Full Contest Rules
Current students enrolled full- or part-time in an undergraduate program at the University of Calgary may enter to win one of two gift baskets. Chances of winning are approximately 2 in 1,000 (based on 1,000 participants). Entries will be accepted at the SU’s Welcome Fair table (Sept. 6-7 from 11:00AM to 3:00PM.), and via the SU Instagram (@SUUofC). Odds of winning may decrease based on the actual number of students who participate and correctly answer the skill testing question. Duplicate entries will be disqualified.
The draw will be open from Sept. 6, 2022 at 10:00AM and will close on Sept. 8, 2022 at 12:00PM. (noon). Prize winners will be selected at random from the contact information provided. Each individual entrant is only eligible to win one prize. Winners will be selected and notified after the draw on Sept. 8. The Students’ Union will make reasonable efforts to notify winners by Sept. 16, and are not responsible for misspelled email addresses or emails that are undeliverable to the recipient.
