WINNER SELECTION

Multiple entry deadlines and winner selection dates apply. One (1) winner will be selected each month (i.e., there will be 12 total prize winners) of the contest by a panel of judges from Fever, Anthem, and Pacers Basketball, LLC d/b/a Pacers Sports & Entertainment, as well as representatives from Fever MVPs and the Young Professionals Fever Task Force.

Selection of winners from the eligible nominees will be based on the following criteria:

  • Project advocated for equity and inclusion in one of the following spaces: education, health & wellness, female empowerment or corporate citizenship;
  • Level of commitment to their project (hours, years, labor, etc.); and
  • Impact that was made in their community or the State of Indiana.

Winners will be selected on or about the 5th day of each month from among all eligible entries received on or before the final day of the prior month (by way of example, all entries received by June 30, 2024 will be eligible to be selected on or about July 5, 2024 to win the prizes for the month of July as set forth below; all entries received by July 31, 2024 will be eligible to be selected on or about August 5, 2024 and to win the prizes for the month of August 2024 as set forth below. In the unlikely event of a tie, additional judges from Fever, Pacers Sports & Entertainment and/or Anthem will review the tied entries pursuant to the criteria noted above so as to determine the winner. For the avoidance of doubt, the prize winner is the nominee, not the entrant/nominator. Non-winning entries eligible for one selection date will remain eligible for subsequent selection dates throughout the Entry Period. The winning nominee (or the entrant/nominator who nominated him/her if the winning nominee is under the age of eighteen (18) years of age) will be contacted by a Fever representative by email or phone on or about the 10th of each applicable month. In the event the winner (or the entrant/nominator if applicable) cannot be contacted within seventy-two (72) hours of the initial email or phone notification or declines the prize, another winner may be selected from the remaining eligible entries received for the applicable month based on the criteria noted above.

It is the sole responsibility of the entrant/nominator to notify the Fever if his or her contact information and/or e-mail address changes or the contact information and/or email address of the nominee changes. To do so, send an e-mail to bjohnson@pacers.com with the applicable new contact information. Fever, Anthem, Pacers Basketball, LLC, the Women’s National Basketball Association and its Teams, WNBA Enterprises, LLC and each of their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and related entities, as well as each of the aforementioned parties’ respective directors, officers, owners, shareholders, members, employees, representatives, sponsors, licensees, successors, assigns and agents are not responsible for lost, interrupted or unavailable network, server or other connections, miscommunications, failed phone or computer hardware or software or telephone transmissions or technical failures, garbled or jumbled transmissions or other errors of any kind, whether human, mechanical or electronic; including without limitation the incorrect or inaccurate capture of entry information online, or for lost, late, incomplete, damaged, destroyed, delayed, stolen, misdirected or illegible entries. Entry materials/data that have been tampered with or altered are void. Once submitted, entries become the sole property of Fever/Anthem and will not be returned.
