Judging and Prizes
La Trobe will hold 3 prize draws at its Melbourne Campus (“the Draws”), where 1 entrant will be randomly selected at each draw to win a prize (“Prize Winners”) (total of 3 Prize Winners across the Competition). The Draws will take place on the following dates:
11 July 2025
26 September 2025
8 December 2025
Each prize will consist of:
1 x MacBook Air (13.6”) with an Apple M2 Chip (8-core CPU, 8-core GPU).
The prizes cannot be redeemed for cash.
For the avoidance of doubt, each Prize Winner is only entitled to one prize.
The Prize Winners will be notified within 14 days after the date of the applicable Draw by email and phone call. Prize Winners may also be published on La Trobe’s website and social media accounts. Prize Winners will be sent their Prize via mail to the address confirmed by the Winner following communications that they have won.
La Trobe takes no responsibility for a Prize Winner not using the Prize before its expiry date.
The decisions of La Trobe regarding entrant eligibility and Prize Winners are final and will be binding on each entrant. No correspondence or communications will be entered into. If after reasonable efforts a Prize Winner cannot be contacted, cannot accept a prize or is deemed to be ineligible to enter the Competition, La Trobe reserves the right to select a different Prize Winner and will publish the details of any different Prize Winner on La Trobe’s website.
If any event prevents or hinders the Competition or La Trobe’s ability to deliver a prize, La Trobe may in its absolute discretion cancel the Competition, select another Prize Winner or provide a similar prize of equivalent value.
La Trobe may refuse to award a prize, or seek its recovery, in the event of the relevant entrant’s fraud, dishonesty, or non-entitlement under, or breach of, these terms and conditions. In the event of a dispute concerning the identity of the person who submits an entry, the entry will be deemed to have been submitted by the owner of the email account on which the entry is posted, or in La Trobe’s absolute discretion, the owner of the phone number with which the entry was made.
