If multiple registrations are submitted for a group of affiliated companies, Sponsor may select only one of the affiliated companies to receive advertising spots.

4. Recipient Notification and Acceptance. Applicants selected to receive advertising spots will be notified on or before February 3, 2023. Sponsor will attempt to reach each such recipient at the email address and/or phone number provided on its registration form.
