At each Draw Date a random drawing from all eligible entries received during the Giveaway Period corresponding with that Draw Date (see section 18 below) will be held. The first entrant whose entry form is drawn on the Draw Date and who otherwise complies with these Official Rules will be eligible to win a prize. The chance of being selected will depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Giveaway Period prior to the relevant Draw Date.

Prize Draws

7. At the outset of the Giveaway, there are a total of twelve (12) prizes available to be won. The number of prizes available will reduce as awarded. The prizes available to be won by valid entrants are to be announced from time to time on Ignite’s website at the following address: ignitemag.ca/year_of_giving.

There is a limit of one (1) prize per person during the entire Giveaway Period.

To claim a prize, a potential winner must comply with these Official Rules for this Giveaway, must correctly answer unaided a time limited mathematical skill-testing question administered by Ignite and must fill out and return a Release within fourteen (14) days of his/her being informed of his/her name being drawn.
