Categories are: Design Your Own Coin, Financial Capability Crossword, and Financial Capability Word Search. If no entries are received in a category, prizes that would have been awarded to winners in that category will be redistributed, and additional winners will be selected in other categories. All winners will be notified by Friday, May 10; if we are unable to contact a winner, or if a person chosen as a winner is deemed ineligible, another winner will be selected.

In May 2024, Bay Federal Credit Union will select up to nine (9) eligible winners; three (3) winners will receive a prize worth $50, and six (6) winners will receive a prize worth $25.

Individual winners are eligible to win no more than one (1) of the prizes listed. If an individual is selected to win more than one prize, the greatest single prize amount will be awarded and all lesser amount(s) will be forfeited. Bay Federal Credit Union reserves the right to substitute a prize with another prize of equal value.

Bay Federal Membership required. Employees and officers of the Credit Union are not eligible. The prize amount awarded to each winner will be credited to the winner's Bay Federal Credit Union Membership Savings account. The account must be open, active, and in good standing* when the money is credited. If a winner's Membership Savings Account is closed on the date money is to be credited, the winner will forfeit the prize amount and Bay Federal Credit Union may select a different winner. The odds of winning will depend on the number of eligible submissions.

*A "savings account in good standing" is one where no account owners (primary owners or joint owners) have caused Bay Federal Credit Union a financial loss of any amount.
