Those details will never be given to anyone else. The Maryborough Sun will finance and oversee the production of the final product as well as the prize money. No ratepayers money is being used in this competition. A panel of judges including civic leaders, a professional designer and graphic production expert and others will determine the winner. Because the flag could be used in various formats (material flags, signage, printing, online etc), for aesthetic and practical purposes, the winning flag may be a combination of two or more submitted entries at the judges discretion (and with the designers acceptance). In this case, the prize will be evenly divided amongst the winners. The judges decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. An entry is automatic and implied acceptance that your submitted design can be used exclusively by The Maryborough Sun for publication and promotional purposes connected directly to this competition. This just means that we can publish your design in our paper and online when we write stories about the flag, whether it wins or not. The winner will also need to grant the Fraser Coast Regional Council and The Maryborough Sun unlimited and unhindered rights to use the final design at their discretion in perpetuity. T&C may be amended without notice. SOLUTIONS
