The contest begins August 24, 2026 at 9:00:00 AM Mountain Time and ends September 7, 2026 at 11:59:59 PM Mountain Time (the “Entry Period”). Sponsor's clock is the official timekeeper.

Sponsor will not shorten the Entry Period once entries have opened..
Open to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, who are legal residents of the State of Utah, and who are an owner, officer, or authorized representative of a business that is (a) registered and in good standing with the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code or holds a valid Utah DBA, and (b) physically operating in Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber, and Wasatch Counties, Utah. One entry per business. If more than one entry is received for the same business, only the first entry received will be considered and any later entries will be disqualified. Businesses under common ownership or control will be treated as a single business for this purpose. Employees, contractors, and immediate family or household members of Sponsor and its affiliated brands and agencies are not eligible. Businesses that are current Fluence clients under an active agreement are not eligible. Businesses that were Fluence clients under a paid agreement at any time during the twelve (12) months preceding the start of the Entry Period are not eligible. Sponsor may verify registration and standing through the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code and may require proof of eligibility. Internet access and a valid email address and telephone number are required to enter.
Complete the application form at fluencemarketinggroup.com/l/social-media-video-offer during the Entry Period. Entry is free. No sharing, reposting, tagging, following, commenting, or other social media activity is required to enter or to win, and none will improve an entrant's chances. Entries are accepted only through the application form. Entries that are incomplete, illegible, submitted by automated means, or that misrepresent eligibility will be disqualified. All entry information becomes part of Sponsor's records and will not be returned. Sponsor acquires no ownership of an entrant's pre-existing trademarks, materials, or business information by reason of entry; Sponsor's rights are limited to those described in Section 10. By entering, the entrant represents that all information provided is accurate and that the entrant is authorized to enter on behalf of the business.
Five (5) prizes will be awarded. Each prize consists of one professionally produced 60-second video package. Each package includes: one pre-production consultation call; one shoot day of up to four (4) hours at a single location within an eligible county; one (1) edited 60-second video with licensed music, color, and sound. Each package excludes: paid talent or actors; travel outside eligible counties; additional locations or shoot days; drone, studio rental, sets, props, wardrobe, or animation; scripted narration beyond a basic outline; media spend or ad management and vertical cutdowns or alternate versions; and revisions of any kind. Additional services are available at Sponsor's standard rates.
Sponsor will deliver the edited video within thirty (30) calendar days after the shoot day.
Prizes are non-transferable. No cash equivalent or substitution, except that Sponsor may substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the stated prize becomes unavailable due to circumstances beyond Sponsor's reasonable control. Receiving and using the prize requires the winner's participation and time, including a consultation call and a shoot day of up to four hours at the winner's location.
Winners are selected by a panel of Sponsor's creative team based on the following criteria, each weighted equally: fit of the business for a short-form video format; clarity of the applicant's stated objective for the video; willingness to participate on camera and be featured in Sponsor's marketing; and availability during the production window of October 5 through November 6, 2026. Entries are first screened for eligibility under Section 3; entries that do not meet every eligibility requirement are disqualified and are not scored. Each criterion is scored on a scale of one (1) to five (5) by no fewer than two (2) judges, and the entries with the highest combined scores are selected. Sponsor will retain the completed scoring records for at least twelve (12) months after the announcement date. In the event of a tie, the earlier-submitted entry prevails. Winning is not determined by chance. Chances of winning depend on the number and quality of eligible entries received. Judges' decisions are final and binding.
Sponsor may contact applicants by phone or email during the selection process to verify eligibility and discuss availability. Sponsor reserves the right to award fewer than five prizes if fewer than five entries meet the eligibility and judging criteria.
Potential winners will be notified by email and telephone using the contact information provided in the entry, on or about September 11, 2026. A potential winner must respond and confirm acceptance by 5:00 PM Mountain Time on September 18, 2026. In no event will a potential winner have fewer than three (3) business days from the time of actual notification to respond. Sponsor may require a potential winner to sign a declaration of eligibility and the releases described in Section 8 as a condition of receiving the prize. Failure to respond by the deadline, inability to schedule within the production window, or failure to return required documents will result in forfeiture and selection of an alternate. Sponsor may select up to two (2) alternates per forfeited prize, each subject to the same response requirements, after which Sponsor may elect not to award that prize. Sponsor is not responsible for notifications that are undeliverable, misdirected, filtered as spam, or not received for reasons outside Sponsor's control. Winners will be publicly announced on Sponsor's Instagram account on or about September 23, 2026.
Each winner must execute a production agreement, an appearance and location release, and a publicity release, and must provide a completed IRS Form W-9 before production begins. The publicity release will require the winner to comply with the FTC Endorsement Guides when posting about the contest or the delivered video, including disclosing that the video was received as a contest prize.
As a condition of the prize, each winner will: provide safe and lawful access to the shoot location and obtain any permission required from the property owner or landlord; obtain a signed appearance release from every individual who appears on camera; confirm that it holds the rights necessary for any logo, product, artwork, signage, music, or other third-party material it asks Sponsor to feature; designate a single point of contact for scheduling and approvals; and confirm a shoot date within the production window of October 5 through November 6, 2026. If a confirmed winner cannot schedule a shoot within that window, Sponsor may reschedule at its discretion or treat the prize as forfeited.
The value of the prize is taxable income to the winner. Sponsor will issue IRS Form 1099 as required by law. Each winner is solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes arising from the prize. No cash or other assistance is provided toward any tax liability. Winners should consult their own tax advisor.
