Blog Survey Contest Rules

Official Ayn Rand Institute (ARI) survey and e-mail contest rules:

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. PURCHASE WILL NOT IMPROVE CHANCES OF WINNING.

Open to US residents only. All winners must be 18 years of age or older, unless otherwise stated and/or posted.

Entering Contests and Choosing and Contacting Winners
Winners of random survey contests will be chosen at random from emails received.

Entrants must send entries using the correct contest entry email address and/or entry forms, subject line, and any other specific entry information requested in the contest announcement.

Entrants may also mail entries to Ayn Rand Institute, 2121 Alton Pkwy., Ste 250, Irvine, CA 92606. Mailed entries must include the contest name, survey answers, subject line, a valid email and postal address, and any other specific entry information requested in the contest announcement and are subject to the same entry period and rules as emailed entries.

ARI is not responsible for and will not consider incomplete or incorrect entries, or emails sent or entries mailed but not received by ARI for any reason, as potential contest winners.

Winners of all contests will be contacted at the “sender” email used to enter the contest, and the person receiving and replying to the winner announcement email will be considered the winner unless they specify another person within the reply email as the winner. ARI will mail the contest prize to the address supplied by the recipient of the winner announcement email.

Only one entry per email address used to send the email or per postal address, if entry is mailed, will be considered for contest entry, unless multiple entries are specifically allowed in the contest posting. Unless otherwise specified in an individual contest post, no person may enter any contest more than once using multiple email addresses or postal addresses.

Claiming of prizes requires an email to ARI from the winning sender email address within 15 days of being notified of winning at the email used to enter. Failure to respond shall mean that the winner forfeits the prize. ARI is not required to award elsewhere any prizes forfeited by the chosen winner(s).

For a list of contest winner names, send an email specifying the contest you are inquiring about to rbasu at aynrand dot org.

Management, employees and families of the Ayn Rand Institute are prohibited from winning any prizes awarded by ARI.

ARI reserves the right to alter any rules of any contest at anytime. If you have any questions or complaints about a ARI contest, please contact mail@aynrand.org.
