Employees of the organising company, agencies and employees of stockists running the competition in store are excluded from this contest and thus cannot participate in it. The prize can be withdrawn if a staff member, contractor or stockist employee is drawn as the winner and fails to notify Remus Uomo of their connection to the brand or the stockist.

All responses shall be accepted that comply with the present rules and are received before the deadline for returned entries which is 5pm on Friday 7th December.

No purchase is necessary to enter this competition. To enter without a purchase, send a letter with your name, email address and contact number to the address above. Email entries are not accepted.

Winner Selection Procedure

All received entries will have their data processed into a spreadsheet that will automatically number all participants.

Via a random number generator, a winning number and two runners-up will be generated.

The winner number will be manually checked to ensure that it meets the participation requirements set out in these rules. If not, runners-up 1 and 2 will then be checked successively. If none of them comply with the requirements, another three random numbers will be generated, so that the prize does not end up being declared void.

Remus Uomo will directly contact the chosen winner by telephone. Two attempts will be made to contact the winner by telephone on successive days. On the second day an email will also be sent to the email address provided. On the third day a third and final attempt to reach the winner will be made.

If the winner cannot be contacted within these 3 calendar days from the first contact attempt, or waives the prize, the winner will lose his or her right to claim the prize. The fact that the winner does not contact Remus Uomo within this period will entail renouncing the prize, while all the transferable rights inherent to holding the winning title will be expressly assigned perpetually to Remus Uomo although the participant shall not be able to claim for any right, compensation or indemnity of any type from Remus Uomo.

The prize will consist of:

Return flights for two people to New York City (JFK or Newark Airports) from Dublin or London Airports.
