The Prizes

**Please note that the main competition to win £5,000 closed on the 20th December 2010**. We will still be giving away a classic Fred Perry shirt per month to the entry with the highest number of votes though. Fred Perry intend this site to become an online archive for all your images and stories for the future. A unique chance to become part of the brand’s unique street culture and music heritage. Please note that only one shirt can be won per entry/person within any 12 month period.

Voting/Favourites

We are providing the option for viewers of the site (and your video) to mark your submission as a ‘favourite’. You will also be able to email friends to make them aware of your submission and see if they would like to mark it as a favourite. The images that receive the highest number of votes/favourites will automatically become part of the final 50 videos that will be considered for the prizes on offer.

Fred Perry (and the judging panel) reserve the right to choose the final winners from any submissions posted on this website. Videos that receive the highest number of ‘favourites’ will be given strong consideration and it will be an advantage. The video that receives the highest number of ‘favourites’ will not automatically be the winner of the competition. The winner will be judged on a number of factors including: cultural significance, originality of the subject, relevance to the Subcultures story and the unique qualities of the video.

Only one email vote/favourite per image will be allowed. Each voter can ‘favourite’ a variety of images/videos, but they can't vote for one image multiple times. This is to prevent any unscrupulous entrant (or hacker) trying to promote any one image unfairly. Any ‘robots’ or ‘scripts’ that are attempted on an image will automatically be removed and discounted.

Video usage/Permissions

When you choose to submit a video or image you will be asked to confirm the terms and conditions of uploading the image to the site - these will be clearly explained. In essence, by uploading the image you will grant permission for Fred Perry to display the images on this web site. The images will not be used for any other marketing purpose unless you have been contacted directly by Fred Perry for further permission to use the image elsewhere. This is why we will ask you for your full contact details as part of the upload process. This is also required to contact the competition winners at the end of the year.

Fred Perry reserves the right not to include images or stories for any reason whatsoever, if they feel that it could cause offence or be deemed inappropriate.
