your piece(s) of creative may be displayed on the creative30.net site and/or on other VICE/Volvo promotions;
public voters will be authorised to vote for only one finalist entrant per day. Any votes that, in the reasonable opinion of Volvo, are being unfairly rigged in favour of a particular entrant shall be discounted and Volvo reserves the right to disqualify entrants who appear to be unfairly voting for his/her own entry and/or encouraging others to do so or are in any way engaging in unfair voting practices; and
you may be required to take part in publicity or such other promotional activities which Volvo and VICE may reasonably require in connection with the promotion.

Any pictures used to promote the People’s Prize are for information only. The winner of the People’s Prize will be able to specify the external colour of the vehicle, subject to availability.

These terms and conditions and all matters arising from or in connection with them are governed by English law and the courts of England will have exclusive jurisdiction in the event of any such dispute.
