About GS Boyz

"Following the paradigm put forth by Soulja Boy, the next wave of grass-roots groundshakers is here: meet The GS Boyz. Looking to combat the escalating gang-related violence they witnessed daily, the GS Boyz focused on making positive, feel-good music that'd move people to dance, not fight.

"After millions of hits on YouTube, a song and dance sensation was born, now reverberating through clubs and pounding out of passing cars. But lest you dismiss them as sheer copycats, note that Soulja Boy himself co-signed the talented Texas two-steppers, inviting them to participate on his national tour."

4. Selection of Winner / Prize.

(a) All entries will be judged by the public to determine the top 100
finalists.  These finalists will be determined by the number of

eligibility. All finalists will subsequently be judged by GS Boyz (or
their representatives) on the basis of the following criteria:
originality (25%), creativity (25%), concept (25%), and presentation
(25%).  The Grand Prize Winner shall be the person whose entry
receives the highest overall score and the Runner Up Winner shall be
the person whose entry receives the second highest overall score.  In
the event of a tie, the winner shall be the person whose entry
receives the highest score on originality.  There will be one (1)
Grand Prize Winner and ten (10) Runner-Up Winners (collectively
referred to herein as the "Winners", and each a "Winner").  The
Winners will be selected on or about August 14, 2009.  The decision of
the judges shall be final and binding in all regards.

The Winners will be notified by telephone or email, and Winners (and

Publicity/Liability Release ("Affidavit/Release") (and any other
documents required by Sponsor), within five (5) calendar days of
notification and receipt of such Affidavit/Release.  If a Winner
cannot be contacted within five (5) calendar days of first
notification attempt, if the prize notification is returned as
undeliverable, if a Winner rejects the prize, or in the event of
noncompliance with these Rules, the prize will be forfeited and an
alternative winner may be selected from all remaining eligible
entries.  Upon prize forfeiture, no compensation will be given.  The
Affidavit of Eligibility must be complete and must include the
Winner's social security or resident alien identification number,
which shall be used solely for reporting prize information to relevant
tax authorities and for no other purpose.  The information in the

reserves the right to substitute a comparable prize of like or greater
value for any prize, or to pay Winner a cash equivalent (the value of
which shall be determined by Sponsor in its sole and reasonable
discretion), for any reason.

limited to, tampering or computer virus infection), the Contest is not
