  • Participation is open to all accepted customers of participating sellers
  • Only purchases made within the duration of the contest period qualify for entries.
  • The maximum amount a winner may receive is $40 CAD. Should a winning participant’s purchases for the Stampathon exceed $40 CAD, they will still receive only the prize amount of $40 CAD.
  • In the event of a winning participant’s purchases totaling less than the allotted prize amount, the winner will be given the option to make an additional purchase, up to the missing amount. Should the participant reject this option, the remainder of the prize is considered unclaimed, and will be forfeited.
    • e.g.  A winning participant’s purchase amount is $25. On top of receiving $25 CAD to cover their purchases, they may then ask Anime Evolution to make a purchase from a listed artist/vendor up to $15 (including shipping) to add up to the allotted $40 CAD. Similarly, they may choose to make the $15 purchase themselves and have AE reimburse it. Should they decide against this option, this means they decide to receive only the $25 CAD. 
  • Purchases made as a part of “Show & Tell” prizes cannot be used towards the “Stampathon”.
