Welcome to the Best of the Best Pharmacy Awards (the “Awards”), which recognizes exceptional pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, pharmacy interns, and pharmacy teams in communities across the U.S.
No purchase or payment is necessary. By participating in the awards, participants agree to be bound by these terms and the decisions of SingleCare (the “Sponsor”).
- Eligibility: The Awards are open to legal residents of the 50 United States, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, and other U.S. territories who wish to nominate a pharmacist, pharmacy technician, pharmacy intern, and/or a pharmacy team in the United States. Employees, officers, and directors of Sponsor, and their respective parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, related companies, representatives, agents, those engaged in the development or production of these Awards, and the immediate family and household members of each such employee, officer, and director, are not eligible to participate.
- How to participate: Nominate a pharmacist, pharmacy technician, pharmacy intern, or pharmacy team (the “Nominee”) by visiting pharmacyawards.com. Follow the instructions to complete the Awards nomination form by providing as much of the following information as available: the nominee’s name and pharmacy (with postal address) and your email address, plus, a short description about how the Nominee has inspired or helped you and why the Nominee deserves to be recognized. Your nomination and short description are your “Submission” and you are the “Nominator.” If you are under 18 years of age, you must provide your parent or legal guardian’s email address during the nomination process and must review these terms with your parent/guardian.
- Timing: Nominations will be accepted beginning May 23, 2023, starting at 9 a.m. ET and ending Jun. 23, 2023 at 5 p.m. ET. Potential Nominees will be notified on an ongoing basis, generally within three weeks of receipt of their nomination.
Note: Nominees must be current pharmacists, pharmacy interns, or pharmacy technicians. Nominees who are retired are not eligible. Previous Best of the Best Pharmacy Awards winners are also not eligible for nomination.
After you submit your Submission, the Nominee will be notified by phone if being considered for Award. Nominator and Nominee may be asked to provide more information for Sponsor to confirm identity and eligibility.
By uploading your Submission, you agree that your Submission conforms to the Guidelines and Content Restrictions provided below (the “Restrictions”). Sponsor may reject your Submission and disqualify you from the Awards if it believes that your Submission fails to conform to the Guidelines and Restrictions.
Content Restrictions:
- The Submission must not contain material that violates or infringes anyone’s rights.
- The Submission must not disparage anyone or anything.
- The Submission must not contain trademarks other than those owned by Sponsor, which Nominator has a limited license to use in his/her Submission.
- The Submission must not contain material that is mean, unkind, or inappropriate (e.g., no indecent, obscene, hateful, tortious, defamatory, libelous, discriminatory, bigoted, or racist material).
- The Submission must not contain material that violates any laws or regulations in the United States.
Each Nominator represents and warrants that his/her Submission does not contain any material that would violate any laws or third-party rights. Nominator also represents and warrants that he/she has permission from anyone referenced in the Submission to reference him/her in the Submission. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any Submission that it believes contains offensive or inappropriate content or does not comply with these Terms. Submissions will not be acknowledged.
Limit: Once submitted, unless the Nominator or the Nominee requests that Submission be withdrawn, a Submission will be retained by Sponsor and may be considered again for future Awards. Submissions generated by script, macro, or other automated means are void.
License Rights: Each Nominator grants to Sponsor a royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, create derivative works from, and display his/her Submissions in whole or in part, on a worldwide basis, and to incorporate it into other works, in any form, media or technology now known or later developed, including for promotional or marketing purposes. If requested, Nominator (and, if Nominator is a minor, Nominator’s parent/guardian) will sign documentation confirming these license rights. Released Parties (defined below) are not responsible for lost, late, stolen, damaged, incomplete, invalid, garbled, delayed, or misdirected Submissions; all of which will be void.
Award Determination: Winners will be selected as follows:
Nomination information will be considered by SingleCare’s Editorial Review Board and awards will be chosen based on information provided at their discretion. SingleCare’s Editorial Review Board is comprised of SingleCare staff and past Best of the Best Pharmacy Awards winners.
Sponsor reserves the right to contact Winners for more information in connection with the Awards and to retain any information collected for use in judging and winner selection, future use in promoting or publicizing the Awards, and other SingleCare awards programs, and for such other uses as Sponsor deems proper.
Sponsor Selection: Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Sponsor expressly reserves the right to identify and select other nominees, which may, from time to time, be discovered by Sponsor or identified by pharmacies or other organizations.
Notice to Winners: The potential Winners will be notified by phone or email in July, August, or September 2022. If the potential Winner does not respond to such notification within five business days of the notification, or otherwise comply with the requirements in the notification, he/she may be disqualified.
Sponsor reserves the right to choose alternate potential Winners if information in the Submission cannot be verified to the satisfaction of Sponsor or if potential Winner fails to return any required documentation. If a potential Winner is disqualified for any reason, the award may be awarded to an alternate, if any, selected in accordance with the Judging Criteria described above. Selection as a Winner is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements in these Terms. Each potential winner is subject to verification by sponsor and will not receive the award unless and until potential Winner’s eligibility has been verified.
Awards: Each Winner will receive the honor of being named ($0 cash value). One award per person.
General Conditions: Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend, and modify the Awards program, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures, human error, or any other factor impairs the proper functioning or integrity of the Awards, as determined by Sponsor. If the Awards Program is terminated, Sponsor may determine the Winner(s) from among all non-suspect, eligible Submissions received up to the time of such action using the judging procedure outlined above. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the Submission process or the operation of the Awards or to be acting in violation of the Terms or in an unfair or disruptive manner. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that provision. The use of the terms “include” or “including” in these Terms is illustrative and not limiting.
