• 1. CONTEST DESCRIPTION: The Yahoo! / MTV Movie Awards Best Movie Spoof Contest ("the Contest") is a skill based competition in which participants will compete by submitting their best recorded audiovisual parody of a major motion picture from among a list of films provided on the Contest website, located at http://mtvmovieawards.yahoo.com (the "Contest Site"), for a chance to win a trip to the MTV Movie Awards and an MTV Movie Award. Each participant will be invited to submit his/her spoof video (a "Spoof"), which will be voted on and rated by the public and by a panel of judges as described in Rules 7 and 8. The Contest begins at 12:01 AM PDT on April 23, 2007 and ends at 6:00 PM PDT on June 2, 2007. The deadline for submissions is May 21, 2007 at 10:00 AM PDT (the "Submission Deadline"). The Contest will be conducted in two phases. The first phase of the Contest ("Round One") consists of an online competition in which participants will be invited to upload a Spoof to the Contest Site. All submissions will be posted on the Contest Site and rated by the public and by a panel of expert judges chosen by the Sponsors. Five Finalists will be selected at the end of Round One based on the results of the expert judging to advance to the second phase. During the second phase of the Contest, ("Round Two") the public will be asked to select the one Spoof which they think is worthy of winning an MTV Movie Award for the Contest Entrant who submitted it. The Contest Entrant who submitted the Spoof which receives the most votes during Round Two of the Contest will be declared the winner, subject to verification and compliance with the Official Rules.
• 2. ELIGIBILITY: This Contest is open to legal residents of the fifty United States and the District of Columbia who are at least 16 years of age. Entrants who are under the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence must have their parent/legal guardian's permission in order to submit an entry in this Contest. Employees and agents of Sponsors, New Line, their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, any other prize sponsor, and any entity involved in the development, production, implementation, administration or fulfillment of the Contest (all of the foregoing, together with Sponsors, collectively referred to as "Promotion Entities"), and their immediate family members and/or those living in the same household of such persons, are not eligible to enter the Contest.
• 3. HOW TO REGISTER: Any individual wishing to participate in the Contest must first register to participate, thereby becoming an eligible participant (a "Contest Entrant"). Registration is free and available at the Contest Site. If you are not an existing Yahoo! account holder, follow the instructions to create a free Yahoo! ID (a "Contest ID"). As part of the registration process, Contest Entrants will be required to click where indicated to signify that they accept and unconditionally agree to be bound by these Official Rules, including the decisions of the judges and the Sponsors which are final and binding in all respects. Limit one (1) registration per person and per e-mail address. Any individual who attempts to register, or in the sole discretion of Sponsors is suspected of registering more than once, by any means, including but not limited to establishing multiple e-mail accounts or Yahoo! IDs will be disqualified from the Contest. A team of individuals (a "Team") may collaborate on a Spoof, provided that ALL members of the Team meet the eligibility requirements contained in these Official Rules. The Team must designate one person as the agent of the group to enter the Contest, agree to these Official Rules and accept the Grand Prize on behalf of the group. The person who obtains the Yahoo! ID under which a Spoof is submitted will be deemed the "Contest Entrant" for that Spoof. Neither Sponsors nor any of the Promotion Entities are liable for any disputes between collaborators arising under or related to the Contest. The Contest Entrant is the one (1) person who is the authorized account holder of the Contest ID and the email address associated with that Contest ID. In the event of dispute regarding the identity of the holder of a Contest ID, dispute will be resolved in favor of the individual who is both the authorized holder of the Contest ID and password associated with the Yahoo! ID (based upon information submitted at the time the Yahoo! ID was created or updated upon registration for this Contest) and, if available, the "authorized alternate e-mail account holder" provided when the Contest ID was created. "Authorized alternate email account holder" is defined as the natural person assigned an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization (i.e., business, education institution) responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address. If a dispute as to the identify of a Contest Entrant cannot be resolved to Sponsors' satisfaction, the affected Spoof will be deemed ineligible.
• 4. HOW TO SUBMIT A CONTEST ENTRY: Once you have completed registration, follow the online instructions to complete, encode and upload your Spoof. You may submit up to 10 Spoofs during the term of the Contest; however, you may not submit the same or materially similar Spoof more than once. The decision about what constitutes the same or materially similar Spoof is in Sponsors' sole discretion. You must complete the registration process and upload your Spoof(s) no later than 10:00 AM PDT on May 21, 2007 (the "Submission Deadline"). Contest Entrants will be invited to use certain audio/video media assets from various theatrically-released motion pictures ("Authorized Assets"). All Spoofs: (a) must be a parody of one of the films listed on the Site; (b) must be no more than 5 minutes in total running time; (c) must be formatted and encoded according to the requirements set forth at the Contest Site; (d) must be primarily in English, if there is any language in the Spoof; however, subtitles may be permitted when used for comic effect, in the Sponsors' sole discretion; (e) must be intended for family audience viewing and contain only content that, in the sole and unfettered discretion of the Sponsors, is suitable for all persons over the age of 13; (f) must not, in the sole and unfettered discretion of the Sponsors, contain any sexually explicit, disparaging, libelous or other inappropriate content or any nudity; (g) must not, in the sole discretion of Sponsors, contain any commercial content that promotes any product or service other than those of the Promotion Entities; (h) must not contain any copyrighted works (other than materials owned by the Contest Entrant, or the Authorized Assets). Any elements appearing in your Spoof, including without limitation music, audio, speech/voiceovers, stills, video, supers, or other audiovisual materials (collectively, "Elements") used must be entirely original, created and performed by you, be in the public domain, or be an Authorized Asset. Use of any Elements or other materials that are not original, in the public domain or an Authorized Asset may result in disqualification of a Spoof, in Sponsors' sole discretion. By entering the Contest, each Contest Entrant acknowledges and agrees that: (a) New Line is granting entrants a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the Authorized Assets solely in connection with the Contest and only for the duration of the Contest, (b) Contest Entrants shall have no right, title or interest in the Authorized Assets, and (c) any use of the Authorized Assets other than as expressly permitted by these Official Rules will constitute a violation of these Official Rules and may constitute copyright infringement. Further, those Authorized Assets provided by New Line may be used only in a Spoof of the New Line film that they appeared in. In other words, Contest Entrants may not combine or "mash up" any of the Authorized Assets with footage, music or other elements taken from any other motion picture in the same Spoof.
• 5. SPONSORS' RIGHT TO DISQUALIFY: At any time during the Contest, Sponsors reserve the right, in their sole and unfettered discretion, to disqualify and remove any Spoof that they believe contains any inappropriate content, infringes the rights of any third party, or otherwise does not meet any other requirements in these Official Rules. The decisions of the Sponsors on this and all matter relating to the Contest are final and binding.

• 7. ROUND ONE FINALIST SELECTION PROCESS: At the start of Round One, on April 23, 2007, a series of ineligible sample submissions will be made available as examples on the Contest Site. All eligible Spoofs, as they are received and deemed to be eligible, will be displayed on the Contest Site starting April 30, 2007. Between April 30, 2007 and May 29, 2007 at 10 AM PDT, (the "Round One Voting Period"), members of the public who have registered at the Site (the "Voters") will have the opportunity to view and rate the posted Spoofs. Voters will be asked to rate Spoofs on a 1 to 5 star rating scale, with 1 star being the lowest score and 5 stars being the highest score, based on humor and creativity. In the event of a tie, the tied entries will be re-judged by a different panel of judges selected by the Sponsors, using the same criteria described above. Voters can only rate each Spoof once. Any attempt by a Voter to rate a Spoof more than once during the Round One Voting Period may result in disqualification of all ratings and other Voter Activity produced by that Voter. The Spoofs in Round One will also be rated by a panel of judges consisting of editors and media staff selected by the Sponsors and/or the Promotion Entities (the "Judges"), who will evaluate each Spoof. The Judges will rate the Spoofs on a 1-5 star scale rating with 1 star being the lowest score and 5 stars being the highest score, based on the following equally weighted criteria: creativity, humor, and audience appeal (the "Judging Criteria"). The Judges will also consider the results of the public voting as of May 21, 2007 at 6:00 PM PDT as an additional factor in applying the foregoing criteria, but will not be bound by the results of the public voting. The Contest Entrants who submitted the Spoofs that receive the five highest average ratings from the Judges will be considered the potential Contest finalists (each, a "Finalist") and advance to Round Two, subject to verification by the Sponsors and judges that the Spoofs are in compliance with the Official Rules and do not contain any inappropriate content. An additional number of alternate Finalists ("Alternates") will also be selected, in rank order, from among the remaining eligible Spoofs as scored by the Finalist Judges. Between approximately May 22 and May 25, 2006, the five potential Finalists and 10 Alternates will be contacted by telephone and/or email to arrange a personal interview and pre-screening with the Sponsors (the "Pre-Screening"). Each potential Finalist and potential Alternate (or, if a particular potential Finalist/Alternate is a minor, that individual's parent or legal guardian) will be required to execute and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release (collectively, an "Affidavit and Release"), together with any other documentation or screening that may be required by Sponsors. If any potential Finalist/Alternate cannot be contacted, does not return a phone call or correspondence from the Sponsors within 24 hours following attempted notification, or fails to comply with the Sponsors' verification process and/or eligibility requirements for the Pre-Screening, that potential Finalist/Alternate may be disqualified. Similarly, the Affidavit and Release must be fully completed and returned to Sponsors (together with a guest release for Finalist's travel companion) within 24 hours following the sending of those documents to the potential Finalist/Alternate, or the potential Finalist/Alternate may be disqualified. An alternate potential Finalist may be selected, in rank order, from among the remaining Alternates, if time permits, and if any qualified Alternates remain, subject to the same eligibility and verification requirements described in these Official Rules. Potential Finalists or Alternates which are disqualified for any reason will not be entitled to any form of compensation, and any and all rights to further participation or any prize in this competition will be forfeited. The Judges reserve the right to select fewer than 5 Finalists or 10 Alternates in the event that there is an insufficient number of Videos that are deemed to meet their criteria, or if any potential Finalist, in the sole opinion of Sponsors, does not comply with the Sponsors' eligibility and verification requirements.
• 8. ROUND TWO: THE FINAL JUDGING PHASE: Beginning May 29, 2007, and continuing until June 2, 2007 at 6 PM PDT (the "Finalist Voting Period"), each Finalist's original Spoof will be posted on the Contest Site. Members of the public will be invited to view each Spoof to evaluate which Finalist should win the Grand Prize. Voters may change their vote up until the end of the Finalist Voting Period; however any attempt by a Voter to vote more than once may result in disqualification of all rating and other Voter activity produced by that Voter. The Finalist who receives the most votes from the public during the Finalist Voting Period will be declared the Grand Prize winner. In the event of a tie during the Final Voting Period, the tie will be broken by a panel of judges based on the same criteria used in Round One.
• Finalist Prizes: Each confirmed Finalist will receive point-and-shoot video camera (ARV: $150 each) and a trip for two (winner and companion) to Los Angeles, CA to attend the 2007 MTV Movie Awards on June 3, 2007 (the "Prize Trip").
