To be eligible to win a prize you must take a photo which captures the essence of the Great British Summer and upload this (an “Entry”) to the gallery using the Liveshare application within the time period set out in Section 3 below.

Each photo will be deemed as one (1) Entry per person into the competition. You may submit multiple entries for the competition, however only one (1) prize can be won per person. Please do not spam your friends. Any entries received outside of the Competition Period set out in section 3 below will not be eligible to win. If you enter the Competition using multiple accounts on the Website then only your first submission will count. No purchase necessary to enter the promotion. Any Entries deemed by Microsoft to be offensive, abusive (including the use of profanity) or to contravene English law or these Terms and Conditions will not be included in the competition. All Entries are subject to moderation by Microsoft’s agent 33 Digital before appearing on the Website and Microsoft or 33 Digital may withdraw entries from the competition at any time for any reason in Microsoft’s sole discretion. 33 Digital will use reasonable endeavours to put qualifying Entries on the Website within 48 hours of their submission, but cannot guarantee this. Incomplete, damaged, defaced or illegible entries may be deemed invalid at the sole discretion of Microsoft. Entry constitutes full and unconditional acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.  Microsoft is not responsible for lost, corrupted or delayed entries.  Microsoft reserves the right to disqualify anyone in breach of these Terms and Conditions.

3. TIMING: This Competition runs from 00.01am GMT on 4 July 2011 until 23.59pm GMT on 31 July 2011 (inclusive) (the “Competition Period”). To be eligible, entries must be received by 23:59pm GMT on 31 July 2011.

4. SELECTION OF WINNERS: Once users have uploaded their photo(s) to the Great British Summer gallery on the Windows Phone UK Facebook page via the Liveshare app by Cooliris, fans within the Windows Phone Facebook community will be able to vote on their favourite photos using the ‘like’ function, during the Competition Period. The three photo entries with the highest number of votes (i.e. ‘likes’) by 23.59pm on 31 July 2011 will be deemed the three winners. Should one person be responsible for two or more of the top three photos, they will only be eligible for one prize. In this instance the photo with the next highest number of votes will become eligible to win a prize. Microsoft will endeavour to contact the chosen winners via Facebook. All potential winners may be asked to provide identification proving their eligibility before they are entitled to receive the prize.  If a chosen winner cannot be contacted, through no fault of Microsoft, within twenty-four (24) hours after the first attempt to contact the potential winner, an alternative winner will be selected (the entry with the next highest number of votes). The winner may be required to participate in further publicity or advertising.  Odds of winning depend on the number of entries received.
