Official Rules

Reader Sweepstakes official rules.

Plain-English official rules for the AAM Pixel Reader Sweepstakes. No purchase is necessary to enter or win, and no purchase — including any made through an Amazon affiliate link — improves your odds.

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.

The AAM Pixel Reader Sweepstakes (the "Sweepstakes") is sponsored by AAM Pixel ("Sponsor"). It is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Amazon.com, Inc. or any of its affiliates.

1. Eligibility

Open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry. Employees of Sponsor and their immediate family or household members are not eligible. Void in Puerto Rico, all U.S. territories and possessions, and where prohibited or restricted by law.

2. Sweepstakes period

The Sweepstakes runs in weekly entry periods beginning Monday at 00:00 UTC and ending the following Sunday at 23:00 UTC, with a final year-end drawing held in December. Sponsor may end or modify the Sweepstakes at any time with reasonable notice.

3. How to enter — free methods

There are two free ways to enter, each giving you one (1) entry per weekly period:
  • Online (free): Visit /giveaway and submit the email entry form. No payment, purchase, or affiliate click is required.
  • Mail-in (free): Hand-print your full name, complete mailing address, email, daytime phone, and date of birth on a 3×5 card and mail it in a #10 envelope to:AAM Pixel Reader Sweepstakes
    PO Box [TBD], [City, ST ZIP]
    Each card must be hand-addressed and constitutes one (1) entry. Mail-in entries must be postmarked within the relevant weekly entry period and received within seven (7) days of that postmark.

4. Purchases and affiliate links do not affect entry

Purchasing a book — through Amazon, an Amazon affiliate link (amzn.to), a plain Amazon URL, or any other channel — does not create an entry, give you additional entries, or improve your odds of winning. Sponsor will not record affiliate-link clicks as entries, will not award entries in exchange for affiliate purchases, and will not pay any prize from Amazon Associates commissions. The Sweepstakes prize pool is funded entirely by Sponsor's general operating budget.

5. Prizes

One (1) weekly prize is awarded each entry period in the form of points credited to the winner's reader account, redeemable per the published reward schedule. One (1) year-end grand prize of up to USD $100,000 (cash equivalent) is awarded if the community goal published on /giveaway is met. Prizes are non-transferable; no substitutions except by Sponsor. All taxes are the sole responsibility of the winner.

6. Odds of winning

Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received during each entry period. Online and mail-in entries are treated identically.

7. Winner selection and notification

Winners are selected by random drawing from all eligible entries received during the entry period. Winners are notified by email at the address provided with the entry within seven (7) days of the drawing and must respond within fourteen (14) days to claim. If a winner cannot be reached or is ineligible, an alternate winner may be selected.

8. Privacy

Information you provide is used solely to administer the Sweepstakes and contact winners. See our Privacy Policy for details.

9. Disputes

By entering, you agree that any dispute will be resolved individually (not as a class action) under the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

10. Sponsor & winner list
