RE: Fear Factor Smoothie Contest


JDK a peer of mine at Full Sail's response to last week's assignment.


To whom it may concern,



My name is JDK and I promotions consultant and liability analyst for CDE Promotions. It has been brought to my attention that you will be hosting a contest (Fear Factory Mystery Smoothie Contest) on Wednesday at 8:30am in downtown Orlando. It is my understanding that the first five persons to arrive will become contestants, which will be required to drink a Mystery Smoothie Concoction. The fastest drinker of the concoction will win a five hundred dollar grand prize. Although this event sounds fun and exciting, there are a few concerns that have been brought to my attention.



After reviewing your contest outline/proposal, I have a few concerns regarding the liabilities of the contest.





As each contestant is required to drink a “Mystery Mixture.” I believe it may necessary to first have each contestant sign a waiver of liability, ensuring that no contestant can file claims or sue CDE promotions for illness or medical issues that may arise from the drinking of said mystery smoothie.



Additionally, each contestant should re be required to provide any allergies to the hosts of the contests to ensure their safety and CDE Promotions safety. the ingredients that may be used must be provide dto the contestants ahead of time with a disclaimer that they may "Drink at Their Own Risk."



It should be made known that contestants must be at least 18 years of age in order to participate in the event. Any younger and the contestants would have to have their parents/guardians in attendance to sign a waiver allowing their child to participate. Each contestant will be required to provide proof of id.

Note Should the Mystery Smoothies contain alcohol, each contestant would then be required to be of the consenting age of 21 or older, with proof of ID.



A permit shall be needed for the event and Proper authorities shall be notified, as the contest will be held in a parking lot on a busy downtown location. The authorities will direct traffic and assist with the parking of contestants for the event.



It has been brought to my attention that you are hosting an event in an intersection of downtown Orlando on Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. I was informed that the contest is to be the first contestant there and to drink the smoothie concoction the fastest.



It is also suggested that CDE Promotions obtain liability insurance.





In the end, I believe that this contest can and will be successfully executed with the proper adjustments made to the event/contest to ensure guest and contestant safety. Indemnifying CDE Promotions of any liabilities that may occur. Should there be any questions, please feel free to contact me, or my office, at CDE promotions to discuss any questions or concerns.

Respectfully,
JDK
