Official 2026 Rules

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. By entering, all Entrants are deemed to agree to be bound by these Official Rules. Failure to adhere to the Official Rules will result in disqualification of any submitted Entries. The Sponsor reserves the right to determine if an Entry is invalid at any stage at its sole discretion.

Please read them carefully.

1. Eligibility. The 2026 Colemans Quest for NL’s Best Contest (the “Contest”) is open to (i) legal residents of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) who, at time of entry, are at least 18 years of age, and to (ii) legally organized business entities which, at time of entry, are validly authorized to do business in NL and have business operations in NL. Colemans (the “Sponsor”) will review all applicants to ensure each entry meets entrance requirements. To enter, an entrant must be able to satisfy the Product Eligibility Requirements described below.

2. Persons and Entities Not Eligible. Current vendors who have products listed in Sponsor’s stores, are prohibited from entering products already listed. If a current vendor would like to enter the competition, they must enter products that are, at the time of the contest, not actively listed in Sponsor stores. In addition, the Contest is not open to Sponsor (and its parent companies, subsidiaries, and affiliates) and any person who is directly involved in the Contest’s administration, judging, or selection process. Sponsor may disqualify any Entry if Sponsor determines, in its sole discretion, that the Entry presents an actual or perceived conflict of interest that could compromise the fairness or integrity of the Contest.

3. How to Enter. Entries will be accepted beginning 12:00:01 a.m. Newfoundland Standard Time (“NST”) on May 20, 2026, and ending at 4:59:59 p.m. NST on or about July 1, 2026 (the “Contest Period”). For any Entry, the “Entrant” shall be the person or entity on whose behalf the Entry is submitted. In the event that the Entrant is an entity, the Entrant must also designate an “Entrant Contact” in the Online Entry Form (defined below) who is knowledgeable about the Eligible Products; authorized to make and receive all communications related to the Contest; and authorized to make all of Entrant’s decisions related to the Contest.

The Entrant must complete the “Online Entry Form” found on Sponsor’s website and provide all information requested in the form.

In the Online Entry Form, the Entrant must nominate at least one (1) and no more than three (3) Eligible Products (as defined below) per official entry. There is no limit to the number of official entries an Entrant may submit. The Sponsor encourages Entrants to group similar products within a single entry. For example, if jam is the product being entered, the Entrant may submit up to three (3) flavours of jam within one entry accompanied by a single video. If the Entrant also wishes to submit additional product categories (e.g., three varieties of granola), a separate Online Entry Form and corresponding video must be submitted for each additional entry.

The Entrant must create a video of no more than two (2) minutes in length describing and depicting the nominated Eligible Product(s) and featuring the Entrant or Entrant Contact (the “Video Submission”). The Video Submission may also describe the Entrant, the Entrant’s business, the Entrant’s background; or provide other relevant information about the Entrant and the Eligible Product(s). Video submissions must be provided as either a private video with shared access granted to the Sponsor, a link to a YouTube video, or a link to a Google Drive file for viewing. All video submissions must comply with the technical requirements outlined in the Online Entry Form.Entrants are solely responsible for ensuring that any Video Submission link and/or shared-access file is valid, accessible to Sponsor, and remains available (without restriction, password change, expiration, deletion, takedown, or other access limitation). Sponsor is not responsible for, and may disqualify an Entry due to, any inability to access or view a Video Submission for any reason, including without limitation incorrect URLs, expired links, permission settings, file removals, platform outages, or other technical issues.

The “Entry” shall constitute and include all information submitted by Entrant to Sponsor in connection with the Contest, whether via the Online Entry Form, the Video Submission, any judging or evaluation process, or otherwise.

Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any Entry that it determines in its sole discretion to be materially incomplete, inaccurate, or ineligible. Sponsor reserves the right to extend or modify the entry deadline in its sole discretion.

By uploading a link of their Video Submission, Entrant agrees that their Video Submission conforms to the Video Guidelines and Content Restrictions listed below (collectively, the “Guidelines and Restrictions”) and that the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may remove any Video Submission and disqualify any Entrant from the Contest if the Sponsor believes a Video Submission fails to conform to the Guidelines and Restrictions.

4. Product Eligibility Requirements. Entrant may nominate certain food, beverage, or general merchandise products as defined below and in the Online Entry Form. Only Eligible Products may be nominated. An “Eligible Product” is a product that (i) is produced, manufactured, grown, or harvested substantially in NL; (ii) can be supplied by the Entrant for sale in Sponsor’s stores throughout NL; (iii) is suitable for consumption or use by humans or household pets and complies with all federal, provincial, or local laws and regulations applicable to products of its kind; (iv) can be sold at retail without infringing, misappropriating, diluting, or otherwise violating, directly or indirectly, the patent, trade secret, copyright, trademark, right of publicity, or any other rights of any third party, and without violating any judicial or administrative order; (v) can be sold at retail without any license or permit other than those customarily held by Sponsor’s stores; (vi) fits one of the food, beverage, or general merchandise categories specified for selection in the Online Entry Form; (vii) is not a product regulated by the Newfoundland and Labrador Liquor Corporation (including, but not limited to, both alcohol and cannabis products); and (viii) is otherwise suitable for sale in retail grocery stores.

5. Judging. All eligible Entries will be reviewed by one or more panels of judges selected by Sponsor using such criteria as they may deem appropriate, including (without limitation) an assessment of each Eligible Product’s attributes, customer appeal, value, uniqueness, market potential, and differentiation from products already available at most Sponsor’s stores; the qualities, marketability, and readiness for production of the Eligible Products; the Entrant’s commercial preparedness and suitability as a potential retail supplier; the quality of the Entry, including the Video Submission; and the Entrant’s overall compliance with the Official Rules. In the course of this review, Sponsor and/or the judges may (but are not obligated to) request additional information from the Entrant or Entrant Contact; engage in meetings and discussions with Entrants or Entrant Contacts; request product samples for testing or sampling purposes; and/or conduct Entrant site visits; and may do so at times and locations selected by Sponsor, including in-person or remotely. Entrants agree to cooperate with such requests. The judges may, in their discretion, conduct the judging in one or more rounds, including by creating an internal shortlist of Entries for further evaluation.

One (1) Grand Prize winner will be selected from all eligible entries. Up to one (1) runner-up may also be selected at the Sponsor’s discretion based on the overall quality of the remaining entries. Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible Entries received during the Contest Period.

Sponsor’s and the judges’ determinations are final and binding in all matters relating to the Contest, and Sponsor is under no obligation to provide reasons for any decision. Sponsor will use reasonable efforts to ensure that any judge with an actual conflict of interest is recused from evaluating the applicable Entry; however, Sponsor’s failure to identify or address any such conflict shall not invalidate the Contest or any decision made in connection with the Contest.

6. Winner Announcement. The Grand Prize Winner will be contacted on or about July 7, 2026 and will be required to keep this information confidential until it is publicly announced. To be declared a winner and to receive any prize, the selected Entrant must remain eligible under these Official Rules at the time of prize awarding.

There may be an opportunity for an in-store event to celebrate the Grand Prize Winner and their product, subject to logistical feasibility and the winner’s consent. Such an event may include, but is not limited to, product demonstrations, formal recognition of the winner, cheque presentation, and other community-focused activities designed to engage customers and showcase the winning product. For greater certainty, any such event (if held) is promotional in nature, is not part of any prize, and has no retail value.

Event details, including location, date, and time, will be determined at the Sponsor’s discretion and are not guaranteed. Any costs associated with the winner’s participation in any such event (if held), including travel and accommodation, will be the sole responsibility of the winner. The Sponsor will work with the winner to identify a suitable store location based on geographic considerations and coordinate event details accordingly.

7. Winners and Prizes. One (1) Grand Prize will be awarded. The Grand Prize Winner will receive: (a) a CAD $1,000 cash prize; and (b) a Listing Opportunity, as further described in Section 8 (collectively, the “Grand Prize”). One (1) runner-up prize may also be awarded, at the Sponsor’s sole discretion, based on the overall quality of the remaining eligible Entries. If a runner-up is selected, the runner-up’s prize shall consist solely of a commemorative plaque (the “Runner-Up Prize”), and the runner-up shall not be entitled to any cash (or cash equivalent) prize, Listing Opportunity, or any other compensation, benefit, or consideration of any kind. All prizes will be awarded in Newfoundland and Labrador only.

Subject to successful winner verification and execution of any required releases and/or acknowledgements, Sponsor will use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) deliver or make available the CAD $1,000 cash portion of the Grand Prize within thirty (30) days after the public announcement of the Grand Prize Winner; (ii) deliver the Runner-Up Prize (if awarded) within sixty (60) days after the public announcement of the Grand Prize Winner; and (iii) commence the Listing Opportunity within a commercially reasonable period following completion of vendor onboarding and setup, and in any event within ninety (90) days after completion of such onboarding and setup, unless delayed due to circumstances beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control (including product readiness, regulatory compliance requirements, supply constraints, or store operational requirements).

8. Listing Opportunity. The Listing Opportunity consists of a twelve (12) month product listing opportunity for the winning Eligible Product(s) across all Sponsor’s store locations in Newfoundland and Labrador, subject to standard vendor onboarding requirements and product ordering at Sponsor’s commercial discretion. The Grand Prize Winner will be required to work with Sponsor to determine and implement a distribution and delivery approach that is logistically feasible for all store locations and that ensures proper product freshness, quality, and handling, taking into account factors such as shelf life, storage requirements, delivery frequency, packaging, and any applicable food safety or regulatory requirements. The Listing Opportunity is promotional in nature, is not transferable, has no cash value (and no guaranteed retail value), and may not be substituted or assigned by the Grand Prize Winner. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, modify the manner in which the Listing Opportunity is implemented to address operational requirements, provided that the overall value of the Listing Opportunity is not materially diminished. Following the initial twelve (12) month period, Sponsor reserves the right to assess product performance and determine, in its sole discretion, whether to continue, modify, or discontinue the listing. Sponsor shall have no obligation to continue carrying any product that does not meet its established performance standards.

9. Entrant Representations and Warranties. By entering, each Entrant agrees, represents, and warrants that (i) Entrant owns or has a valid license to use all intellectual property rights in and to the nominated Eligible Products, including (without limitation) any patent rights, trade secret rights, copyrights, and trademark rights in and to the products, any rights of publicity exploited in the products or packaging, their labels, and their manufacturing processes; (ii) neither submission of the Entry nor the sale of Entrant’s Eligible Products in Colemans stores would infringe, misappropriate, dilute, or otherwise violate the rights of any other person or entity, including (without limitation) the intellectual property rights of any other person or entity; (iii) the Entrant is, or can readily become, capable of producing its nominated Eligible Products in sufficient quantities to supply stores operated by Colemans throughout NL; (iv) the products nominated by Entrant satisfy the requirements to be Eligible Products defined herein; and (v) the Entrant is eligible to participate and the Entry complies with these Official Rules.
