5. How do I enter the Promotion?

To participate in the Promotion, you must follow the steps outlined below during the Promotion Period:

  • visit the designated Promotion landing page (the Website).

  • on the Website, locate and complete the entry form. The entry form will require you to provide responses to two (2) questions. Each response must be one hundred (100) words or less.

  • Entrants must also submit a video of no more than one (1) minute in length as part of their entry. The video should be uploaded directly to the Website as per the instructions provided.

You may submit a maximum of one entry only. Entries that exceed the maximum amount of entries allowed or that don’t meet the requirements above will be deemed invalid.

6. Do I need to pay a fee to enter the Promotion?

There is no separate fee required to enter or win this Promotion. However, entry into this Promotion does require the purchase of an IELTS test though the Promoter in accordance with the eligibility criteria set out above.

7. What are the prize details?

There are a total of 8 prizes available across all Participating Countries and territories. The approximate retail value of the prize pool is USD$40,000.

There is no guarantee of a prize allocation for each Participating Country. The actual value of the prize may vary depending on the currency the prize is distributed in and exchange rate at the time of prize distribution. The exchange rate will be determined by the Promoter using a reputable financial source.

The prize is not transferable and cannot be substituted or exchanged for any other form of payment, except the Promoter reserves the right to substitute prizes of comparable value if a prize listed is unlawful or unavailable for any reason.

The Promoter accepts no liability regarding the prize. In some cases, prizes may be subject to taxation requirements or additional fees in the Participating Country and territory. Prize winners are solely responsible for all taxes and fees associated with their receipt or use of the prize and where applicable, the prize will not be provided until the winner notifies the Promoter that it has paid all applicable taxes.

Your odds of winning will depend on the total number of prizes available, and eligible entries received, in your Participating Country or territory during the Promotion Period.

8. How will the award be judged?

Each entry in this Promotion will be assessed for shortlisting by a panel of judges within Promoter, and short-listed entries will be assessed for final decision by a panel of judges within IDP.

The judges will evaluate each entry based on six (6) criteria. For each criterion, entries will receive a score between one (1) and ten (10), with ten (10) being the highest possible score. The total possible score for each entry is sixty (60), with each of the six (6) criteria contributing up to ten (10) points to the total score.

The entries with the highest total scores up to the set number of possible winners for each Participating Country will be deemed the winners. In the event of a tie, the tied entries will be re-evaluated by the judges until the winners are determined.

The judges’ decisions are final and binding within the Participating Countries. No correspondence will be entered into regarding the judging process or any outcomes reached.

9. How will the winners be notified?

The winners will be announced on or around Friday, 25 April 2025, and IDP will also notify winners at this time using the email or phone contact information provided at the time of entry. The notification will include information on how to claim the prize.

If a winner cannot be contacted or does not respond within seven (7) days of the initial notification attempt, the prize may be forfeited and awarded to the next highest scoring entry.

It is your responsibility to ensure you provide correct and up-to-date contact information. The Promoter is not responsible for notifications that are misdirected or not received due to incorrect contact information.
