Available video categories include Animals, Clowns, Fun, Restaurants, Sport and World.
Each entrant may submit up to [NUMBER] videos. Each video is considered a separate entry, and votes from different videos will not be combined.
Submitting a video does not guarantee publication or eligibility. Entries are subject to review for compliance with these Official Rules. The Sponsor will review submissions within [REVIEW TIMEFRAME]. Voting on a video begins when the approved entry is published.
Submitting near the deadline may leave little or no time for a video to be reviewed, published and receive votes. The submission deadline does not extend the voting deadline.

Each submitted video must:
- Be owned by the entrant or submitted with all permissions necessary to enter the Contest and authorize the uses described in these rules.
- Meet the file format, size and duration requirements stated on the submission page.
- Fit the website’s focus on happy, funny or lighthearted content.
- Include permission from identifiable people appearing in the video and permission from a parent or legal guardian for any identifiable minor.
- Include any necessary permission for music, footage, images or other material belonging to another person or business.
- Comply with applicable laws and the website’s published content standards.
Videos must not contain unlawful material, threats, harassment, hateful content, sexually explicit material, animal cruelty or dangerous conduct performed for the purpose of entering the Contest.
Duplicate entries, misleading submissions and videos that infringe another party’s rights may be rejected or disqualified.
7. Voting
Visitors may vote for eligible published videos during the Contest Period using the voting feature provided on the website.
Voters must complete the website’s required registration and email verification process. Each person may cast one vote per video during the entire Contest Period. A person may vote for more than one video.
All votes must be recorded by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. EST.
Entrants may invite friends, family and other viewers to vote. Votes must reflect the independent choices of real individuals.
Automated voting, bots, multiple accounts used to bypass voting limits, purchased votes, vote exchanges and payments or rewards offered in return for votes are prohibited.
The Sponsor may investigate suspicious voting activity and remove votes reasonably determined to violate these rules. An entrant who participates in or directs voting manipulation may be disqualified. Suspicious activity by an unrelated third party will be reviewed before any action is taken against an entrant.
Publicly displayed vote counts, if any, are preliminary. Final results are subject to verification.
8. Winner Selection and Announcement
One potential winner will be selected based on the highest number of valid votes received by a single eligible video during the Contest Period.
The Sponsor will verify the leading entry’s eligibility, compliance with these rules and vote total before confirming the winner.
If two or more eligible videos tie for the highest valid vote total, a panel of three judges appointed by the Sponsor will evaluate the tied videos using the following criteria:
- Humor and entertainment value: 50 percent.
- Originality and creativity: 30 percent.
- Relevance to the platform’s happy, funny video theme: 20 percent.
The Sponsor will begin contacting the potential winner after voting closes, using the email address provided with the entry.
The potential winner must respond within [NUMBER] calendar days of notification and provide any required eligibility verification and prize documentation.
If the potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to respond by the stated deadline, declines the prize or is found ineligible, the next eligible entry with the highest valid vote total may be selected, subject to the same verification process and tie-breaking rules.
An unanswered notification will not result in forfeiture before the full response period has expired. If that period extends beyond January 2, 2027, the public winner announcement will be delayed accordingly.
11. Permission to Display Submitted Videos
Entrants retain ownership of their videos.
By entering, each entrant grants the Sponsor a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to host, display and share the submitted video, together with the entrant’s submitted display name and video title, on the Slap Happy News Magazine website and its official social media accounts for administering and promoting the Contest.
This permission continues through [LICENSE END DATE OR DEFINED DURATION]. The Sponsor may make technical adjustments necessary to display the video and use short excerpts to promote the Contest without materially misrepresenting the original content.
Use of a submitted video in a paid advertisement unrelated to the Contest requires separate permission from the rights holder.
12. Privacy and Contact Information
Information collected during entry and voting will be used to administer the Contest, verify eligibility and votes, contact participants about their entries and deliver the prize, as described in the website’s Privacy Policy:

Any optional marketing subscription will be identified separately. Agreeing to receive marketing emails is not required to enter or vote.
The Sponsor will not publish the winner’s private email address, telephone number or street address. The winner’s display name, video title and winning video may be published when announcing the results.
13. Technical Problems and Contest Integrity
Participants are responsible for completing submissions and voting before the deadline. The Sponsor cannot guarantee uninterrupted website availability.
If a technical failure, fraud or another event materially compromises the Contest, the Sponsor may suspend affected activity while investigating and will publish notice of any material change on this page.
Any necessary changes will be limited to addressing the issue, applied fairly and made in accordance with applicable law. The Sponsor will not change the announced prize or winner-selection criteria simply to favor a particular entry.
14. Acceptance of Rules
By entering or voting, participants agree to follow these Official Rules. Decisions concerning eligibility, invalid votes and rule violations will be based on these published rules and remain subject to applicable law.
