The essentials.
Contest preview. Full official rules and final prize details will be published before entry opens.
Free entry, newsletter & eligibility
No purchase or payment. Planned eligibility: legal residents of the 50 United States and Washington, D.C., age 18 or older. One name submission per person, regardless of email addresses or accounts.
A confirmed free newsletter subscription is required at entry. You may unsubscribe from marketing later without invalidating an accepted entry. Contest administration and prize notifications are separate from marketing.
Original names & finalist selection
Submit an original name you have the right to submit. No offensive, unlawful, impersonating, or infringing names. Identical names are credited to the earliest complete valid submission.
The founder selects three eligible finalists using originality, memorability, and brand fit. If fewer than three eligible entries are received, the eligible shortlist may be smaller.
One official poll. One vote per person.
Only valid votes in the official Crypt Rewind website poll count. Likes, comments, and shares on social platforms do not count as votes. Sharing the poll is welcome; bots, paid votes, multiple identities, and other fraudulent voting are prohibited.
Running totals will remain hidden during voting. If valid vote totals tie, the founder breaks the tie using the published judging criteria. No random drawing.
Seven days to claim the prize
The winning entrant has seven calendar days from the email notification timestamp to respond and provide the requested prize-fulfillment details. If they do not respond, the prize is offered to the next-highest-ranked eligible finalist, then the third-place finalist. Each alternate receives seven calendar days to respond.
An unclaimed prize does not change the winning mascot name. If a name is found ineligible or infringes another party’s rights, it may be rejected separately. The prize recipient remains provisional until verified and accepted.
Your name, your privacy & the platforms
The full rules will explain permission to display finalist submissions and use the selected mascot name, as well as how contest information is handled. Entrant and voter email addresses will not be displayed publicly. Shipping details will be requested privately from the verified prize recipient.
Crypt Rewind LLC sponsors and administers the contest. It is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by X, Instagram, or YouTube. No social follow, like, comment, or purchase is required.
