of SPE’s regions, plus a group representing members who reside in areas not covered by a current SPE section.
- In cases where there are two or more members with equal credits leading for that region, a name will be randomly drawn to receive the regional grand prize.
- A minimum of five new members must be recruited to qualify to receive a regional grand prize.
