Conditions of participation in the 33rd anniversary design competition

Explanation of this campaign

To celebrate our 33rd anniversary, we are organising a design competition in which the winner will receive a €50 canteen voucher. We are looking for a design on the theme "All about studying", which will be screen-printed on jute bags for the big "33 years StuWe" event. The jute bags will be distributed free of charge to students in Chemnitz on 29 May 2024 and in Zwickau on 4 June 2024.

Students of Chemnitz University of Technology and the West Saxon University of Applied Sciences Zwickau may participate in the competition.

The following points must be observed before submitting the design:

  • the submitted file is a vector file in PDF format and created in A4 portrait format
     
  • the file must not exceed a maximum size of 20 MB
     
  • the design is in one colour, relates to the theme "All about studying" and the number 33 has been incorporated into the design

  • the contour thickness (thickness of the lines) in the design must not be less than 0.3 mm

The Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau reserves the right to exclude submitted designs from participation if they do not meet the specified parameters or make offensive, insulting or political statements.

All designs received after 24.04.2024, 24:00, can no longer be evaluated and considered for the competition.

A public vote between the best designs will then take place on the social media accounts of the Chemnitz-Zwickau Student Union (@studentenwerk_chemnitz_zwickau (Instagram), @Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau (Facebook)). The Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau reserves the right, depending on the number of submissions, to make a pre-selection of designs that will be approved for the social media vote. Each account is only authorised to vote once. Voting will take place in the comments. All participants whose designs have made it into the voting phase may also take part in the voting.

The design that receives the most votes during the voting phase will be the winner. The winner and the winning design will also be published and informed on social media. The winner will also be informed of the prize via the email address provided and can collect the €50 canteen voucher from the information point in Chemnitz or Zwickau upon presentation of their ID card.

The winning design will be screen-printed live on 29 May 2024 in Chemnitz and on 4 June 2024 in Zwickau on jute bags and distributed free of charge to the students on site.

Rights of use/publication

1. by submitting the design, the participant confirms that he/she owns all rights to the design uploaded by him/her or that he/she is authorised by the rights holder to submit the design for the purpose of participation. This must be proven in case of doubt. It is also guaranteed that the design is free of third-party rights and does not infringe any third-party rights. In particular, no image or graphic material may be used for the design to which the participant does not hold the unrestricted rights of use. No logos or brands of other companies or organisations may be used without the written consent of the rights holder. This also applies, for example, to image material from stock archives. The Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau is not obliged to check the submitted designs for possible infringements of third-party rights. The use and uploading of content that violates civil and/or criminal law regulations within the scope of the German Civil Code (BGB), Criminal Code (StGB) or other protective laws or is suitable for denigrating other persons, groups of persons or companies, offending the religious feelings of third parties and/or is harmful to minors, pornographic, racist, glorifies violence, incites hatred, is offensive or violates common decency in a comparable manner and/or violates other rights and obligations and other conditions of Facebook and/or Instagram is expressly prohibited.

2. if, contrary to the above provision, the participant nevertheless uploads content to which the exclusive copyright does not exist and the Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau or a company affiliated with it suffers a legal disadvantage for this reason, the Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau rejects any liability towards the actual rights holder and reserves the right to take legal action against the participant. In this respect, the participant indemnifies the Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau against all third-party claims arising from the content provided by him/her. If the participant subsequently realises that content has been uploaded for which the exclusive copyright does not exist, the Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau must be informed immediately. For this purpose, an e-mail must be sent to info@swcz.de.

3. all finalists of the design competition transfer the exclusive rights of use of the submitted design for free use to the Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau upon upload. The transfer of these rights takes place without restrictions in terms of content, space or time and includes the right to reproduce, distribute, make available to the public, broadcast, edit (see rights of use section 5) and transfer to third parties. No fee is payable for the granting of exclusive rights of use. The Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau is under no obligation to actually utilise the winning design.

4. all participants agree in particular that the uploaded design may be published by the Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau on its own homepage, the official social media channels of the organisation and in the context of press work, with or without mentioning the name, and transfers the corresponding rights to the Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau.


5. If necessary, the designs are digitally reworked for print preparation. Care will be taken to ensure that the character of the design is preserved. The participant expressly agrees to this.

6. all participants must agree in writing by e-mail that their name may be mentioned in connection with their own design should the design be included in the social media voting. If this is not done, the design will be published without a name. Pseudonyms or shortened names are also possible and can be specified as a preference. The names may also be used for press work in the course of follow-up reporting and may be used both in print products and digitally. With regard to the use of personal data, please refer to the privacy policy.

Premature termination/exclusion

1. the Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau reserves the right to cancel or terminate the campaign without prior notice and without giving reasons. This applies in particular if proper implementation cannot be guaranteed for technical or legal reasons. In such a case, the participants are not entitled to any claims against the Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau.

2. the Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau reserves the right to exclude participants from taking part in the campaign, for example in the event of violations of the conditions of participation and in particular in the event of illegal content of the design. Participants will also be excluded if there is a suspicion of manipulation or if the competition has been unduly influenced. In these cases, prizes may also be subsequently cancelled or reclaimed. The Studentenwerk Chemnitz-Zwickau reserves the right to change the conditions of participation, to extend or limit the time frame or to vary the content of the prizes, provided there are objective reasons for doing so and the change is appropriate.
