Competition rules

Win a branded purple The Monthly Uke hoodie

These short rules explain how the competition works. Questions: themonthlyuke@gmail.com.

1. Promoter

The promoter is John Howlett, publisher of The Monthly Uke. Contact: themonthlyuke@gmail.com.

2. Opening and closing

The competition opens when The Monthly Uke signup page goes live. It closes when the winner is drawn on 31 March 2027.

3. How to enter

Sign up with your email for the free first edition on our signup page. That signup is your entry. You do not need to buy anything. The newsletter tick is optional — you do not need to tick it to enter.

4. Number of entries

One entry per person. Duplicate or automated entries may be removed.

5. Who can enter

Open worldwide to individuals aged 14 or over.

Entrants aged 14 to 17 can enter with permission from a parent or guardian, who may be asked to accept the prize on their behalf.

John Howlett, his immediate family and household, and anyone who works on The Monthly Uke (contributors, designers, helpers) cannot enter.

Void where prohibited or restricted by local law.

6. The prize

One branded purple The Monthly Uke hoodie, with the logo on the front and back, in the winner's size. Not transferable. No cash alternative. We do not promise a delivery date. We pay the shipping. Any customs or import duties in the winner's country are the winner's responsibility.

7. How the winner is chosen

On 31 March 2027, we will draw the winner at random from valid entrants.

8. Contacting the winner

We will email the winner from themonthlyuke@gmail.com to ask for size and delivery details. Reply within 30 days. If there is no reply, or if the winner is ineligible or does not accept these rules, we will draw another winner the same way. We will never ask for payment or card details to claim the prize.

9. Announcing the winner

With the winner's permission, we may share their name. Otherwise we only say the prize has been awarded.

10. Privacy

Your signup email is used for the free first edition and to run this competition (including contacting the winner). We only send the newsletter if you opt in; you can unsubscribe anytime. We do not sell or share entrants' details for anyone else's marketing.

11. Other points

By entering, you accept these rules. This promotion is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with any social media platform. As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for lost, late or incomplete entries, or for problems with signup or email. Rights under consumer law that cannot be excluded still apply. These rules are governed by New Zealand law and the New Zealand courts.
