Overview of Contest:
The Heirloom Portraits Golden Ticket Contest (the Contest) is a trial for Heirloom Portrait customers who have the chance to win their portrait package for free. The package will be that of a randomly selected customer(s) and will be chosen after the packages have been created. The price/size of the package will not affect the chance of obtaining the ‘Golden Ticket’. The prize will be a one-time offer and will not be of any value after the particular session.
The ‘Golden Ticket’ is non-transferable and not redeemable for cash value. The prize will be the portrait package and exclusive of any additional items ordered by the customer of that sitting. The ‘Golden Ticket’ will be issued to the customer who is registered as the sitting’s contact on the day of the portrait sitting session and cannot be redeemed by any other person. To confirm eligibility to win the chosen contact must answer a skill testing question.
The Contest will have one winner per week from the first week of September, 2011 to the last week of March, 2012. All customers who participate in the family portrait sessions are eligible to win.

Any individuals (including, but not limited to employees, consultants, contractors and those employed by companies affiliated with Heirloom Portraits) who have, in the past six months, have completed a family portrait sitting session by Heirloom Portraits are automatically entered and eligible to win a free family portrait package if, and only if, a ‘Golden Ticket’ has been issued to the respected customer and is found by said customer in his/her family portrait package.
