How many winners will there be and how will they be chosen?

This is a game of skill.  A judging panel appointed by the Promoter will review each valid entry and will judge the entries based on pet dog appearance, creativity and brand suitability to determine the winners.  Chance plays no part in how the winners will be selected. 

There will be 6 winners determined in respect of this competition – 3 weekly prize winners, 1  First prize winner, 1 Second prize winner, and 1 Third prize winner, as follows:

·         The valid entry judged to be the best each week, for the first 3 weeks of the Competition Period, will each win the weekly prize. There is a limit of 1 weekly prize per person.

·         The valid entry judged to be the best overall from all entries received during the Competition Period will win the major prize.

·         The 2nd best entry will receive the 2nd prize

·         The 3rd best entry will receive the 3rd prize

·         Value of all prizes are calculated at retail prices, on the date of prize issuance

For the avoidance of doubt, weekly prize winners are eligible to be considered for the other major prizes.

All judging decisions are as determined by the Promoter, in their absolute discretion.

The Promoter may judge additional reserve entries and record them in order, in case a winning entry/entrant is deemed invalid or a prize is unclaimed (Reserve Entrants).

The Promoter reserves the right to obtain further information from you (regarding your pet dog's age/health/personality) in order to deem an entry valid.
