No. Due to the large number of submissions, only the finalists will be notified of their status. If you do not hear from Sony Liv by December 10, then you’ve not been shortlisted for the next round.

Why are only residents of India allowed to participate?:
Running contests of broad geographical scope requires observing the regulations of all of the jurisdictions in question. The legal complexities of doing so make it prohibitive, if not impossible, to run competitions that are open to all jurisdictions, states and territories, in some instances. Restrictive laws in certain jurisdictions sometimes prompt ineligibility of residents outside India

You and your partner must be 18+ years old to be eligible to participate in the contest

Photographs that were taken before Oct 3, 2015 are not eligible.

Photographs must have been taken within one (1) month before the date of entry with the consent of your partner. Photographs that have won other contests may be submitted.

How old can my entry be?:
Photographs must have been taken within one month of the date of entry.

Yes and a url link shall be shared with you to take it further

Do photos have to be taken with a digital camera?:
Submitted photos do NOT have to be digital photos from a digital camera. Any digital scan will do, as long as the end result is a JPG or JPEG file. We do not, however, accept hard copies of photographs.

Will you accept photos with watermarks?:
We will always display a credit alongside your photo as it appears on the site. We encourage you to remove any watermarks so we can see your photograph without any part covered up.

Is image manipulation allowed in the photo contest?:
Minor burning, dodging, and color correction are acceptable. However the physical features as well as the overall look of the person cannot be changed. We trust our users to keep it real and submit unaltered files. We cannot research every photo entry. However, if a photo and story is chosen as a winner, it will be scrutinized for possible alterations and will be decided on MSM’s discretion

What should I include in my story with my photograph?:
Captions are a good way to engage others in your photography. So take the time to write about the place, time, setting, and the most heartfelt thing that your partner would have done for you

Are captions fact-checked for accuracy?:
We trust our users to give accurate caption information, so we do not research or fact-check their captions. However, if a photo and story is chosen, it will be fact-checked and the final decision will be on MSM’s discretion

When I submit a photo to the photo contest, what rights does MSM team have to my submission?:
MSM will have the nonexclusive, perpetual right to use your image in connection with the contest and promotion of the contest, in any media now or hereafter known, including, but not limited to display at a potential exhibition of shortlisted & final winner video; print material or online, highlighting entries or winners of the contest or in context to any communication w.r.t. Power Couple. Please read through the Terms and conditions for further information on the rights you grant when submitting a photograph to the Power Couple Contest

I accidentally uploaded the wrong photo and wrong story . Can I delete my entry and submit a new photo?:
A. Unfortunately, due to the large volume of photos and stories submitted to the contest, all entries are final and cannot be replaced or modified.

Is the partner consent required when submitting a photograph as well as the story to the contest?:
By submitting a photograph to the Power Couple Contest you warrant that you are the owner of the image, and that you have obtained any necessary partner as well as third-party consents.
The photograph I’d like to submit was taken with my partner’s consent but my partner is not in town. There’s no way for me to get a consent from partner. Can I still enter this photograph in the contest?
If your photograph and story is chosen as a winner of the contest, your partner’s presence and consent is mandatory.

What is a Consent?:
If any person in your photograph is recognizable, we assume that you have received necessary consent by that person or those persons before uploading the image. Images of unrecognizable people do not need consent. A consent is a binding contract between the photographer and the subject(s) of the photograph. By agreeing with the terms and conditions, the subject of the photograph forgoes the right to sue for specific types of claims.

Do photos of children require consent?:
Yes, if the children are recognizable (see answer above). But consent for anyone under the age of majority must be given by the subject’s legal guardian—not by the child.

Will my chances of winning increase if I am engaged/married and not simply dating?:
MSM will not differentiate on the marital status of the entrants while selecting a winner.

You shall be entering the show as a participant. The details of the same will be shared if your entry is shortlisted or you’re the winner.

If I were selected, when and where am I expected to come?:
MSM team shall get in touch with you and share the details once you are shortlisted

There cannot be any change w.r.t. partners in the show. Your entry is being judged and shortlisted on the basis of the partner whose details and pictures you have uploaded.

What all I am expected to do with my partner?:
This is a reality show to test your compatibility with your partner through various physical and emotional tasks. The details of the same will be shared if your entry is shortlisted or you’re the winner.
