  2. All entries must be legible, written in English, and made on the official form or on the official page on the website.
  3. Entries must be made in accordance with the competition instructions. They are invalid if they are received any later than the specified closing time (Midnight, GMT, 31 October 2008).
  4. All sections must be completed, questions answered and all other entry requirements fulfilled.

The decision of the Judges shall be final and unchallengeable and in their absolute discretion they may declare void any entry or the competition itself should they consider that there are no entries reaching a required standard, whereupon they can award prizes or not, as they think fit. Judges may also decide, in their absolute discretion, to change the rules of the competition while it is running if it appears to them that it would be equitable or desirable to do so.

  13. By entering the competition/promotion entrants are agreeing to abide by these rules and any conditions set out in the competition instructions.
