Terms and Conditions of Entry for the Trading Post Vote For A Story To Win
Information on how to enter and the prizes form part of the conditions of entry. Entry into the Promotion is deemed acceptance of these terms and conditions.
The Promoter is Telstra Corporation Limited (ABN 33 051 775 556) of Level 2, 400 George Street, Sydney, NSW 2000 (“Promoter”).
Entry is open to all Australian residents, other than management, employees or contractors of the Promoter and other agencies, firms or companies associated with this Promotion (including suppliers of prizes) and their immediate families (“Eligible Entrants”).
The Promotion commences at 12:01am Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time ("AEDST") on 20 February 2011 and ends at 11:59pm AEDST on 3 April 2011 (“Promotion Period”). To enter and be eligible to win, Eligible Entrants must, during the Promotion Period:
visit the Trading Post website, located at www.tradingpost.com (“Website”);
navigate to the “Make Up A Story to Win” banner available at the top of the page;
submit a Vote for the Story you think best fulfils the Voting Criteria (outlined in clause 9);
submit an answer to the following question in 25 words or less: “Why is this your favourite Story?” (“Entry Question”); and
complete the online entry form, (“Eligible Entry”)
The entry must be:
the original, independent creation of the entrant; and
free from any claims, including copyright or trademark claims by other parties.
The Promotion Period is divided into the following weeks (“Weeks”);
Week Period (all times are AEDST)
1 12:00 am 20/2/11 – 11:59 pm 27/2/11
2 12:00 am 28/2/11 – 11:59 pm 6/3/11
3 12:00 am 7/3/11 – 11:59 pm 13/3/11
4 12:00 am 14/3/11 – 11:59 pm 20/3/11
5 12:00 am 21/3/11 – 11:59 pm 27/3/11
6 12:00 am 28/3/11 – 11:59 pm 3/4/11

Only one Eligible Entry per Week will be accepted per Eligible Entrant. Eligible Entrants will receive one entry for the Voting Prize per Eligible Entry.
Eligible Entrants should Vote for a Story based on the following criteria:
humour;
creative merit;
originality and uniqeness; and
use of three random items referred to.
Standard browsing charges may apply, where applicable, in accessing the internet.
Judging of all Eligible Entries received during the Promotion Period will take place on 5 April 2011. The judging will take place at Level 2, 400 George Street Sydney 2000 (“Judging Location”). Judging will be conducted by a representative of the Promoter. This is a game of skill only and chance plays no part in determining the winner.

The Eligible Entrant deemed by the Judge, in the Judges sole and absolute discretion, to have the most creative answer to the Entry Question will win from the Promoter a cheque in the sum of Five Thousand Dollars (AUD$5,000.00) (inc GST) (“Voting Prize”).

In determining the most creative answer to the Entry Question the Judges may look at how entertaining the entry is. Eligible Entrants can be as serious, silly, cheeky (without being inappropriate) as they wish.
The Judges' decision (including any decisions as to prize distribution) is final and the Promoter will not enter into correspondence regarding the result.
The Voting Prize winner will be notified by telephone and in writing by 7 April 2011. The winners’ details will be published in The Australian newspaper on 13 April 2011.
If the Voting Prize has not been claimed by 11 July 2011 it will be awarded to the Eligible Entrant the Judge determines to have the second most creative Eligible Entry from all of the Eligible Entries received during the Promotion Period.

Minors

Funny how it states in T&C's "Only one Eligible Entry per Week will be accepted per Eligible Entrant.?? when clearly a number of entries are the same person??

The judges though will only pick a winner from the top five voted entries each week. As I have said before, this means that the best written entries will probably not win the prizes - which I think is unfair.
Obviously Trading Post are just after the contact details of the voters to add to their data base.

lol the trouble with FB is that most people with hundreds of followers have only ever met a handful, or most are old school friends and workmates - i have a whole 7 friends on FB and don't add anyone i don't know. I turn down 20 or 30 'friends' (ie complete strangers) a week, at least, sometimes that many in one day Rolling Eyes and most i block from contacting me again.

Most 'friends' on FB are acquaintances of acquaintances of acquaintances Rolling Eyes and these are people they tell everything to - it has never made sense to me dontknow
