The Expression of Interest Prize Draw is open to all who register their interest for the H2OME project, who are legal residents of Australia. Each entrant is permitted to obtain a single entry into the Expression of Interest Prize Draw. The promotion is subject to all applicable laws and regulations by the governing state. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

However, employees (including contract and agency staff) of Water Corporation or the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (or its successors) and their immediate families are not eligible to enter or to win any prize offered in this competition. For the purposes of this term:

TIMING

Entry into the Expression of Interest Prize Draw opens upon distribution of EOI emails by Water Corporation, and closes on Thursday 28th February 2018.

ENTRY

To enter the Expression of Interest Prize Draw, a respondent must complete and submit their EOI survey response by Thursday 28th February 2018.

RESTRICTIONS

Each eligible entrant for the Expression of Interest Prize Draw must have his/her own e-mail address, separate from the e-mail address of any other eligible entrant. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than a single entry by using multiple/different e-mail addresses, identities, registrations and log-ins, or any other method(s), will void all of that participant’s entries and may subject such individual to additional sanctions or penalties in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions. Use of any automated system to participate in the Promotion is strictly prohibited and will result in disqualification and all entries submitted or received via such automated system will be void.

PRIZE DRAW & VERIFICATION

All entries into the Expression of Interest Prize Draw will be collated into a single database at the close of the nominated EOI period with a randomise algorithm being used to select the five winners. All winners will be drawn and contacted within five business days of the EOI close date via the email or phone number they provided. At this point, the winners may nominate to redeem their eGift from a range of selected retailers. If a winner is unsuccessful in responding to our email or phone call within 3 months of contact, a back-up winner will be selected. This process will continue until an eligible winner has been selected and receives their prize. Winners may be required to show proof of identity before receiving their prize.

PUBLICATION

The five prize winners will be published on the Painted Dog Research website. No information will be disclosed beyond the winners’ first and last names.

PRIZE DETAILS

Upon claiming their prize, winners will be sent a $50 Flexi eGift Card via email. Initially, this reward will have a long validity period of 3 years. However, the winner should check the date shown on their Flexi eGift Card email.

Winners will be prompted in this email to nominate a selected retailer to claim their eGift Card through. Once this selection has been made and the Flexi eGift is redeemed, the expiry date of the voucher is determined by the selected retailer. Vouchers are typically valid for 3 to 6 months after selection. For this reason, it is very important for winners to check the expiry and validity periods shown on their vouchers once they are received.

Any unused value after the expiry date of a Flexi eGift or voucher will not be refunded or credited. When value is converted into a participating retailer’s voucher, the conversion is final and cannot be reversed. Lost or stolen eGifts cannot be replaced or refunded.
