The prize

A rare chance to get your hands on a piece of music history!

Gary Barlow is donating the majority of his life’s work to BBC Children in Need for this very special Text to Win Prize Draw. Over the last 30 years Mr Barlow has acquired an impressive collection of gold discs, silver discs, music awards, academy awards and much more – and 140 of you could be in with a chance of winning a piece of it. Calling all music lovers… this is the prize draw for you.

To be in with a chance of winning one of 140 items from Gary Barlow’s collection of memorabilia and have the opportunity to donate £10 to BBC Children in Need at the same time, all you have to do is text the word WIN to 81155.
Once we receive confirmation of your entry, a one-off voluntary donation of £10 will be made to BBC Children in Need. You can opt out of the donation by replying ‘CANCEL’ to your entry confirmation text within 60 minutes.
Entry texts will be charged at your standard network message rate.
You must be 18 or over and have the bill payers permission to enter
The prize draw will close for entries at 2 PM on Monday 23rd November 2020. Please do not enter after this time as your entry will not count but you will still be charged.
The winners will be randomly selected and notified by phone on Tuesday 24th November 2020.

    Full terms and conditions and privacy notice

    For information on how we use your personal data please see the Privacy Notice below.

    1. The prize draw will be open at 12pm on 7th November 2020 and close at 2pm on 23rd November 2020.

    2. Entry to the prize draw is by texting the keyword WIN to short code 81155. Text messages cost your standard network message charge (based on your service provider rates – please check with your provider). Entrants will then receive a free bounce-back message from 62345 informing them that a voluntary donation of £10 to BBC Children in Need will be taken 60 minutes after the entry text was received, unless they reply to 62345 with the word CANCEL before 60 minutes has passed.

    3. For the avoidance of doubt, opting out of the voluntary donation will not affect your entry into the prize draw.

    4. The prize draw is open to all residents of the UK (please note the text service to enter the prize draw does not include Channel Islands or Isle of Man mobile networks). The prize draw is open to those aged 18 or over, except staff members of BBC Children in Need, of BBC Group, of any of the prize providers, and their close relatives, or anyone connected with the prize draw.

    5. Please ensure you spell the Keyword correctly and send your text message to the correct short code within the time period that the prize draw is specified as being open. If your short code is invalid, or your text message is received outside the specified time period you will not receive a bounce-back message but may still be charged your standard network message charge. You will not be donating to BBC Children in Need nor will you have entered the prize draw.

    6. You may enter the prize draw a maximum of four times a day. You will receive a free bounce-back message regarding the donation each time, and if you wish to opt out of the donation you need to respond to each such message received from 62345 with the word CANCEL. If you try to enter more times than this from the same mobile telephone number in one day, you will still be charged your standard network rate, but will not be entered into the prize draw and will not be donating to BBC Children in Need.

    7. If you are a UK taxpayer, we can claim an additional 25p in Gift Aid from the Government for every £1 you donate. And it doesn’t cost you a penny! To help us claim this, we may send you a follow up text to ask if you want to Gift Aid your donation. For us to claim Gift Aid, you must pay UK income or capital gains tax in the current tax year (this does not include VAT or council tax) at least equal to the amount reclaimed on all your charitable donations and understand that, if you pay less income tax or capital gains tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your charity donations, it is your responsibility to pay any difference. Find out more about Gift Aid. If you click the link in the text message you will be taken to a site to complete the Gift Aid declaration and have the option to sign up to keep up to date about children we support and fundraising news. Please read the details carefully before submission. You will not automatically be added to any marketing databases if we send you this follow up text.”

    8. If by mistake you text us with the word “GIFT” or “GIFT AID” rather than following the above process, we may send you a message to notify you of the error and redirecting you to the above process again. You will not automatically be added to any marketing databases if we send you this text.

    9. Other than as set out in paragraph 6, there are no restrictions on the number of times a person can enter the prize draw, or on the number of times that they can win.

    10. There are 140 prizes to be won. Each winner will receive ONE piece of Gary Barlow memorabilia.
    • The item of memorabilia will be allocated at random by BBC Children in Need.
    • Items include gold discs, silver discs, music awards, academy awards, album sales recognition plaques, performance recognition plaques, signed photographs and plaques received by Gary Barlow for his contribution to music or film.
    • Some items may not have an image of Gary Barlow but will highlight his contribution to the success of an artist or song.
    • Items will be delivered to locations within the UK only. Delivery of the prize will be subject to the wider UK situation and any restrictions in place regarding Covid-19 which may affect delivery.

    11. The winner will be selected using an independent randomised draw system and contacted on 24th November 2020 by BBC Children in Need by telephone. If the winner does not respond in order to claim the prize within five working days (being Monday to Friday), BBC Children in Need reserves the right to contact the next eligible winner (and in this case the original winner forfeits their claim to the prize), and so on until a winner is found.

    12. The winner will must provide their full name and address for delivery to BBC Children in Need at the point at which they respond and claim their prize. BBC Children in Need, via its delivery partner, will aim to deliver the prize by 31 December 2020 but this not guaranteed and is subject to any government restrictions which may affect delivery.

    13. The prize is as stated (subject to paragraph 16 below). There is no cash alternative and the elements of the prize cannot be sold or transferred by the winner in any circumstances.
