During any Entry Period, entrant must log in to or create a Twitter or Instagram account.  Then, tweet or post an original photo depicting a moment related to MetLife Stadium and/or being a football fan and include the hashtags #MetLifeMomentSweepstakes and #Giants in your tweet or post to receive one (1) entry. 
Instagram’s terms (http://instagram.com/about/legal/terms/#) and Twitter's terms (https://twitter.com/tos) apply. Posting on Instagram requires a mobile device and therefore message and data rates may apply. See wireless service provider for pricing plan details. In order for entrant’s entry to be valid, entrant’s Twitter and/or Instagram account must be public and thus viewable by Sponsor and its agents.
Photos may not be indecent, obscene, hateful, tortious, defamatory, or libelous or contain material that violates or infringes another’s rights, or disparage Sponsor, the NFL Entities (as defined below), Administrator or any other person or party affiliated with the Sweepstakes, or contain material that is unlawful in any way. Photos must not contain brand names or trademarks other than those owned by Sponsor and the NFL Entities (as defined below). Photos must be entrant’s original work, and entrant must have permission from all individuals who appear in the photo (if any) to use their names and likenesses in the photo and to exercise the rights set forth herein. If requested, entrant must be able to provide such permissions in a form acceptable to Sponsor. 
Posting a photo constitutes entrant’s consent to give Sponsor a royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, create derivative works from, and display the photo (and all details therein) in whole or in part, on a worldwide basis, and to incorporate it into other works, in any form, media or technology now known or later developed, including, without limitation, for promotional or marketing purposes. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entry that it finds unlawful or in violation of these Official Rules, all in its sole discretion. For posting or tweeting a photo that conforms to the guidelines herein, entrant will automatically receive one (1) entry into the drawing for the applicable Entry Period. 
Limit:  Entrant may enter ten (10) times per day during each Entry Period, regardless of the method of entry, and each photo entrant tweets or posts must be, in Sponsor’s discretion, distinguishably different from any other photo(s) submitted by the same entrant throughout the Promotion Period. Only entrant’s first ten (10) eligible entries each day will be accepted.  Entries received during one (1) Entry Period will not carry forward to subsequent Entry Period prize drawings. Entrants may only use one (1) Twitter and/or Instagram account to enter the Sweepstakes. Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same Twitter or Instagram account.  Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different accounts, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's entries and that entrant may be disqualified.  Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification.  In the event of a dispute as to any registration, the authorized account holder of the Twitter and/or Instagram account used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant.  The “authorized account holder” is the natural person associated with the Twitter or Instagram account used to enter.  Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being an authorized account holder. The authorized account holder is required to comply with these Official Rules.  

5. Drawings: Administrator is an independent judging organization, and its decisions as to the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and the selection of the potential winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes.  Administrator will randomly select the potential winners from all eligible entries received during each Entry Period, on or around the dates set forth in the table in Section 3. Entries for any one Entry Period will not be included in drawings for subsequent Entry Periods. The potential winners will be notified by @MetLifeCentral via Twitter or Instagram, as applicable. If a potential winner who entered using Twitter is not following @MetLifeCentral on Twitter, he or she will be required to follow @MetLifeCentral within twenty-four (24) hours of the date of the initial notification.  Each potential Grand Prize winner will be required to sign and return a Declaration of Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release ("Declaration") which must be received by Administrator, within twenty-four (24) hours of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim his/her prize. Grand Prize winners’ guests, if any, will be required to sign and return a Liability and Publicity Release to Administrator.  Guests must be the older of (i) the legal age of majority in their states of residence and (ii) 18 years of age, unless guest is the child or legal ward of winner.  If a guest is the child or legal ward of winner, winner must sign and return to Administrator a Liability and Publicity Release on behalf of such child or legal ward. Each potential First Prize winner will be required to provide a valid mailing address (P.O. Boxes not permitted) and birth date, which must be received by Administrator within five (5) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent in order to claim his/her prize. If a potential winner of any prize cannot be contacted, fails to follow @MetLifeCentral on Twitter within the required timeframe (if applicable), fails to sign and return the Declaration (if applicable) or provide any other requested information, within the required time period, or the prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits his/her prize.  Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules.  In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor may award the applicable prize to an alternate winner selected by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries from the applicable Entry Period.  Time-permitting, only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize in question will remain un-awarded.  First Prizes will be fulfilled approximately 4-6 weeks after winner confirmation.
