Do You Think This is Necessary When Offering a Competition Prize?

Other

I just saw this as i was about to enter a hamper comp. Personally i found it unnecessary and quite rude. I can see no reason at all for this to be included when running a competition.

Victor Meldrew clause: If all that doesn’t suit you or you are of the opinion that “no-one ever wins these” then feel free to not enter and gaze at your navel instead. There may be some fluff there, who knows? We have given away so many prizes over the years to some very happy people, but you’ll never be one of them if you bumble through life with Meldrew shaped chips on your shoulders. At least you’ll have some fluff though

Could you post the link to this L, i have never heard any competition make a statement like this

Its probably tongue in cheek and a young team thinking its a clever comment

You have to scroll down a fair way for the Victor Meldrew clause. Took me ages to find as I am currently getting 100+ emails per day.

Lynibis Thanks for that L

Yes i can see the way they put the terms and conditions

I think they think they are being trendy L , besides too much hassle to enter sticking a camera in the fridge etc 😃

telmel yes, knowing my luck I would forget it was in there and find it when I next needed milk for my coffee.

It does sound condescending. If anything, it would make me question their 'prizes' even more.
