ELIGIBILITY:

1. This splendid competition is open to UK residents aged 16 or over, except employees of the Promoter (including Crumlin noodle miners), their families, agents or anyone professionally connected with the competition.

COMPETITION:

2. We want you (yes, YOU) to create your own original Pot Noodle-related video and upload it on our YouTube Channel at www.youtube.com/ potnoodlenetwork. So grab your mates, find a digital camera, camcorder or mobile phone and get filming.

3. You can send us your video in one of three ways:
a. Upload it using the link on the Pot Noodle Channel homepage
b. Post it to us at The PNN at 1 St John’s Lane, London, EC1M 4BL
c. MMS it to us on 07866 972675 Video messages will cost between 20p and 60p depending on your network. Charges on the major networks are outlined below.

Video messages;
3 – 50p
Vodafone – 60p
Orange – 42.6p
T-Mobile – 20p

4. Once we receive your video, we will give it the quick once over to ensure that its content is acceptable for public viewing (see CONDITIONS OF ENTRY). If it gets the green light, we will upload it onto the Channel and let the battle commence. Don’t worry, your film won’t languish in someone’s inbox for weeks – we'll be checking for new films every day and will upload them as soon as they’ve been approved.

5. Once your video is up on the channel, your genius will be at the mercy of the public vote. The more hits your video gets, the more likely you are to win, even if it’s only your Mum that’s watching. This is a popularity contest so don’t rely on pot luck.

6. 4 triumphant videos will each win one of the Grand Prizes. As the clock strikes midnight on July 31st, August 31st, September 30th and October 31st 2007, the video that’s been viewed the most times will be declared the winner. In the unlikely event of a tie, we will award the Grand Prize to the video that most embraces Pot Noodle culture. Our decision is FINAL and that’s the end of it.

7. Each month, we will set a new topic for your videos. To be in with a chance of winning the next Grand Prize, your video must address this topic (at least loosely). If you submit a video based on an alternative topic it won't be eligible for the spoils of victory (see PRIZES below).

8. You may send us hundreds of videos if you wish but you can’t win the Grand Prize twice (although if you’re quick, you could win a case of Pot Noodle as well) and you can only win one case of 12 Pot Noodles each month.

9. The creative bods at our ad agency may seed their own videos onto the Channel to fuel the flames of competition. In the unlikely event that their videos are better than yours, don’t worry – they're not allowed to win anything, not even a free Pot Noodle.

10. You've got to be in it to win it, so make sure you upload your videos before closing time at midnight on, August 4th, September 4th, October 4th and November 4th 2007 depending on the relevant topic.

PRIZES:

11. There are 4 Grand Prizes to give away, each a brand spanking new Sony PlayStation 3.

12. The first 125 people to get their videos onto the Pot Noodle Channel each month, will each win a case of 12 Pot Noodles. If you’re one of these early birds, you can choose the flavour from either Chicken and Mushroom, Beef and Tomato, Original Curry, Chinese Chow Mein or Bombay Bad Boy. You will only be able to win once a month.

WINNERS:

13. Each winner will be notified by email within 28 days of winning. If a winner fails to claim the prize within 60 days of this notification, he or she will forfeit the prize and we’ll give it to the video with the second most hits at the relevant time.
