Normal adjustments such as cropping, brightness, contrast, or colour correction are permitted, provided they do not materially misrepresent the photograph or entry.

The Sponsor may reject any entry it determines is incomplete, inaccessible, misleading, inappropriate, noncompliant, or inconsistent with the spirit of the Contest.


7. Winner Selection

Subject to verification, the three eligible LinkedIn posts receiving the highest number of valid likes by the Engagement Cutoff will each be selected as a potential winner.

Only likes publicly displayed on the original eligible LinkedIn post will count. Comments, impressions, views, reposts, and engagement appearing only on copied or shared versions of the post will not count.

LinkedIn may display different reaction types. Unless otherwise stated by the Sponsor, the publicly displayed aggregate reaction count on the original post may be used as the engagement count where LinkedIn does not provide a separately verifiable “like” count.

The Sponsor may investigate engagement patterns and exclude engagement that it reasonably determines resulted from:

  • Bots or automated accounts.
  • Purchased, exchanged, or traded engagement.
  • Fake, duplicate, inactive, or suspicious accounts.
  • Coordinated engagement schemes.
  • Incentivized likes or reactions.
  • Technical manipulation.
  • Conduct that violates LinkedIn’s policies.
  • Any other artificial attempt to influence the results.

The Sponsor’s verified engagement count will be final to the extent permitted by law.


8. Tie-Breaking

If two or more eligible entries have the same number of valid likes, a panel appointed by the Sponsor will evaluate the tied entries according to the following criteria:

Criterion Weight
Creativity and originality 40%
Quality and clarity of the photograph 30%
Relevance to the Dreamforce experience 20%
Visibility and use of the gammaNext arrowhead 10%

The tied entry receiving the highest total score will rank higher. If a tie remains, the entry with the higher creativity and originality score will rank higher. If a further tie remains, the Sponsor’s judging panel will make the final determination based on overall execution.


9. Winner Announcement and Verification

Potential winners are expected to be announced on the official gammaNext LinkedIn page on October 2, 2026, subject to completion of the Sponsor’s verification process.
