Terms and Conditions for Cooper Studio Competitions

Beautiful studio portraiture for discerning singles, couples and families.

General Terms for all Cooper Studio prize draws:

How to enter online prize draws: To enter, entry forms found on this website, or a third party platform, must be filled out in full. Only one entry per person per draw period will be accepted. Multiple entries sharing any of the same details, i.e, same phone number or address, will be treated as one entry. In an instance where Cooper Studio is running more than one draw concurrently, where an entrant enters multiple draws, the entries will be deemed to be for the draw entered first, and subsequent entries will be disregarded. Late entries will not be accepted and incomplete entries will be disregarded.

How to enter coupon prize draws: To enter, coupons must be filled out in full and received by the Studio or placed in a designated ballot box no later than the closing date of the prize draw. Late entries will not be accepted and incomplete entries will be disregarded. Only one entry per competition period will be accepted. Multiple entries will be treated as one entry.

Who can enter? Anyone can enter provided the entrant will be 18-years-old or older at the time of their prize shoot, a resident of Western Australia and has not won a prize or redeemed a gift voucher with Cooper Studio within the six months prior to the draw date. Prizes inadvertently awarded to persons who do not meet these conditions will be voided, redrawn and re-awarded, where possible.

Selection of Winners: Cooper Studio prize draws are games of chance unless they contain a creative question (such as “why would you like to win?”) in which case they are games of skill. Where questions are in a multiple choice format the prize draw will still be a game of chance. Winners may be selected by: 1) A random draw of a designated number of prize winners where the competition has all prizes of equal value. 2) Where the competition has a major prize and then several smaller prizes the first entrant drawn will be deemed the major prize winner, and subsequent entries drawn (up to the maximum) will be “runner up” prize winners. 3) Where a competition includes a creative question (ie “why would you like to win?”) the major and subsequent prize winners (if any) will be selected by Cooper Studio staff based on a ranking of their favourite answers to the creative question. If for any reason the number of valid entrants is less than the number of designated prizes available, each valid entrant will receive a prize and surplus prizes will be void.

Start, end, and draw dates: Unless otherwise specified on the entry form or competition description, all competitions will be deemed to have started from the moment in a particular month when the competition entry forms are published. In the case of physical coupons, made publicly available and unless otherwise specified, will be deemed to end at 12.00 midnight on the last day of the same calendar month. The draw of prizes will take place at an operationally practical time for Cooper Studio staff, but never later than one calendar month from the end date of the competition.

Notification: Prize winners will be notified by mail, email, phone or text. Cooper Studio shall only obliged to notify winners by one method and on one occasion, but may use more than one method or attempt to notify on more than one occasion. Notification will occur within five business days of the particular draw date.

Number of Prizes: Unless specified differently in the particular competition promotional material, the number of prizes for each competition will be 30 per calendar month.

Odds of winning: The odds of winning a particular competition will be dependant on the number of entrants, i.e a low number of entrants will increase the odds of winning for each entrant, while a high number of entrants will decrease the odds.

Value of Prizes: Unless specified differently in the particular prize draw promotional material, each prize will be deemed to be worth $700.
