The Contest is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Participation constitutes full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and Sponsor's decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Contest. Winning the prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

SELECTION OF FINALISTS: On or about 8/31/08, a panel of qualified judges from GlaxoSmithKline and its representatives ("the panel of judges") will review all eligible Essays, and will score the Essays based upon the following criteria:

(i) How the Entrant has gone above and beyond to provide "Fast Relief" to help someone in need - 60%;
(ii) The Entrant's knowledge and love of NASCAR® (20%);
(iii) Relevant mention of the TUMS brand name - 10%;
(iv) Grammar and clarity of expression - 10%.

The five (5) Essays that receive the highest scores will be deemed potential finalist Essays, and the Entrants submitting of those Essays will be deemed potential finalists. In the event of a tie among Essays, the panel of judges will determine the winning Essay based on the Essay that received the highest score for criterion (i), above. If the tie persists, the panel of judges will re-evaluate and re-rate the Essays and the Essay that then receives the highest score for criterion (i) will be deemed the winning Essay.

No Entrant is a Potential Finalist unless and until verification has been completed.

VERIFICATION OF POTENTIAL FINALISTS: The potential finalists will each be notified by telephone, regular mail or overnight mail, and will be required to complete, sign and return an affidavit of eligibility, a liability release, and where lawful, a publicity release within a stated amount of time. If the affidavits/releases are not received by the date stated on the notification, if any notification is returned as non-deliverable, if the Entrant is found to be ineligible or not in compliance with these Official Rules, or if the Entrant does not return such other releases as deemed necessary by Sponsor, the Essay will be disqualified and, at Sponsor's discretion, an alternative Essay may be selected. Potential finalists must agree to submit to a background check. Any event or incident in the potential finalist's past that, in Sponsor's sole discretion, tends to cause embarrassment or reflect poorly on Sponsor, its image and/or products, will render the Entrant ineligible to win, and will result in the selection of another Entrant as potential finalist. Once the potential finalists have been verified in accordance with these Official Rules, the potential finalists become Finalists and the Contest proceeds to the Online Voting Period.

HOW THE ONLINE VOTING CONTEST WORKS: Once the Online Voting Period has begun, the five (5) finalist Essays selected by the panel of judges in the Nominee Selection Competition will be posted to the Websites.
