7. Winner Selection. When the public voting period ends, Sponsor will consider the following criteria, along with the information in the original project entry (with no particular weight given to any criterion or factor), in deciding the ten (10) projects to receive the Award:
   1. Public Votes - The total number of votes cast for a project indicating popular support balanced by the population of the community the project serves. The population of the community impacted by a project will be used to create a ratio of votes to community size to ensure a level playing field for possible votes is created. It is the responsibility of the entrant to ensure the community impacted by the project being entered is represented accurately in their entry form.
   2. Timeliness - Projects that have a more immediate impact on the community may be given priority so that Sponsor and organization entering project can begin to demonstrate and share project successes within 12-18 months of funds being awarded.
   3. Geography - The geographic location of the community impacted by a project will be taken into consideration during the selection process. Sponsor wishes to ensure funds are distributed broadly across both Iowa and South Dakota.
   4. Other Funds - Sponsor is looking to spread Award funds among a broad variety of organizations and communities. Although not a disqualifier, Sponsor will take into consideration previous grants made to project, organization or community from Sponsor’s other charitable giving or community improvement initiatives.
8. Winner Notification. Once the ten (10) projects have been selected, Sponsor will make one announcement of all Award winners on September 25. Sponsor will notify the contact person entering the project on September 25. The contact person will be required to hold the information in strict confidence so that the Sponsor can notify all Award winners. Once Sponsor has notified all Award winners, an email will be sent to the contact person. Sponsor will work with winning organizations to determine the best time for a check presentation/recognition event. Projects that are not awarded funding will receive notification from the Sponsor after Award winners have been notified.
