4. Limit on entries Each individual may only make one nomination for either themselves or another person. Entries (bulk or otherwise) made from trade, consumer groups or third parties will not be accepted. If it becomes apparent that a participant is reposting the same content multiple times or using a computer(s) to circumvent this or any other condition by, for example, the use of ‘script’, ‘brute force’ or any other automated means, that person’s nominations will be disqualified and any prize award will be void.

5. Social media Internet access is required and nominators and nominees must have an active public Instagram account. If you do not have an account you will need to create one to participate. You will require an active email address in order to do this.

Your use of Instagram to enter this promotion is subject to the relevant platform’s terms and conditions: Terms of Use | Instagram Help Centre.

The nominee/nominator must be the owner of the Instagram account provided when nominated/nominating. Proof of ownership of the social media account and proof of age may be required.

The nominee must continue to keep their social media account on a public setting for 4 weeks after the end of the promotional period in order to be contacted if they are selected as a winner.

Nominators and nominees acknowledge that any promotion run via a social media channel is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, that social media channel. By submitting a nomination, nominators and nominees agree to release that social media channel from any and all liability in connection with the promotion. By entering submitting a nomination, nominators and nominees accept that they have no claim against that social media channel. Nominators and nominees also understand that any personal details submitted at any stage are provided to the Promoter and not to that social media channel.

6. Promotional period

The promotion will run from 00.00 17/10/2024 to 23.59 27/10/2024 (GMT UK time).

Any entries received before the start date or after the closing date (for whatever reason) will be invalid.

7. How to enter To make a nomination, visit INDUSTRY NOMINATION (google.com), enter your details on the nomination form and click “submit” during the promotional period.

Those nominating will need to provide the following details:

1. Your Name (nominator)

2. Your Instagram handle

3. What is the name of the person you are nominating? First and surname please!

4. What is their Instagram handle

5. Where do they work?

6. Where is their venue located?

7. Tell us why you believe you/they would benefit from being a member of this year’s 1887 Collective programme. (Cap this at 100 words)

The three most nominated bartenders will each be awarded a space on the 1887 Collective.

In the event of a tie, nominees will be judged on the following criteria, which will be equally weighted:

- Industry experience (we are targeting up-and-coming bartenders)

- Social media presence (how active the nominee is on social media, and whether the person’s social media content advocates responsible drinking and is compatible with the William Grant & Sons Marketing Code)

- The status / how well known the nominee’s venue is within the industry

- How engaged is the person currently with our brands?

8. General rules on entry Incomplete, incorrect, illegible, inaudible, misdirected, lost, damaged, late or otherwise deficient nominations will not be accepted. Proof of sending will not be accepted as proof of delivery. The Promoter takes no responsibility for nominations delayed, incomplete or lost due to technical reasons or otherwise.

Nominees are prohibited from directly or indirectly seeking any services to obtain nominations and must not purchase or reward nominations in any way. Any abuse of the nomination system, including nomination-rigging or any kind of nomination farming and automated votes, will result in disqualification of the nominee. Nominations will be strictly monitored by the Promoter and any attempts to manipulate or otherwise unfairly influence the results will result in disqualification of nominee. Your nomination will be deemed invalid and disqualified if it: -

• contains unlawful, defamatory, discriminatory, derogatory, hateful, malicious, indecent or other inappropriate content;

• includes the names or images of any individual without their express permission;

• in the reasonable opinion of the Promoter, causes any widespread or serious offence;

• contains content deemed socially irresponsible including the promotion of excessive consumption of alcohol;

• features or refers to children;

• is made by an entrant using a false name.

If entry is through a promotional website, you are required to follow any other specific instructions on the promotional website.

Internet service providers’ fees may apply when accessing the internet. By using the promotional website, you also agree to the website’s terms and conditions.

9. Prize There are three spaces available in total on the 1887 Collective via this promotion available to be won.

The 1887 Collective is the promoter’s portfolio programme supporting up-and-coming bartenders in the on-trade industry. It is a year-long programme involving a blend of immersive brand experiences, distillery trip(s), talks, seminars and mentorship from our industry and beyond, to elevate our collective talents further. This year’s programme would start in November, and 1887 Collective events/meetings take place approximately every other month. Depending on where each relevant takes place and whether this is necessary, travel and accommodation would be provided.

10. General rules on prizes Those selected must confirm they would like to accept their place on the 1887 Collective within 14 working days of winner notification. If they do not confirm by this date, the winner will have no entitlement to the prize.

The Promoter may substitute the prize (or an individual aspect of the prize) for an alternative of equal or greater value where it deems it strictly necessary due to events outside its reasonable control.

Winners may not transfer the right to accept their prize to another person without the Promoter’s consent.

The Promoter will not offer cash alternatives to any prizes. Prizes are not negotiable.

No guests are permitted for any aspect of the 1887 Collective.

11. Winner selection The Promoter’s selection of the winners is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

All eligible nominations will be counted and the three most nominated bartenders will be the winners and will each be awarded a space on the 1887 Collective. In the event of a tie, nominees will be judged on the criteria set out in clause 7 within 2 working days of the end of the promotion period, by a panel including at least one judge who is independent from the Promoter.

12. Winner notification Winners will be contacted by direct message on Instagram on 29 October 2024.

Winners have 14 days to verify their details (name and age) in order to claim their place. Age must be verified using a valid ID document (passport, driving licence or equivalent form of identification clearly stating a winner’s date of birth). County of residence will be requested for the purpose of the winners list if no objection is received. If they do not respond after 7 days, a reminder message will be send. If they still have not responded within the 14-day limited, another winner will be selected using the same methodology as above. The Promoter may repeat this process as often as is necessary until three bartenders are awarded a space on the 1887 Collective.

Nominees are encouraged to monitor their connections during this time in case they are contacted.

The 1887 programme would start in November, and the first event is likely to take place in January.

13. Publicity/name release The winners may be requested to take part in publicity in connection with this promotion.

The winners’ full names and counties of residence are available by sending an email to Nicole.Sykes@wgrant.com within 3 months of the closing date. Please mark the request “FAO: Senior Advocacy Manager – 1887 Collective”.

Nominees and winners may be requested to participate in photo, recordings, video and/or filming sessions and to all allow the Promoter, without charge, to use these photos, recordings, videos and/or films in any media and in any manner it sees fit.

14. Verification The Promoter reserves the right to verify all nominations including, but not limited to, asking for identity details including age (passport, driving licence or equivalent form of identification that clearly states the winner’s date of birth) which they must provide within 14 days.

The Promoter may:

• refuse to award a prize;

• withdraw prize entitlement;

• refuse further participation in the promotion; and/or

• disqualify the participant,

where there are reasonable grounds to believe the entrant has contravened these terms and conditions, the spirit of the promotion, won using fraudulent means or otherwise gained an unfair advantage.

It is the responsibility of the nominator to provide correct, up-to-date details when nominating. The Promoter cannot be held responsible for winners failing to supply accurate information which affects prize acceptance or fulfilment of their prize

15. Tax liability Any tax liability arising from receipt of a prize will be the responsibility of the recipient.

16. Liability

If for any reason any aspect of this promotion is not capable of running as planned (including by reason of infection by computer virus, network failure, bugs, tampering, unauthorised intervention, fraud, technical failures or any other cause beyond the control of the Promoter which corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of this promotion), the Promoter may in its sole discretion cancel, modify or suspend the promotion or invalidate any affected nominations.

If an act, omission, event or circumstance occurs which is beyond the reasonable control of the Promoter and which prevents the Promoter from complying with these terms and conditions (including but not limited to global or regional health crises, weather conditions, fire, flood, strike, hurricane, industrial dispute, war, terrorist activity, hostilities, political unrest, riots, civil commotion, epidemic, pandemic, famine, plague or other natural calamities and acts of God), the Promoter will not be liable for any failure to perform or delay in performing its obligation.
