Rules for postal entries

• One entry per postcard. Bulk entries (several entries on one postcard, or postcards in one envelope) are not accepted.
• Postcards must be received before the competition's fixed closing date and time. Late postcards are not entered.
• The per-person limit (currently 50 entries per competition) applies to paid and postal entries combined.
• Postal entries count towards the competition's ticket cap. If the cap is reached before your postcard is processed, it cannot be entered.
• Illegible, incomplete or incorrect entries, and entries from anyone under 18, are rejected.
• Each accepted postcard is logged on the day it is received and given a randomly chosen unused entry number in the competition's entry register.
