• The closing date is shown on the competition page and entries submitted after this date will be excluded from the judging process.
• Any entries containing offensive content and language will be immediately removed.

• Responsibility cannot be accepted for entries that are not received by Creative Encounters for any reason.
• Employees of Creative Encounters and their families can enter the competition but will not be eligible to win the prize.

• The prize is transferable if you would like to gift it to someone else (you will need to supply the email address of the recipient once you receive the winner notification email).
• If for whatever reason the winner is unable or unwilling to accept their prize, a runner up will be chosen by Creative Encounters staff and the prize will default to that individual.
• Any winners will have 30 days upon which to confirm acceptance of their prize, otherwise the offer will become void.
