Overview: During the StrikeUP 2026 stream on February 26, 2026, registrants can earn points by discovering hidden codes and actions placed around the platform, presentation videos, and social accounts.

Prize: One (1) prize awarded to the top point earner by the event cutoff time. The prize is a $5,000 CAD-valued marketing package consisting of either a full WordPress developed website or, 3 months of marketing consulting services provided by noLMIT Marketing (the “Vendor”). Full scope, scheduling, and delivery details will be coordinated directly between the confirmed winner and the Vendor. Prize is not transferable and has no cash alternative.

Entry Period: From the start of the event on February 26, 2026 until the posted gamification cutoff time.

How to Enter: Participate in event activities to collect points as described on the gamification page. Use of bots, duplicate accounts, or any attempt to tamper with scoring will result in disqualification.

Selection and Tie-Breakers: The prize is awarded to the registrant with the highest total points at the cutoff. In the event of a tie, the winner will be the registrant who first reached the final top score based on platform timestamps. If still tied, Sponsor will conduct a random draw among tied registrants.

Winner Confirmation and Delivery: The selected entrant must respond within three (3) business days, correctly answer a skill-testing question, and, if requested, complete a declaration and release. Within seven (7) business days of winner confirmation, Sponsor will introduce the winner to the Vendor (or provide the Vendor’s intake link) to begin prize coordination. Service delivery will occur on a mutually agreed timeline between the winner and the Vendor and may require reasonable lead time (e.g., availability, intake forms, content approvals). If the winner does not reasonably cooperate in scheduling within 60 days of the introduction, Sponsor may deem the prize forfeited and no alternate prize will be offered.

Additional Conditions (service prize):

• Any out-of-scope costs (e.g., paid media budgets, printing, travel) are the winner’s responsibility unless expressly stated otherwise.
• Sponsor is not responsible for Vendor performance; the Vendor is solely responsible for delivering the marketing package.
• Geographic or technical limitations may apply. If the Vendor cannot reasonably fulfil the prize for the winner’s location or circumstances, Sponsor may provide a substitute prize of equal or greater value.
