Contest Rules

1º.- The organizer or promoter of the raffle and / or contest must be clearly identified, as well as the brand, making it clear that the contest or raffle consists of a promotional action that cannot mislead the consumer or user.
2º.- Define very well the systematics or dynamics of the draw and / or contest, anticipating problems that may arise, making it very clear what the prizes are and perfectly defining what requirements the participants must have (which in no case may be discriminatory or violators of rights), who will be the winner and depending on what criteria or under what circumstances (by jury, random draw, with an application … In addition to how the winner will be notified and what happens if there is no response from the winner, it is say, if there is a substitute winner or is it deserted, etc. We must be very clear on that, avoiding all kinds of ambiguities.
3º.- Establish the territorial scope: This is very important because if the scope of the contest is autonomous, the regional rules will apply and if it is supra-autonomous, the national rules will apply. It should be taken into account that, if we do not define that the territorial scope is Spain, an administration from another country may arrive compelling us to pay a penalty because we have not complied with the rules on draws / contest of that country. So be very careful with that.
4.- It must be clearly stated until when participants are accepted, the date of the draw, etc. In short, there are no doubts about the deadlines or dates in which the promotional action will be carried out.
5º.- The prizes must be clearly detailed
6º.- In the event that a Jury is chosen to choose who is the winner of the contest, it will be convenient to state who composes it. Suffice it to say, for example, that it will be made up of managers from the campaign organizer.
7º.- It will be very convenient in the event that the contest consists of sending, uploading or sharing content, be it phrases, photos, drawings, etc. that the organization reserves the right to withdraw from the contest those contents that in its opinion are inappropriate, of dubious taste, that incite hatred or that violate the rights of third parties because they are racist, xenophobic, apology of terrorism or an attack against human rights. Imagine the case that our bases say that the photo that is uploaded to a certain social network and gets more votes will win the contest and that in addition to a cash prize, the winning photo will preside over the home page of our website for six months. Let’s continue imagining that the photo that gets the highest number of votes by users of the social network is that of someone “making a bald head.” We will have to put that photo for six months on our home. Be careful, you know, it is convenient to avoid the “Chikilicuatre effect”.
8º.- Of course, the bases must include that in the event that participants have to send or upload content to the Internet, that they are original and that they are responsible for their authorship.
On the other hand, and also in relation to the industrial property of the works submitted to a contest, it is also very necessary to include a clause in which the rights to exploit the copyright of the works submitted to the contest are transferred, with the Purpose of disseminating them on social networks or for the purpose that the organizer deems appropriate, such as making t-shirts with the drawing or design of a winning logo of the contest.
9º.- It is not irrelevant to foresee causes of suspension or extension in the term foreseen due to lack of participants, for example, or to require a minimum number of participants.
10º.- It is more than obvious that everyone who is going to register in a raffle / contest will have to accept a privacy policy, by marking an acceptance box. In the same place where the acceptance box is available, the participant must be informed where they can exercise the ARCO rights of access, rectification, cancellation and opposition. We will have to establish a link where the participant can read the privacy policy. In this privacy policy we will have to inform the participant:
a) That your data will be included in a file owned by the organizer of the draw / contest
b) Who is the data controller
c) What will your data be used for and whether or not it will be disclosed to third parties.
d) Who are the data processors who will have access to your data
e) Where you can exercise your rights of access, rectification, cancellation and opposition.
If we carry out promotional actions such as sweepstakes or contests to obtain leads or followers, it is essential to have a good privacy policy and correctly obtain consent to treatment by the user. This consent must be express to send the participant commercial communications, as required by article 21 of the LSSI-CE.
11º.- Finally, whenever we want to organize a raffle or contest through a social network, we must first read the conditions that such social networks establish for the organization of raffles or contests. For example, there is some social network that prohibits tagging users within the dynamics of the contest, because it considers that it can annoy the users of the same. This is important, because we may have designed a great contest, but if you violate any of the rules of the social network in question, we may find that the sweepstakes or contest is withdrawn. So very attentive to this as well.
