5. How to Enter

No purchase or payment is necessary to enter or win. A purchase will not improve your chances of winning.

To enter, participants must take an original photograph of themselves in front of any Save Max Auto billboard located in the Houston, Texas area during the Contest Period. The photograph must clearly show the entrant and the Save Max Auto billboard in the same frame.

Participants must then submit their entry by publishing the photograph as a feed post or Reel on the entrant’s public Instagram account, including the hashtag #SaveMaxAuto in the caption and tagging the official sponsor account @SaveMaxAuto. The entrant’s account must remain public from the time of posting through July 12, 2026 so that Sponsor can locate, evaluate, and (if applicable) repost the entry. Posts made only to Instagram Stories, Highlights, private accounts, archived posts, or accounts where the hashtag or tag is missing, misspelled, or hidden will not be counted as valid entries. By posting and tagging, the entrant confirms the photograph is their original work and grants the Sponsor a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, repost, and display the photograph and the entrant’s Instagram handle for marketing, advertising, and promotional purposes across all media. This contest is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Instagram or Meta Platforms, Inc.

Limit one entry per person. Multiple entries from the same individual will result in disqualification.

8. Judging Criteria

This is a skill-based contest. Entries will not be selected at random. All eligible entries will first be evaluated by a panel of judges selected by the Sponsor from July 1, 2026 through July 2, 2026. The judges’ panel will review every eligible #SaveMaxAuto entry posted to public Instagram accounts during the Entry Period and will select ten (10) finalists based on the following criteria: creativity and originality (40%), visual quality and composition (30%), and overall representation of the Save Max Auto brand spirit (30%).

From July 3, 2026 through July 8, 2026, the ten (10) finalists will be republished on the official @SaveMaxAuto Instagram account. Public engagement on those reposts — measured as a combination of likes on @SaveMaxAuto’s carousel slide(s) for each entry and votes received via Instagram Story polls referencing each entry — will be aggregated by Sponsor to narrow the field to three (3) finalists (the “Top 3”). Sponsor reserves the right to disregard any engagement Sponsor reasonably determines to be inauthentic, automated, purchased, fraudulent, or otherwise inconsistent with Instagram’s Terms of Use, and to disqualify any finalist whose engagement Sponsor reasonably determines to have been inauthentic.

The same Sponsor-selected judges’ panel will then evaluate the Top 3 on the same criteria — creativity and originality (40%), visual quality and composition (30%), and overall representation of the Save Max Auto brand spirit (30%) — and select one (1) Grand Prize winner. This contest is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Instagram or Meta Platforms, Inc.

The judges' decisions are final and binding. In the event of a tie in either the Top 10 selection or the Grand Prize selection, the Sponsor’s panel will conduct a runoff vote among the tied entries on the same criteria, the result of which is final.

9. Prize

One Grand Prize winner will receive a cash prize of Five Thousand U.S. Dollars ($5,000), paid directly to the winner. The prize may be used for any purpose at the winner’s sole discretion, including but not limited to personal auto insurance premiums.

The prize is non-transferable. The Sponsor will arrange payment with the verified winner within thirty (30) days of receipt of all required verification documents. The winner is solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes associated with receipt of the prize, and a Form 1099-MISC or other applicable tax document will be issued by the Sponsor where required by law.

Approximate Retail Value of the Grand Prize: $5,000.00 USD.

The winner is solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes and any other costs or expenses associated with acceptance or use of the prize. The Sponsor will issue an IRS Form 1099 to the winner if required by law.

10. Winner Notification

The winner will be notified by email and phone on or around July 12, 2026. The winner must respond within 72 hours of notification to claim the prize. If the winner does not respond within 72 hours, the prize may be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected from the remaining finalists.
