On a daily basis, we run various competitions across our radio and social media platforms which includes www.ucb.co.uk – the entry requirements and methods of selecting a winner may differ from competition to competition, but these will be made clear in the competition instructions.

All winners are picked either on the basis of the merit of their answer or by a random selection tool. Winners cannot win a prize from UCB more than once every month or be entered into the same monthly or weekly draw more than once and must be eligible according to all the rules as set out below.

We often have lots of great prizes to give away. Here are the main points you need to be aware of:

  • No cash (or other) alternative for prizes
     
  • Must be resident in the UK
     
  • Only one entry allowed per household
     
  • Must be over 18
     
  • Not open to employees/volunteers of UCB or their families.

The following points also apply:

Entrants acknowledge that any failure to comply with these rules could lead to their disqualification without reasons being given or any opportunity for challenge provided.

Prizes

Except where it is expressly stated, all competition entries will be examined and the prize or prizes will be awarded to the entry/ entries UCB consider to be the best or on the basis of some other fair mechanism. Otherwise, the winner will be the first correct entry drawn after the competition closes from the total entries submitted. Other prizes will be awarded in accordance with the order of priority stated in the rules of the particular competition. UCBs decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
     
  2. Winners will be selected fairly and at random and will be notified in the manner and within the time specified in the competition instructions. Return of any prize notification as undeliverable or failure to reply as specified in the instructions may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner.
     
  3. Where necessary, in order to determine an outright winner or winners to a competition, UCB reserve the right to request entrants to take part in an eliminating contest or tie breaker. Where for any reason there are more winners than prizes on offer, UCB reserve the right to conduct a simple draw to determine the winner or winners of the prizes.
     
  4. Unless specifically stated otherwise, prizes are not transferable and no cash alternative to prizes will be offered.
     
  5. If the winner of a competition is unable to take up a prize for any reason or in the event that time is of the essence and a winner cannot be contacted by UCB within a reasonable period, UCB reserves the right to award the prize to an alternative winner, in which case the first winner chosen will not be eligible for any share of the prize whatsoever.
     
  6. For the avoidance of doubt, where a prize remains unclaimed for more than 30 days after the announcement of the winner of the competition, it shall be deemed to have been forfeited and UCB reserves the right to offer the prize to the entrant whose name is next drawn at random.
