Competition rules

Last edited 27 January 2010 at 2:28pm
  1. The closing date for all entries is 5.30pm on Friday 23 April 2010. That includes postal entries so make sure you get yours in on time. Only one entry per person.
  2. Entries must be either:
    • Up to two A3 pages of designs by post;
    • One or more JPEG files totaling no more than 2MB in size by email;
    • up to 500 words can accompany the designs to provide further explanation, but you don't have to.
  3. We can't accept any other form of entries, including models (although you can send us pictures of them.).
  4. Postal entries should be sent to Airplot Competition, Greenpeace UK, Canonbury Villas, London N1 2PN; email entries go to airplot@uk.greenpeace.org.
  5. However you send your entry, you must include your full name, address, and telephone number - we can't consider any entries without these details. An email address would be useful, but it's not essential. There's an entry form you can fill in and include with your entry. All personal details will be handled in accordance with our privacy policy.
  6. We'll acknowledge receipt of all entries by either email or post, but we can't return any submissions - sorry.
  7. The winner will be selected by the judging panel and they'll be looking for ideas and creativity, not artistic excellence or technical brilliance, so thinking caps on. Entries must also reflect Greenpeace values, particularly that of non-violent direct action. Of course, the judge's decision is final.
  8. The winner's designs will be featured in an exhibition in London in the first week of June 2010.
  9. For the winner, overland travel to London to attend the exhibition and one night's accommodation somewhere of our choosing will be provided for two people. Unfortunately, we can't cover any other expenses, the prize can only be offered during the exhibition run and there's no cash alternative.
  10. As an additional prize, an apple tree on the Airplot will be dedicated in the winner's name.
  11. The winner will be notified by phone in the first week of May.
  12. The competition is open to all ages, but if you're under 18 and you're the overall winner, you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
  13. You still own the rights to your design, but Greenpeace UK can use any material submitted (not just the winning entries) on our website, in publicity materials and in exhibitions now and in perpetuity.
  14. You can't be an employee or immediate relative of any employee of Greenpeace, and the competition is only open to residents of the UK or Eire (as you may have noticed, we're not big fans of flying).
  15. You enter the competition at your own risk and Greenpeace does not accept any liability for you or for your guest's expenses, personal injury, damage, theft or loss in connection with the competition even if that loss is caused by Greenpeace's negligence. We also can't take responsibility for entries lost or damaged in the post or via email.
  16. The competition is governed by the laws of England and Wales, so no cheating. It's just not cricket.
