What is the Prize and how many winners will there be?

There will be a total of three (3) winners who will each receive $1,000 in cash and a year’s supply of Bell Tea being Bell Original.  A “year’s supply” means the following specific quantities, equivalent to: 100 x 3 packs, Bell Kenya Bold 80s x 3 packs and Bell Chai Latte x 6 packs. Tea choice may be subject to change and availability and is at the Promoter’s sole discretion. Prizes will be sent in one lot to the winners via tracked delivery within 30 days of confirmation of delivery details.

Acceptance of the prize is conditional on the winner being available to participate in filming, interviews and related promotional activities on dates, times and locations determined by the Promoter in its sole discretion. If a winner is unable or unwilling to participate as required, they will forfeit the prize in full (including any cash component) and the Promoter reserves the right to select an alternative winner. 

The winners' stories will be featured in Bell Tea’s upcoming campaign. As part of this, winners will be required to take part in interviews and may be filmed and photographed by the Promoter and its agents for use in a range of marketing materials. No compensation will be provided, and winners must agree to and sign a Video/Photography Release Agreement. Filming locations will be arranged in consultation with the winners and may take place at their home or another location relevant to their story.  Entries may be published publicly as part of the promotion.  For the avoidance of doubt, participation in filming does not guarantee that a winner will appear in the final advertising campaign.

Any cash component of the prize will be paid by bank transfer to a New Zealand bank account nominated by the winner. The winner must provide all requested details required to facilitate payment. If the winner fails to provide these details within the timeframe specified by the Promoter, the prize may be forfeited and an alternative winner selected.  The Promoter accepts no responsibility for any delays in payment where the winner has provided incorrect or incomplete banking details.

How are the winners determined?

Winners will be selected by the Promoter based on creativity, relevance to theme, and overall impression and availability that suits the Promoter’s production schedule.

The judging will take place within 5 days of the Promotion ending.

Winners will be contacted by direct message (if entered via social media) or by email (if email is provided) no later than 21st April 2026.

If a winner does not respond within 5 days of notification, the Promoter reserves the right to select an alternative winner.
