During the Competition Period, i.e., from
18 February to 12 March 2013, Facebook
users will be able to vote for the photograph
s or videos which, in their judgement, best
reflect the participant's spirit of adventure.
The votes will be counted on the basis of th
e number of “likes” for each photograph or
video, and for each of the three countries -
France, Portugal and the United Kingdom.
Throughout the Competition Period, there will
be a running ranking, which will show
the number of votes received by each video or photograph.
If the organising company, or any entity
which is professionally linked to this
competition, detects any anomaly or suspects
that a participant or Facebook user is
impeding the correct and normal running of
the competition and the voting system, by
illegally altering his/her own votes or thos
e of third parties by any technical or IT
procedure in order to thus falsify votes, th
e organising company or the entities may,
unilaterally, cancel the inscription of
the participant who has benefitted.
Once the Competition Period has ended, a
professional Jury, chosen by Fundación
Siglo, whose decisions may not be appealed
, will choose each country's winner from
among the five participants from each country
who gained most “likes”. The Jury will
select the three participants who, in its opin
ion, best represent the required spirit of
adventure.
As well as choosing the prize wi
nners, the Jury will also select 3 runners-up, in case any
of the winners were to reject the prize, coul
d not be located, or failed to comply with
the requirements laid down in the rules.
The Jury's decision will be record
ed in a notarised certificate.
4.4 Communication with the prize winners
The organising company will contact the thr
ee winners, via email, on or after 15 March
2013, to inform them that they have won and
to request that they expressly accept the
prize.

during a 24-hour period.
Once the winner has been contacted, he/she wi
ll be asked to expressly accept the prize.
