8. After the relevant Nomination Period, an email will be sent to all those who submitted valid entries in the applicable Birth Announcement period, informing them to review the Huggies Website, which will indicate (by icons over the relevant entries), which 8 photo submissions (other than Web Only Introductions) received for that Birth Announcement period received the most ‘likes’ (as calculated above). This will be sent by *12:00 NZDT/NZST of the Friday directly following the end of the applicable Nomination Period.
