INTRODUCTION

City Eco Bag Design Competition 2023 (“Competition”) is a design competition where current students from design schools in Singapore under Ministry of Education’s list of post-secondary education institutions (PSEI) were invited to submit an eco bag designed inspired by CDL’s ethos of “Conserving as We Construct”.

Members of the public can vote for their favourite design via the online voting form on the Website between 15 May 2023 and 13 June 2023. The voting results constitute 40% of the Competition scores and the Competition results will be announced during the Prize Presentation Ceremony at City Square Mall on 16 June 2023.

10 Participants who have voted for the winning design will be randomly selected to win $100 CDL gift vouchers each.

By entry and participation in the Vote & Win, each Participant represents and warrants that he/she:

  • the information provided for the Vote & Win is true, accurate, and complete in all respects.

Any false information provided by any Participant and/or non-compliance with any of the T&Cs, or the like, may result in immediate disqualification of the Participant from the Draw.

The Organiser may at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, and without notice and/or liability to any party:

  • cancel, modify or suspend the Vote & Win or any part thereof;
  • extend the voting period or reschedule the dates of the Vote & Win; and/or
  • substitute, withdraw or cancel any Prize.

Such changes to the Vote & Win will not give rise to any claim by the Participant.

In the event of:

  • any dispute regarding the T&Cs, the conduct or results of the Vote & Win, and/or any other matter relating to the Vote & Win; or
  • any question or matter arising out of any point that is not expressly provided for in any of the T&Cs,

the decision of the Organiser shall be final and unchallengeable, without any obligation to furnish any notice and/or reason, and no correspondence or discussion shall be entered into.

While reasonable precaution will be taken by the Organiser to ensure the security, fairness, integrity and appropriateness of the Vote & Win system, the Organiser accepts no responsibility for:

  • any late, lost or misdirected votes, or any loss or damage, including delays and/or failure of any electronic or telecommunication systems due to (without limitation) technical faults and/or network disruptions/congestions or any technical or human error which may occur during the registration and/or administration of the Vote & Win.
  • any electronic transmission errors resulting in omissions, interruptions, deletions, losses, or delays in transmission or operation.
  • any kind of technical problems, traffic congestion, or any combination on the Website resulting in inaccurate transmission or non-display of the Vote & Win system.
  • any kind of technical, network, telephone system, electronic equipment, computer, hardware, or software dysfunction or limit resulting in theft, destruction, unauthorised access, or change to the Vote & Win system.

In the event that a computer virus, bug, tampering, unlawful intervention, foul play, technical malfunction, or other cause results in an inability to carry out the internet portion of the Vote & Win as planned, and/or if the operation management of the Vote & Win, security, fairness, integrity, or appropriateness of the implementation is hindered, or affected, the Organiser reserves the right to, and has the sole discretion to cancel, end, change, or suspend the Vote & Win.

The voting results constitute 40% of the Competition scores, and the Competition results will be announced during the Prize Presentation Ceremony at City Square Mall on 16 June 2023, at 5pm.

Each qualifying vote towards the winning design will be allocated a chance in the Draw. For avoidance of doubt, the winning design refers to the design that is awarded 1st Prize in the Eco Bag Design Competition.
