Entries are limited to one per person regardless of the form of entry, unless otherwise stated. Future may ask for proof of age and confirmation of permission from the entrant’s legal guardian/parent. No responsibility can be accepted for entries that have been lost or damaged in transit. Proof of emailing will not be accepted as proof of delivery of an email and no responsibility can be accepted for any technical failure.

Future and Sponsor reserve the right to substitute any prize with an alternative prize of equivalent value. The prize is non-transferable and non-refundable. There is no cash alternative. No purchase required. Unless otherwise stated, the winner(s) will be notified by Future by email/telephone within 28 days of the closing date and will be required to supply details of a UK and/or Republic of Ireland delivery address (if relevant). If a winner has not responded after 28 days, an alternative winner will be chosen. For prize draws, winner(s) are chosen in a random draw. For skills competitions, winner(s) are chosen in accordance with the stated judging criteria. 

For skills competitions, the judges' decision is final and it is a condition of entry to any competition that the entrant agrees to be bound by these rules, and that the decisions of the Editor and judges on any matter whatsoever arising out of or connected with the competition are final.
