Between all the pictures the Public Vote Prize will go to the picture with more Likes at Face Book before the finish date. This prize can accumulate with the other prizes.

If for any reason the winner gets unreachable and we cant contact him/her in a period of 15 days counting from the first attempt of contact, or if the winner renounces the prize, it will not be given and the amount of money in seeds will be used in the prize of the next contest presented, improving the prizes for that month.
