Eligibility
The competition is open to all Finnish primary and secondary school classes (grades 1–9). Each class can participate in the competition once. The contact person registering the class for the competition must be of legal age (e.g. teacher, guardian). By participating in the draw, participants accept the rules of the competition and the winner of the prizes confirms that they meet the eligibility conditions specified in these rules. The winning class also undertakes to send a photo/photos from the class trip, which can be published on the organizers' channels (e.g. social media channels).
Involvement
NOTE! The competition entry period has ended.
The school class will participate in the competition by designing the look of a personalized 500 gram liquorice box. The theme of the drawing competition is “The Best Day of Summer”.
The box requires 3 drawings/class:
- wide pages (same design on both sides)
- narrow page (one narrow page has a drawing, the other has product information)
- cover
Drawings on all pages can contain images and/or text. The drawing designed for wide pages is the main image participating in the voting phase of the competition, where the topic of the competition (the best day of summer) should be visible at least. Drawings on all pages must be drawn on their own A4-sized papers and scanned at 300dpi resolution.
The pictures should be sent to Kouvola Liquorice by email to brandbox@kouvolanlakritsi.fi . The title should be “School + class / class trip competition”, i.e. “Mäkelä school 2 b / class trip competition”. The pictures should also be named in such a way that it is clear which drawing is intended for which place in the licorice box. In addition, the participant must leave their contact information (name, email and phone number), which we can contact if necessary as the competition progresses. If the class drawing advances to the voting stage, we will notify the person concerned.
Winner selection
From the submitted competition entries, Kouvola Licorice will select a maximum of 10 drawings from each class. A vote will be held on the selected drawings on Kouvola Licorice's Facebook account. The class that made the drawing with the most votes (reactions) will win a prize.
Competition time
The period for participating in the drawing competition is 20.2.–26.3.2023. The winner of the drawings selected for the future will be voted on via Facebook voting between 28.3.–2.4.2023.
