  2. CONTEST DESCRIPTION: This contest officially begins at 8:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time ("CDT") on November 9, 2009 when the second clue will be posted at www.GrandNationalChallenge.com (first clue was posted on the official website September 16, 2009 and needs to be solved to find the location where the second clue will be located November 9) and ends ("Contest Period") whenever a contestant claims the Grand Prize. The Grand Prize winner will be awarded $10,000.00 in United States Currency plus an undisclosed item ("the item") that was connected in American history to a pivotal moment when two U.S. Presidents, one a freemason and one who believed the freemasons would undermine the nation, changed the way the founding fathers structured the government of the United States. To learn the riddle of the TRUE Lost Symbol, contestants must solve a series of 11 clues, beginning with the first one, located at www.GrandNationalChallenge.com. The clues start out easy and will increase in difficulty leading up to the final clue in the contest. A new clue will appear every Monday on hidden websites across the internet and elsewhere following November 9, 2009, and will be found by those that solve the preceding clues, as each clue leads to the next one. The first contestant to solve all 11 clues and to call the toll-free number provided in the final clue will be the Grand Prize Winner.

  3. HOW TO ENTER: To enter the Contest, access the site located at: www.GrandNationalChallenge.com and follow the online instructions. Groups can organize (Church groups, civic organizations, etc) to help solve the clues but only one person may claim the prize associated with the contest.

  4. GRAND PRIZE WINNER DETERMINATION: The first contestant to solve the final clue and to successfully call the toll-free phone number (provided in the 11th clue) and speak to the Contest Administrator will be declared the Grand Prize Winner.

  5. PRIZES: One Grand Prize consisting of two values will be awarded to the Grand Prize Winner: 1) $10,000.00 in cash drawn in US Currency ("dollars") will be issued by certified funds for the grand prize winner; and 2) a nearly 200 year-old item ("the item") dated to a pivotal year in American History (the item has monetary value and the Grand Prize Winner is encouraged to have said item appraised for collectable value). Grand Prize winner will receive an IRS Form 1099 from the Sponsor for the estimated cash value of the Grand Prize stated above that he/she won in the calendar year won. Prize components requiring shipping will be shipped to U.S. or D.C. addresses only.
