Dull, but important stuff!
This page sets out what we expect of you, but more importantly what you can expect of us if you use this site.
This website is owned and run by Living Streets. These terms and conditions were last updated 20/5/08.
There are two parts to the T&Cs, and you may also be interested in our privacy policy:
The logo and branding competition
The competition rules can be summed up like this:
- The design must be all your own work, and must not use any copyrighted content. For instance, you must draw the design yourself, or if you use photos they must have been taken by you. Your entry mustn't be obscene or otherwise dodgy.
- If you use commercial fonts, you must let us know what they are called.
- We will only accept entries from people aged between 11 and 17, who attend a school in England.
Why only England?
- We will judge the entries and award a minimum of one and a maximum of five prizes. Each prize will have a maximum value of £200. We reserve the right to offer a short list of prizes (without explanation) if we feel the prize requested is inappropriate in some way. If you are a winner, we will also give a prize to your school (maximum value £200). The prizes will not be cash or cheque, so don't ask!
- Once you have submitted your entry, it becomes our property. We may choose to exhibit it or use it however we like.
- The judge's decision is final.
- If you have a question about this competition, that is not covered by this website, send us an e-mail andrew.fielding@livingstreets.org.uk and we will try our best to answer it for you.
