This promotion (the "Giveaway") is sponsored and operated by Penpals Media LLC, Madison County, Idaho ("Sponsor"). Questions: hello@campusreport.co.
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. Subscribing to Campus Report is free and always will be.
The Giveaway begins Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 8:00 AM Mountain Time and ends Sunday, September 27, 2026 at 11:59 PM Mountain Time (the "Entry Window"). Sponsor's computer clock is the official timekeeper. Entries recorded outside the Entry Window do not count.
Open to legal residents of the State of Idaho who are enrolled students at, or residents near, Brigham Young University-Idaho (Rexburg, Idaho). Entrants must be at least 18 years old at the time of entry.
Employees, officers, directors, and agents of Penpals Media LLC, and their immediate family members and members of their households, are not eligible to enter or win. Accounts marked internal or used for testing by Sponsor are not eligible and are excluded from the drawing.
Subscribe to the Rexburg edition of Campus Report during the Entry Window and confirm your email address by clicking the link in the confirmation email we send you. That gives you one (1) entry.
An unconfirmed signup is not an entry. If you never click the confirmation link, you are not entered.
If you were already a Campus Report subscriber before the Entry Window began, you are not given an entry simply for already being subscribed. You can still earn referral entries under Section 0.6.
Every confirmed subscriber has a personal referral link. You can find yours in the welcome email we send after you confirm, and in the newsletter itself.
You receive one (1) additional entry for each friend who, during the Entry Window, subscribes to the Rexburg edition through your personal referral link and confirms their email address.
There is no cap on referral entries. Ten confirmed referrals is ten additional entries. (For the record: a prior counsel opinion had contemplated a five-entry cap. This Giveaway was approved with no cap.)
A referral only counts if the friend confirms their email during the Entry Window. A referral whose friend never confirms does not count. You cannot refer yourself.
One person may enter once, using one email address. Entering with more than one email address, or creating signups for people who did not personally request them, is prohibited. Sponsor may disqualify any entrant and void any entries that Sponsor reasonably believes to be duplicate, automated, fabricated, or otherwise obtained in violation of these rules, and may do so before or after the drawing.
After the Entry Window closes, Sponsor will conduct random drawings by computer from all eligible entries. Each entry is one chance to win; an entrant with more entries has proportionally more chances, but the drawings are random and no entrant is guaranteed to win.
Drawing date: Tuesday, September 29, 2026.
There will be three separate random draws from the same pool of entries, held in this order: grand prize first, then second prize, then third prize.
One prize per person. Once a person has been drawn for a prize, that person is set aside and is not eligible for the later draws.
The drawings use a recorded random seed so that the same result can be reproduced and verified afterwards.
Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the Entry Window. Sponsor cannot predict this number in advance.
There are three prizes and three winners — one winner per prize:
Total approximate retail value of all prizes: $405.
Prizes are non-transferable. No cash substitution except at Sponsor's sole discretion. All prizes are awarded "as is" with no warranty of any kind.
How winners are contacted: winners are emailed at the address they subscribed with.
A winner must reply within seven (7) days. If a winner does not reply within that period, cannot be reached, is found to be ineligible, or declines the prize, an alternate winner is drawn for that prize from the remaining eligible entries.
Sponsor will announce on the Campus Report Rexburg Instagram account that winners have been drawn, without naming anyone.
Winners may be asked for permission to post their name and photo on Instagram. Giving permission is optional and is not a condition of receiving a prize.
Winners are solely responsible for all federal, state and local taxes on any prize received. For prizes valued at $600 or more in a calendar year from a single sponsor, Sponsor will issue an IRS Form 1099-MISC as required by law.
Minimum age: set at 18+ (Section 0.4). The Master Rules below set no age minimum; for this Giveaway, 18+ controls.
Prize value: a standing guardrail recorded from prior counsel caps any single prize at $500 and any total prize pool at $2,000. This Giveaway's largest single prize is $200 and its total approximate retail value is $405 — inside both figures.
Referral entry cap: prior counsel had contemplated a five-entry cap. This Giveaway runs with no cap (Section 0.6).
These Official Rules govern the sweepstakes promotions (collectively, the "Promotions") operated by Penpals Media LLC, with platform at campusreport.com. Editions include rexburg.report (Rexburg, Idaho), provo.report (Provo, Utah), and orem.report (Orem, Utah). Contact: hello@campusreport.co. Each Edition operates as a separate sweepstakes pool — prizes, winners, and entries are not shared between Editions.
The Promotions are open to legal residents of Idaho (rexburg.report) and Utah (provo.report and orem.report) who are enrolled students at or residents near the following institutions:
Employees, officers, directors, and agents of Penpals Media LLC, and their immediate family members, are not eligible to enter or win.
Each Edition runs three concurrent Promotions on a rolling basis:
Begins each Wednesday at 12:00 AM Mountain Time (MT) and ends the following Tuesday at 11:59 PM MT. A new Weekly Drawing period begins automatically each Wednesday, aligned with the Campus Report newsletter release schedule.
Begins on the first Wednesday of each calendar month at 12:00 AM MT and ends on the Tuesday immediately preceding the first Wednesday of the following month at 11:59 PM MT. Referral entries reset at the start of each new Monthly Drawing period.
Runs on a monthly basis, subject to availability of a confirmed sponsor. If no sponsor is confirmed for a given month, the Sponsored Prize Drawing for that month may be postponed or combined with the following month's drawing. Sponsor and prize details will be announced in the applicable Edition newsletter in advance of each drawing.
Each Edition maintains separate prize pools. The following prizes apply per Edition:
| Drawing | Prize | Frequency | Max Referral Entries |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly Drawing | $25 Cash | Every week | 5 bonus entries (cap) |
| Monthly Drawing | $250 Cash | Every month | 20 bonus entries (cap) |
| Sponsored Prize | Varies by sponsor | Monthly (when available) | 20 bonus entries (cap) |
Cash prizes will be delivered via Venmo. Sponsored prizes are fulfilled by the applicable sponsor. Penpals Media LLC is not responsible for sponsored prize fulfillment failures; however, reasonable efforts will be made to secure alternative prizes in such cases. Prizes are non-transferable and no cash substitution is permitted except at the sole discretion of Penpals Media LLC.
Visit campusreport.com and subscribe to your applicable Edition (rexburg.report, provo.report, or orem.report). Upon confirming your subscription, you will receive one (1) base entry into all active Promotion drawings for that Edition.
NO PURCHASE OR SUBSCRIPTION IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. An alternate mail-in method of entry is available. Full mailing address and instructions will be published here once finalized. Mail-in entrants receive one (1) base entry and are not eligible for referral bonus entries.
Subscribers who refer new subscribers to the same Edition using their unique referral link may earn bonus entries as follows:
A referral is confirmed only when the referred individual subscribes to the same Edition and confirms their subscription. Self-referrals, duplicate accounts, and fraudulent referrals will be disqualified.
Disclosure required: When sharing your referral link, you must disclose that you will receive sweepstakes entries if the recipient subscribes. Failure to disclose may result in disqualification. Example disclosure: "Subscribe using my link and I get entries to win a prize."
Referral bonus entries reset at the start of each new Weekly and Monthly drawing period. Referral counts do not carry over between periods.
Winners are selected by random drawing from all eligible entries using a verified random selection tool. Each entry has an equal chance of being selected relative to total entries in the pool.
Winners will be notified by email at the address associated with their subscription or mail-in entry. If a winner does not respond within five (5) business days of notification, an alternate winner will be selected.
In addition to the recurring drawings above, each Edition will conduct a one-time Milestone Grand Prize Drawing upon reaching 1,000 confirmed subscribers for that Edition. The Milestone Grand Prize is $250 cash, awarded to one (1) randomly selected subscriber from the pool of the first 1,000 confirmed subscribers of that Edition.
Upon reaching 2,000 confirmed subscribers, a second Milestone Drawing will be held among subscribers 1,001 through 2,000, with the prize sponsored by a local business partner to be announced in advance.
Milestone Drawing winner selection and notification follows the same process described in Section 7.
Monthly Sponsored Prizes are provided by third-party local business sponsors. Sponsor identity and prize details will be disclosed in the applicable Edition newsletter prior to each drawing. Sponsors may be arranged by Penpals Media LLC or may approach Penpals Media LLC directly.
Sponsors providing prizes receive advertising placement in the applicable Edition newsletter. Winners' contact information will not be shared with sponsors without the winner's explicit consent.
If a sponsor is unable to fulfill a prize, Penpals Media LLC will make reasonable efforts to provide a substitute prize of equal or greater value, or carry the sponsored prize forward to the following month.
All prizes are subject to applicable federal, state, and local taxes. Winners are solely responsible for reporting and paying any taxes on prizes received. For prizes valued at $600 or more in a calendar year from a single promoter, Penpals Media LLC will issue an IRS Form 1099-MISC to the winner and file a copy with the IRS as required by law.
These Official Rules are governed by the laws of the state of Idaho for rexburg.report participants, and the laws of the state of Utah for provo.report and orem.report participants, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Promotions shall be resolved in the applicable state courts.
Each Edition may include a weekly Scavenger Hunt feature as part of the newsletter. The Scavenger Hunt is a skill-based contest, not a random sweepstakes, and is governed by the following rules:
Scavenger Hunt prizes are sponsored by local businesses and announced in the applicable newsletter issue alongside the weekly clue. Current prizes are also posted at campusreport.com/prizes. Prizes may vary each week and are subject to sponsor availability.
Scavenger Hunt participation is open to all residents of the applicable city regardless of newsletter subscription status. Participants must be physically present at the correct location to submit a valid entry. Submissions from incorrect locations will be disqualified.
Submissions must be made by email to hunt@campusreport.co and must include: (1) participant's full name, (2) the correct answer (location name or description), and (3) a photo taken at the correct location showing the participant or a clear identifying feature of the location. Incomplete submissions will be disqualified. The deadline for each weekly Scavenger Hunt is Sunday at 11:59 PM MT of the same week the clue is published.
The Scavenger Hunt clue and prize are published each Wednesday in the applicable Edition newsletter. Participants who share the clue with others must disclose that they are sharing a contest clue from Campus Report. The Scavenger Hunt is separate from the weekly, monthly, and sponsored sweepstakes drawings and does not affect entry counts for those drawings.
