Query re IPC Magazine Request to Complete Declaration B4 Awarding Prize

Blue___Nile

I appear to have won a prize with Woman's Own for a holiday (woo hoo :j) but within the body of the email it said


"However, before we can award such a prize, we have to be certain that your entry complied fully with our rules and instructions. To this end, I have attached a declaration form, which I would ask you to read carefully and confirm that all the statements meet your case. Please return the completed form via e-mail as soon as possible to enable me to pass your details on to our sponsor.

If, for any reason, you are unable to confirm all details as being wholly and legally accurate, or do not wish to accept the prize, please confirm via e-mail, giving the relevant details.

Would you please note that it is IPC’s policy to collect all declaration forms from winners/runners up before notifying the sponsors."


Just wondering if this is a new thing? I've won in the past with IPC magazines but didn't have to complete a declaration before they awarded the prize.

Any help/advice/clarification would be appreciated.

I won a big cheque with them once and they sent me a form to fill out too! I how won quite a few smaller prizes with them and never had forms to fill out for those - must be just for their bigger prizes! Well done on your win!

I have had a similar declaration that I emailed back when I won recently.
