    Opening/closing date & time:
    Prize Draw opens for entries via PRTS, SMS and post as stated in promotion for “The X Factor” and “The Xtra Factor” programmes (together the “Programme”) on Friday 3 October 2014.
    Prize Draw closes for entries via PRTS and SMS at 7.00 p.m. on Saturday 11 October 2014.
    Postal entries must be received by 5.00 p.m. on Thursday 16 October 2014.


    Winner selection date:
    The draw will take place after 5.00 p.m. on Thursday 16 October 2014.
    The first entry drawn at random from all eligible entries will win the Prize, subject to eligibility and compliance with all applicable terms and conditions.
    The Prize is time sensitive and the winner will be contacted on or after the close date and will be called in accordance with Clause 5.3 of the ITV General Competition, Vote and Poll Terms.


    How to enter & cost of entry:
    To enter this Prize Draw, simply submit your name and information via:
    PRTS Phone - call 09041 615 050 and follow the instructions given on the PRTS phone line; up to thirty seven (37) entries per phone number. Entrants who enter twice from the same phone number will receive an additional, third entry into the Prize Draw without charge (based on the same details as submitted in the second call). Thereafter, with each subsequent entry from the same phone number, the entrant will receive an additional entry without charge (based on the same details as submitted in their previous paid entry). This therefore works as a “3 entries for the price of 2 entries” offer followed by “buy one entry get one entry free” offers. This can be repeated to reach the thirty seven (37) entries per phone number limit. Each call costs no more than £1.54 from BT landlines. Other networks may be higher and from mobiles considerably more.
    SMS text – send an SMS text with or without the keyword WIN to 68300. The keyword is not required information so SMS entries without the keyword or where the keyword is misspelt will still be counted and charged; up to thirty seven (37) entries per phone number. SMS entrants will receive a SMS reply message acknowledging their SMS entry and inviting them to enter the Prize Draw via SMS a second time using the same mobile number. Entrants who send a second SMS text using the same mobile number to 68300 by the closing date and time will receive an additional, third entry into the Prize Draw without charge (based on the same details as submitted in the second SMS text). Thereafter, with each subsequent entry from the same mobile number, the entrant will receive an additional entry without charge (based on the same details as submitted in their previous paid entry). This therefore works as a “3 entries for the price of 2 entries” offer followed by “buy one entry get one entry free” offers. This process may be repeated to reach the thirty seven (37) entries limit. Each of the SMS entrant’s chargeable SMS text entries costs £1.50 plus one standard network rate message. If you do not want to receive SMS marketing texts about similar products and services, please add NO INFO at the end of your SMS text entry.
    Post – send your entry on a postcard or on or within an envelope to TXF1103, PO Box 7558, DE1 0NQ. Entries received on anything other than a postcard or envelope will not be accepted. In the case of multiple entries received in an envelope or postcard, only one entry will be entered into the Prize Draw. Sufficient postage must be paid – any entries without sufficient postage will be discounted. The Promoter and producers bear no responsibility for any entry that is incorrectly submitted, lost or received after the closing date, or damaged in any way.
    For the purposes of this Prize Draw, the 30 entries in Clause 7.3 of the General Terms shall be deleted and replaced with 40 entries.
