The Knot's 13 Ring Drop Details
Are you ready for it? Our scavenger hunt in New York is over, but that doesn't mean that we are never ever getting back together. ICYMI: We hid 13 prizes (a certain someone's lucky number) around the city and one enchanted fan took home a big ring from Ring Concierge–no paper rings for them. Oh, and in case you love a riddle: See below for the clues that we dropped during our Taylor-made experience.

5. How to win the Contest Prizes and the Sweepstakes Prize:
For the Contest, eligible Participants can win one of the Contest Prizes by arriving at one of the 13 hidden ring boxes prior to a winner being selected for said location, selecting a song to perform from the artist identified by the judge at the respective location, performing the selected song, and being selected by the judge ("Contest Winners"). The judge will be an employee of Sponsor and will select the Contents Winners using the following criteria: 1) what song the Participant selects, and 2) the Participants performance of the selected song. The Contest Winners will provide their first and last name and contact information to Sponsor. All decisions are final. All acts of physical and/or verbal aggression by Participants during the Contest will result in immediate disqualification. Each Participant can only receive one of the Contest Prizes.
For the Sweepstakes, on or about September 5, 2025 ("Drawing Date"), one Participant from all eligible Entries received during the Entry Period will be selected at random by Sponsor (the "Sweepstakes Winner"). Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible Entries received during the Entry Period. All decisions are final.
In the event any of the potential Contest Winners or the potential Sweepstakes Winner (collectively, the "Winners") are determined to be ineligible in accordance with these Official Rules, The Contest Prizes and/or the Sweepstakes Prize may be forfeited and may be awarded to alternate Winners. For the Contest Winners, Sponsor will determine in its sole discretion on how to determine alternative Contest Winners. For the Sweepstakes Winner, an alternative winner will be determined by re-drawing from among all remaining Entries received.
Sponsor reserves the right in their sole discretion to disqualify any Participant found to be tampering with the operation of the Contest and/or the Sweepstakes or in violation of these Official Rules. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of a Participant, the authorized account holder of the email address used to submit the Entry will be deemed to be the Participant. The "authorized account holder" is the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address.
