Survey entry: During the Entry Period, complete the 2026 Military Creator Economy Survey at militarycreator.com and, on the closing screen, provide your email address for the Giveaway drawing. Giveaway entry is optional; your survey responses are stored separately from your entry and are not affected by whether you enter.

Alternate free entry (no survey required): Email research@militarycreator.com during the Entry Period with the subject line “Giveaway Entry” and include your full name and email address. Alternate entries have equal chances of winning.

Limit one (1) entry per person and per email address. Duplicate, automated, or scripted entries are void.

A total of eleven (11) prizes will be awarded.

Grand Prize, One (1): MIC 2027 VIP Experience for Two. One Grand Prize winner will receive a MIC 2027 VIP Experience for the winner and one (1) guest, consisting of:

• two (2) VIP admission tickets to the Military Influencer Conference (“MIC 2027”), scheduled for September 22–25, 2027, in Tampa, Florida;
• four (4) nights of hotel accommodations for two (2) people in one room at the Marriott Tampa Water Street; and
• round-trip economy-class airfare for the winner and one (1) guest from a major commercial airport within the fifty (50) United States or District of Columbia reasonably selected by Sponsor to Tampa, Florida.

The Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of the Grand Prize is $3,345.

Sponsor will determine the airline, flights, departure airport, travel itinerary, room type, booking arrangements, and other travel details in its reasonable discretion. Travel and lodging dates will be designated by Sponsor in connection with MIC 2027.

Winner and guest must travel together on the same itinerary and must possess all identification and documentation required for travel.

Unless expressly stated above, the Grand Prize does not include ground transportation, airport transfers, parking, baggage fees, meals, beverages, gratuities, hotel incidentals, room upgrades, airline upgrades, travel insurance, personal expenses, or any other expenses not specifically identified as part of the prize.

If the winner resides sufficiently close to Tampa, Florida that Sponsor determines air transportation is unnecessary or impractical, Sponsor may omit airfare or provide an alternative form of transportation in its discretion. No cash or other compensation will be provided for any unused portion of the prize.

If the winner is unable to travel during the dates designated by Sponsor for MIC 2027, the Grand Prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner.

If MIC 2027 is postponed, rescheduled, relocated, materially modified, or canceled because of circumstances outside Sponsor’s reasonable control, Sponsor may modify the travel arrangements or substitute all or part of the prize with a prize of equal or greater value where reasonably practicable.

Actual value of the Grand Prize may vary based on the winner’s point of departure, airfare, lodging rates, and other factors. The winner will not receive the difference between the stated ARV and the actual value of the prize.

The winner’s guest must be at least eighteen (18) years old unless the winner is the guest’s parent or legal guardian and Sponsor permits the minor guest in its discretion. The guest may be required to execute a liability and publicity release where lawful.

Secondary Prizes, Ten (10): $100 GOVX Gift Certificates. Ten (10) winners will each receive one (1) $100 GOVX gift certificate.

ARV of each Secondary Prize: $100. Total ARV of all Secondary Prizes: $1,000.

GOVX has authorized the use of its trademarks in connection with this Giveaway but is not the Sponsor or administrator of the Giveaway and is not responsible for its operation, winner selection, or prize administration.

GOVX gift certificates are subject to any terms, conditions, limitations, and restrictions applicable to their use.

Total ARV of all eleven (11) prizes: $4,345.

Prizes are non-transferable and may not be sold, assigned, substituted, or redeemed for cash except at Sponsor’s discretion. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize or prize component with one of equal or greater value if the advertised prize or prize component becomes unavailable.

Limit one (1) prize per person.

All federal, state, local, and other taxes associated with acceptance or use of a prize are the sole responsibility of the winner.

On or about November 16, 2026, Sponsor or its designee will conduct a random drawing from all eligible entries received through both entry methods during the Entry Period.

The Grand Prize winner will be selected first. Ten (10) Secondary Prize winners will then be selected from the remaining eligible entries.

All eligible entries, regardless of method of entry, will have an equal chance of being selected. Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received.

Potential winners will be notified by email at the address provided at entry within seven (7) days of the drawing. A potential winner must respond and complete any required eligibility verification (which may include a declaration of eligibility and, where lawful, a liability/publicity release) within seven (7) days of notification, or the prize may be forfeited and awarded to an alternate winner.

Giveaway entry information is collected and stored separately from survey research responses and is used to administer the Giveaway. Entry information is not shared with sponsors, partners, advertisers, or brands as part of any individual research response. See the research and privacy details on the survey welcome screen for how research data is handled.

By entering, entrants agree to be bound by these Official Rules and Sponsor's decisions, which are final and binding. Sponsor may disqualify any entry it reasonably believes is fraudulent, automated, or in violation of these rules, and may cancel, suspend, or modify the Giveaway if fraud, technical failure, or any other factor impairs its integrity, in which case winners may be selected from eligible entries received before the impairment. Except where prohibited, entrants release Sponsor and its affiliates from any liability arising out of participation in the Giveaway or acceptance or use of any prize.

The Giveaway and the underlying research are independent initiatives and are not sponsored, administered, endorsed, or approved by the U.S. Department of Defense, any Military Department, any branch of the United States Armed Forces, or any other federal government agency.
