Are you planning to run a trip/destination contest/sweepstakes in Canada (i.e., destination marketing contest) and select winners based on some type of skill, such as a photo, essay or other competition? Trip/destination contests are a very popular way for local and international governments to promote tourism and travel.
Our firm offers many types of precedents/forms to operate Canadian contests/sweepstakes, including a Canadian Trip Contest (Skill Contest) package.
This Canadian skill promotional contest forms/precedent package includes: short rules, long rules, entry form and winner release forms (winner release and guest/companion release) for operating a skill-based trip promotional contest in Canada, excluding Quebec. It contains the key elements for running a contest where a trip is awarded as the prize and winners are chosen based on some type of skill that is judged, such as submitting an essay, photography, etc. This Skill Trip Contest Package includes specific language for contest rules/precedents relating to a trip contest, including in relation to trip prize(s), restrictions on trip prizes (e.g., carve-outs and black-out periods), requirement for the winner to provide releases for both the winner and any travel companion and both winner and travel companion release forms (which are particularly important where there is increased risk in a contest, such as where a prize(s) includes travel, flights or other elements that may increase risk for a contest sponsor). Eleven pages. Word format template with fillable fields.
