4) The sponsor’s decision is final.

5) The competition is open to men and women, there is no upper age restriction.

6) Voting forms will not be accepted without all required information being completed and we reserve the right to retract the place of any finalist if they provide false information. If a form is sent to us incomplete, or we are sent inappropriate pictures we may get in touch for further information or new images – this is dependent on time constraints and so does not automatically apply.

8) Some prizes may require a guardian to be present if the winner is aged under 18. Information is available on request.
