Earthwatch reserves the right of final approval of all participants and the expedition selection. The total retail value of the Grand Prize may not exceed $10,000 (limited to a maximum of $5,000 per person).

One First Prize will be awarded, a one-week Emergency Vets internship for one person. The prize includes round trip coach air travel to the eVets location, accommodations for 7 days/6 nights, ground transportation and meals. The prize is valued at approximately $3,000.

Each winner will be requested to keep an e-diary documenting his/her experience in text and digital photos and to grant Sponsor the results and proceeds of the e-diary.

When and how will the winners be selected?

The winners will be chosen in a random drawing to be held on or about April 3, 2007.

What are my chances of winning?

Your chances of winning are based on the number of people who enter.

By entering the sweepstakes will I automatically win something?

No, when you enter, you are entering for a chance to win a prize.

I have a friend who wants to enter. Can he or she still participate even though the sweepstakes has already started?

Yes! If your friend is eligible, he/she may enter once a day at http://animal.discovery.com/sweepstakes/roar/2006/ through April 1, 2007.

How many people can enter the sweepstakes?

The sweepstakes has an ongoing registration so it is difficult to say, but there is no maximum number.

Why is the sweepstakes available only to U.S. residents?

Different rules and regulations associated with games of chance in other countries make it difficult to administer sweepstakes and games outside the United States.

What should I do if I can't reach the sweepstakes web pages when I try to visit?

Come back and try again another time! Many Internet sites experience "traffic jams" from time to time. Refreshing the page may help. However, if you have problems connecting to all web sites, contact your system administrator; you may have a problem at your end.

I'm having trouble entering the sweepstakes. My computer seems to be too slow or times out repeatedly. What should I do?

From time to time, the Internet experiences heavy periods of traffic. The slowdown in the registration process is often caused by a large number of consumers trying to register for the sweepstakes at the same time. If you are experiencing "time-outs" while trying to register, we suggest that you wait a few minutes or try again at a later time.

I'm a Macintosh user. Will I have trouble entering the sweepstakes?

No, the sweepstakes is equally accessible through Macs and PCs.

Where can I send feedback about the sweepstakes?

You can send general feedback and suggestions to online_sweepstakes@discovery.com.

What if I have read all of the FAQs and I'm still having a problem entering?
