The judges’ decision is final, unless the Organisers exercise their right to reject an Entry as set out above following such decision.  By entering the competition Entrants agree to be bound by such decision.

The Organisers reserve the right to cancel the competition at any stage if deemed necessary in their opinion, without notice and without prejudice to all rights reserved herein. Should such cancellation be deemed necessary, notice of the cancellation will be provided by the Organisers on their website and via email to the Head of Art Department only and no other notification will be provided to Entrants individually. Further, should such cancellation be deemed necessary the Organisers reserve the right not to disclose the reasons for such cancellation.

In the event of such cancellation refunds will not be offered but the Organisers reserve the right to make discretionary refunds in respect of costs deemed by the Organisers reasonably incurred by Entrants in entering the competition (including, for example, postage costs, but excluding, for example, costs of materials incurred in preparing Entries) only subsequent to Entrants making an application for such costs to the Organisers setting out the grounds for their application, why such costs were incurred and could be deemed reasonable,  together with evidence of the incurrence of such costs.  

Prizes must be taken as stated, and no alternative is available.
