1. Sponsor

This contest is sponsored by Z EGYPT LLC, a limited liability company registered in the State of Michigan, United States of America (the "Company" or "Sponsor"), and is run through its website, zegyptllc.com.

2. Nature of the contest

The Golden Picture Contest is a skill contest in hand coloring. It does not depend on chance or luck in any way, and no winner is ever chosen at random. The winner is the entrant with the best coloring under the published judging criteria in Section 6.

3. Eligibility

• Entry is open to anyone who has reached the legal age — 18 years or older (or the age of majority in their place of residence, whichever is greater) — with no maximum age limit.
• Eligibility is determined by the entrant's legal residence, not by temporary physical presence.
• Residents of the following U.S. states may not enter the contest (their right to buy and enjoy the albums remains unaffected): Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Tennessee, and Vermont.
• Residents of U.S.-sanctioned countries and regions — Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Russia, Belarus, Venezuela, Myanmar, and the Crimea, Luhansk, and Donetsk regions — may neither purchase from the store nor enter the contest.
• Employees of the company and their first-degree relatives may not enter the contest.

4. Contest period

The contest runs monthly: entries are accepted from the first day of the month until 23:59 (11:59 PM) Cairo time on the last day of the month, and the winner is announced within three days of the period's end. There is one contest picture per month, announced on the website before the month begins.

5. How to enter

• Buy any album from the store during the contest month; every album comes with a unique serial, which is your purchase and contest-entry number; your files are delivered by private download links.
• Color that month's golden picture, included with your album, by hand and in your own style, then email a clear photo or scan of your coloring (JPG or PNG) to contest@zegyptllc.com from the same email used for the purchase, with the subject "Monthly contest entry" and your album serial in the body — one entry per email message.
• One serial = one entry. Every serial and the registered purchase email are verified; any invented, reused, or non-issued serial is rejected. Entries are screened and registered on receipt; a file that cannot be opened or read cannot be judged. The company contacts winners only.
• Gift serials do not enter the contest. The free gift album you receive when you create your account for the first time comes with a gift serial, which is not eligible for entry; entry is only with serials of purchased albums.
• Every additional album bought in the same month earns one additional entry with the same monthly picture (a new coloring in a different style) — with no cap on the number of entries.
• One prize per person per month; each person's highest-scoring entry is the one that competes for the prize.

How to photograph and send your colored picture

1. Place the page on a flat surface in good light — daylight near a window is best — and do not use flash, as it changes the colors.
2. Hold your phone directly above the page, parallel to it (do not shoot at a tilt), so the page fills the frame and all four corners are fully visible.
3. Tap the screen to focus, take the photo, and check that it is sharp before sending; retake it if it is blurry.
4. Send the photo exactly as taken: no filters, no color adjustments, and no cropping of the page edges — any editing may cause your entry to be rejected.
5. Send it as an attachment (JPG or PNG) to contest@zegyptllc.com from the same email you purchased with, and put your serial number in the email subject.

6. Judging

• Entries are judged by a disclosed AI judging system against fixed published criteria: coloring quality and neatness 40% — color harmony 30% — creativity 30%.
• The color rule (from the November 2026 contest): the Golden Picture must be colored with a maximum of 8 different colors; black and white count toward the eight when used for coloring; shades of a single color and shading with the same pencil are allowed and count as one color, and blending colors is not allowed. An entry that exceeds the color limit is disqualified at screening, before judging.
• Every entry's scores are documented, and company management reviews the top scores and approves the winner before announcement.
• The coloring must be entirely your own work; any stolen, copied, or AI-colored work is disqualified immediately.
• If entries tie in total score, the tie is broken first by the creativity sub-score; if still tied, the entry received earliest wins. Any scoring error identified before the winner announcement will be corrected.
• Judging decisions and management approval are final and binding on all entrants.

7. Prizes and funding

• Each month's prize is announced on the website before the month begins, and the announced prize is final and does not change during the month.
• The Prize Fund's balance accumulates from Album sales across months and is never reset to zero. Each month's prize is determined by the Company and announced before that month begins; it is not derived from a fixed amount of the Fund.
• The grand prize grows with the fund's balance with no fixed cap. What the grand prize is, and its value, are determined by the company and announced on the website before the month in which it is to be awarded. The grand prize is awarded in the month its full value is reached by the fund; if the threshold is not reached, it rolls over to the next month while the balance keeps accumulating. Rollover applies to the grand prize only; every month's announced regular prize is always paid in its month.
• Anyone who takes part in all three monthly contests of a season earns the season-completion gift: the exclusive golden album — a guaranteed gift for every completer, not dependent on winning.

8. Winner verification and prize delivery

• Before delivering any prize, the company verifies the winner's eligibility: serial validity, purchase email, and legal residence, and may request an identity document for this purpose only.
• If the highest-scoring entrant proves ineligible or cannot be verified, their entry is void and the prize passes to the next-highest eligible entry.
• The winner's name is announced on the website, and an email is sent from the company's official email to arrange prize delivery. The winner must respond and complete verification within two months of that email; otherwise the prize passes to the next-highest eligible entry.
• The winner is responsible for any taxes on their prize under the law of their residence. As a company policy, if the winner resides in the United States and their prizes in one calendar year reach $600 or more, the company may request a Form W-9 before delivery and will complete the tax reporting required by law (such as Form 1099-MISC where applicable).
