2. HOW TO ENTER:

a. ONLINE ENTRY ONLY: To enter the Sweepstakes online, visit the home page on either Site (http://www.mgm.com or http://www.jeeperscreepers2.creature-corner.com), fill out the online Sweepstakes entry form by providing your first and last name, gender, birthday (month, day, year), email address and zip code, and click "Submit." Online entries must be actually received by Sponsor before the end of the Sweepstakes Period to be deemed eligible; online entries received by Sponsor after the end of the Sweepstakes Period will be discarded and deemed VOID. In the event of a dispute as to who submitted an online entry, the individual who was, at the time of entry (in Sponsor�s sole discretion), the registered subscriber/holder of the email account used to enter the Sweepstakes, will be deemed the eligible entrant.

b. ENTRY GUIDELINES AND RESTRICTIONS: LIMIT ONE (1) ONLINE ENTRY PER PERSON. The use of robotic, automatic, macro, programmed, or like methods (including without limitation the use of any promotion/sweepstakes subscription, notification, entry, or like sites or service that offers sweepstakes entry services "on behalf of" entrant) is strictly prohibited. Odds of winning are determined by and depend on the total number of eligible entries received. Any attempt to enter the Sweepstakes that is made in a manner other than as permitted in this Section 2 will, upon discovery thereof by Sponsor, be deemed VOID and ineligible. Proof of entering Sweepstakes online will not be deemed by Sponsor to constitute proof of delivery or receipt of entry. Any use of entry methods prohibited by these Official Rules may, upon discovery thereof by Sponsor and in Sponsor's sole and absolute discretion, VOID some or all entries made by such methods and subject entrant to disqualification from further participation in the Sweepstakes and/or any future Sponsor sweepstakes or other promotions. No changes to any entry materials or information will be permitted once submitted. All entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned.

a. SELECTING THE WINNERS: On or around September 5, 2003, five (5) potential Grand Prize Winners (each, a "Winner" and collectively, the "Winners") will be selected at random by Sponsor from among all eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period. Sponsor will use commercially reasonable efforts to contact potential Winners within fourteen (14) days after the actual date of Sponsor's selection of Winners. Inability of Sponsor to contact any potential Winner, or return of Sponsor emails or prize notification as "undeliverable" for any reason, may result in disqualification of such potential Winner and selection of an alternate potential Winner from among all remaining eligible entries. Each potential Winner, where permitted by law, may be required by Sponsor to execute and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and a Liability/Publicity Release (the "Affidavit/Release") and/or a completed IRS W-9 form within seven (7) days following Sponsor's notification. (A potential Winner who is under 21 years of age may, in Sponsor's sole and absolute discretion, be required to have a parent or legal guardian execute his or her Affidavit/Release as well.) Noncompliance within such seven (7) day requirement, or inability or unavailability of any potential Winner to accept a prize for any reason, may result in disqualification of such potential Winner and selection of an alternate potential Winner from among all remaining eligible entries.

b. PRIZES: GRAND PRIZE (5): Five (5) Grand Prize Winners will be awarded the Grand Prize, which will consist of one (1) original storyboard drafted for the movie Jeepers Creepers 2. Approximate retail value ("ARV") of each Grand Prize: US$20. Total ARV of all prizes to be awarded in connection with the Sweepstakes is US$100. The value of the prizes set forth above represents Sponsor�s good-faith determination of the maximum retail value thereof. All prizes will be awarded.

c.
