Important information:
The Promoter will aim to, as far as reasonably possible, create the tin of beans using the flavour combinations of the three Competition Winners, however it may not be possible for all of the ingredients listed in Clause 6 to be used or used in combination with each other. In some cases, a flavouring might need be used in replacement of the ingredient itself.
Due to the nature of our manufacturing processes and potential procurement restraints, it may not be feasible to produce your tin of beans exactly as submitted. The tin of beans concept submitted is for the purpose of entering the Promotion and may not be the tin of beans that is produced if picked as a Competition winner. Whilst the Promoter will work to create the tin of beans as close as possible to the Competition winners’ entries, this may not always be possible and ultimately, the Promoter will have the final say as to the tin of beans which is created and the ingredients within it.

a. First Stage: All valid entries received during the Promotion Period (subject to moderation and up to a maximum of 6,250 valid entries per week, 25,000 in total) will be independently judged by PromoVeritas.
If there are more than 6,250 valid entries received each week, PromoVeritas, an independent party, will conduct a Preliminary Prize Draw of all valid entries received during that week of the Promotion Period. Each Preliminary Prize Draw will take place within 3 working days of end of the relevant week during the Promotion Period to randomly select 6,250 entries for that week to be judged.
The selected entries will be judged by 18 April 2025 to select 50 Finalists based on the following criteria:
Taste – will it taste good and are they popular flavours.
Personalisation – flavour name and story behind the flavour, does it stand out from existing flavours, other entrants and competitor brands.
Feasibility – will it be commercially and operationally feasible to produce.
b. Second Stage: The Finalists will be judged by a panel of judges, including an independent party, within 6 months from the close of the Promotion Period to select 3 provisional winners based on the same criteria.
Entrants may have to complete a successful background check in order to progress in the process. The cost of the background checks will be borne by the Promoter.
The Promoter fully respects freedom of speech, but prior to entering the Promotion, those selected as Competition winners must not have uttered, posted, published or caused to be published by way of press, radio, television or in any social medium, any comments that are likely to discredit or damage the reputation of the Promoter or their product(s) or service(s) or be in breach of the rules of the relevant media. In addition, Competition winners must not do so during the life of the Promotion. If, the Promoter, in its absolute discretion, decides that a Competition winner has breached this condition, that entrant’s entitlement to be selected or announced as a Competition winner may be cancelled and a substitute Competition winner chosen on the same basis as the original winner.
