These terms and conditions prevail in the event of any conflict or inconsistency with any other communications, including advertising or promotional materials. Nomination instructions on all marketing materials and websites are deemed to form part of these terms and conditions.

1. The Promoter & Data Controller is: Everards Brewery Ltd, Devana Avenue, Leicester, LE3 8JS a company registered in England and Wales with company number 319261. Do not send nominations to this address as they will not be accepted.
   
2. This promotion is only open to consumers who are aged 18 years or over and who are resident in Great Britain (“Nominees”).
   
3. This promotion will include pub led activations advertised through selected pubs (“Pub Activations”) and Everards led activations advertised through Everards (“Everards Activations”) and Carling led activations advertised through Carling (“Carling Activations”). The nomination period for the Everards, Carling and Pub Activations opens at 09.00hrs on 5th April 2021 and closes at 23.59hrs on 30th April 2021 (“Activations Nomination Period”). Only one nomination per person per day permitted. Nominating the same project numerous times will not increase the chances of the nomination being selected. The promoter holds the right to extend the entry deadline.
   
4. To submit a nomination, during the Activations Nomination Period, Nominees must visit www.everards.co.uk/communityfund to submit their nomination. All nominations must follow and comply with the ‘Nomination Guidelines’ below:
   i. Keep it about the community. We want to help with problems that need fixing outside of the pub and in the wider community;
   ii. The nomination should enable sociability. We want to be as inclusive as possible. Your idea should benefit more than just a few people and benefit as many of the wider community as possible;
   iii. Make sure your nomination is a tangible project. We can’t just give a monetary donation to a local cause;
   iv. Make sure the audience is right for Everards and Carling. We cannot support projects that primarily or solely directly benefit children due to the association of our alcoholic brands.
   1. 1. The projects we support need to benefit the local Everards community & therefore be within 20 miles of an Everards pub
      2. Nominations must be from an established group and/or charity or local church
      3. Each project can apply for funding of up to a maximum of four thousand pounds (£4,000) only.
      4. Projects will be selected based on four main criteria:
5. Level of community impact; how much beneficial change will the project create in the local area?
6. Level of community need: is there a strong need for the project to happen?
7. Timeframe: can it be completed within a three-month period?
8. Attainability: how achievable is it to complete this project?

5. During the Activation Nomination Period, Carling and The Everard Family Foundation will provide a total minimum funding contribution of £40,000 towards selected community projects and their fulfilment. The Promoter cannot guarantee the number of projects that can be fulfilled and the proportion of contribution per project.

1. The Activation Nomination Period consists of one round 22nd March 2021 – 19th April 2021. Round 2 is the “Everards and Carling Voting and Selection Round” which will start at the end of each Activation Nomination Round and will end within thirty (30) days of the Activation Nomination Round.

7. The Promoter cannot guarantee that a Nominee’s project will be selected. Our third-party fulfilment Agency “Semble” and other representatives will choose winning nominations based on the “Nomination Criteria”.
