Prize Details
19. There is a total of one (1) prize available to be won during the entire promotional period.
20. The prize is for a £30 Vue gift card to be redeemed at any participating Vue cinema that accepts gift card. This prize promotion is not in association with Vue and upon delivery and acceptance of the prize, it is at Vue’s discretion as to whether they will accept the gift card.
21. The value of the prize is designed to enable the winner to either pay in full or pay towards 4 cinema tickets and food/drink from the cinema. Increase in the cost of tickets or food/drink resulting in less tickets is beyond the Promoter’s control and so the value will remain at £30.
22. There is no cash alternative.
23. All other costs and expenses incurred from the cinema trip above the value of the gift card are the winner’s and their guest’s own responsibility.
24. All prizes are non-negotiable, non-refundable, and non-transferable. No cash or other alternatives will be offered in whole or in part and the Promoter reserves the right to substitute the prize or any part of the main prize for an item of equal or greater value due to circumstance outside of the Promoter’s control, should any element of the prize be unavailable. Unless otherwise agreed in writing in exceptional circumstances by the Promoter, the prize will only be awarded directly to the winner.

33. The winner will be notified no later than 30.5.2025 either via a Facebook post or direct e-mail. The winner will have 14 days to claim their prize from this initial contact.

34. Inaccurate information may result in the prize being forfeited. Please retain winning communication.
35. The Promoter will make reasonable efforts to contact the winner (3 attempts), however, if the winner has not responded to notification within 14 days of initial contact attempt, or if the selected winner if ineligible, rejects their prize, is otherwise in breach of these Terms and Conditions, or unable to take up the prize for any other reason, the Promoter reserves the right to withdraw the prize, re-allocate the prize and select the reserve next in line, as detailed as a reserve from the original prize draw. These reserve(s) will be contacted in the same process. If a winner has not responded to any communication and the prize has not been awarded and after reasonable attempts to contact them all then the prize has therefore not been successfully claimed, and will be null and void. Entrants are encouraged to monitor their connections during this time in case they are a winner.
