1.Winner(s):
All those who Participate in the Grand Prize #1 contest may win Shares (Sh), a part, a portion, a division of the total contents of the Contest Grand Prize #1. The percentage of Grand-Prize #1 that a Participant will redeem depends on the number of Shares (Sh) awarded during the Contest Period.
2.Sponsor:
The Founder of the SilverShortage.com Contests, is also the first Sponsor of the original Grand Prizes (referred to herein as the “Founder” and as “Grantor” ). The Founder has also committed to add more to the Grand Prizes, to increase the total contents of the Grand Prizes as the time & income of Founders and other Sponsor(s) allow. We plan to have many Sponsors, Co-Sponsors, and Co-Founders which may then further increase the total contents of both contest prizes.
3.Grand Prize Contest Limit:
Participants are limited to only one Grand Prize Entry at a time and only during an Entry Period. Your entry may only be for Grand Prize #1, or for Grand Prize #2, but not both at the same time.
4.Changing from Grand Prize#1 to #2:
(Only Applicable to Contestants)
A Contestant may switch their Entry, following our procedure, however it may include a loss of all previously awarded Shares for the Grand Prize #1.
Here are examples of two potential scenarios in which a Contestant may want to change their entry. Other potential scenarios may exist.
For example, after a Contestant contacts a potential Participant and hears of a new fact that may potentially disprove the silver shortage investment thesis, the Contestant is free to change their contest entry from Grand Prize #1 to Grand Prize #2 by 'checking out' with Grand Prize #2, however only during an Entry Period and with consequences.
For example, if a Contestant changes their Entry from Grand Prize #1 (No, I cannot disprove) to Grand Prize #2 (Yes, I can disporve), and the new fact, does in fact disprove the silver shortage investment thesis then the Contestant will share the contents of Grand Prize #2 with any other winners of the same Entry Period. However when a Contestant changes their Entry from Grand Prize #1 to Grand Prize #2 the Contestant will immediately forfeit and lose all accumulated Shares of Grand Prize #1. Other procedures & restrictions may apply.
5.Entry Limit:
The maximum number of times (the “Entry
Limit”) a Participant or Contestant may register to claim a Share (Sh) at SilverShortage.com during an Entry Period for either Grand Prize is only one time. If a Contestant wants to change their Entry from Grand
Prize #1 to the Grand Prize #2 they must wait for the next Entry Period.
6.Deadline to Enter:
The current contest Entry Period will close when the appointed time arrives, when the displayed date & time arrives, when the timer counts down to zero (the “Entry Period”). The SilverShortage.com Administrators, referred to herein as the “Administrators” and as “Trustees,” will be the official timekeepers. All Grand Prize contents will be distributed when the contest Ends. In other words, the distribution of the Grand Prizes will only begin after we close the contest at the appointed date & time displayed on the homepage right now. --So this may be your one opportunity now, to claim your Share of either of the Grand Prizes before we End the SilverShortage.com contests and distribute the Grand Prize contents to the Participants. Everyone who participates is a Participant.
7.Potential Winner Notification:
When the contest Entry Period expires (after the timer counts down to zero, or the displayed date and time arrives) the SilverShortage.com Administrators will accumulate & evaluate all Entries for both Grand Prize #1 and Grand Prize #2. Participants and Contestants will be notified via email of the outcome.
All submitted 'facts' for Grand Prize #2, that may disprove the coming silver shortage thesis, submitted by the Participants & Contestants for Grand Prize #2, will be investigated by SilverShortage.com Trust and the findings and judgement will be shared and announced.
There are 2 Grand Prize Contests.
・Grand Prize #1 (No, I cannot at this time Disprove the Silver Shortage Investment thesis)
・Grand Prize #2 (Yes, I may be able to Disprove the Silver Shortage Investment thesis)
Outcome 1: If the Grand Prize #2 is awarded or the Silver Shortage becomes apparent & global news, whichever is first, (see closing Criteria List) then the contest will End (referred to as 'the End') and the contents of Grand Prizes #1 and #2 will be distributed to all eligible Participants & Contestants based on the total quantity of Shares.
Outcome 2: If after evaluation of all entries for Grand Prize #2, no contest Participant is awarded Grand Prize #2, and the silver shortage is not yet apparent and global news, then the SilverShortage.com Administrators will schedule the next Contest Entry Period and the contest will be open again for Entries. This process will repeat until we arrive at Outcome 1.
The contest will End with either Outcome #1 or Outcome #2.
8.Prize Details:
The total contents of each Grand Prize will be displayed clearly on the website homepage. Please see the breakdown below (updated August 2025) for a real life example of how to calculate the total currency value of Grand Prize #1, based on the then current FOREX market price of silver at $38 per ounce. --More silver is planned to be added continually until the contest totally Ends.
(i) Grand Prize
#1 currently at 500 troy ounces of 99.9% pure silver, the price is quoted using the FOREX pair XAG/USD
(ii) Approximate Market Value Of Total (“AMVOT”): $19,000 USD (Roughly ¥2,850,000 JPY)
-To find AMVOT: Find the current FOREX XAG/USD Price and
multiply by total quantity of troy ounces of silver.
(for example, recent price of $38 XAG/USD X 500 QTY = $19,000).
(iii) Approximate Market Value Of 1 Share (“AMVO1S”): $1000 USD (Roughly ¥150,000 JPY)
-AMVO1S: AMVOT Divided by Total Share Quantity (TSQ)
-$19,000 AMVOT / 19 TSQ = $1000 USD AMVO1S (Roughly ¥150,000 JPY)
-TSQ: 19 Shares
(iv) Anticipated Prize Fulfillment Date: To Be Determined ("TBD") after either Grand Prize #2 is Awarded or the Silver Shortage is global news & apparent.
(v) Prize Fulfillment Method & Location: The method is yet TBD, however locations to which we can ship from is within Japan & U.S.A.
Except as explicitly stated, all Shares & Prizes are awarded as is, without any representations or warranties, and cannot be transferred, sold, substituted, or redeemed for cash by Winner without explicit written authorization signed and witnessed by the SilverShortage.com Trustees.
