This Policy represents the sole, authorized statement of MEK.org website practices with respect to the drawings for prizes for Iowa kids grades 6-12.

One lucky Iowa student will win an iPod nano, approximately each month from a drawing. The student must seek out a school teacher or school counselor in the Iowa public or private schools to be his or her sponsor. Most of the time the student will use the name of his or her classroom teacher. If the student is home schooled, they must seek a sponsor who is a teacher or counselor in the Iowa public or accredited private schools.

If the student needs to change the name of the sponsor, the student can send a letter to MEK Foundation. In that letter, provide the original teacher or counselor's name, school, and the five digit number that the student submitted to the website after taking the Meth Endangers Kids information test.

Send the change in sponsor's name to :
MEK Foundation Suite 300
6001 Westown Parkway
West Des Moines, IA 50265

The sponsor of the prize winner will also receive a $25 gift certificate for Best Buy.
