OpenMind - Submission & Prize Draw Terms
Section 1: Submission Terms
By submitting your artwork to OpenMind, you agree to the following:
Your rights
-
Your artwork is yours. You keep ownership and copyright of your submitted work.
-
You may choose whether your work is shown with your full name, a display name, or anonymously.
-
You may ask to withdraw your submission before the stated submission deadline. After that point, printed or published materials may already be in production, so complete removal may not always be possible.
How we may use your submission
-
You give EmoEx permission to review, display, print, reproduce, crop, resize, and use your submitted artwork, title, written summary, and display name for the OpenMind exhibition, website, social media, media coverage, promotional materials, and event reporting.
-
We may edit formatting, layout, image size, or wording for display and promotion, but we will not change the overall meaning of your submission.
-
We may use trusted service providers and event partners to help run the exhibition, auction, and related promotion. We will not share your submission with third parties for AI training purposes.
-
Your submission will not be used to train AI models.
Auction and fundraising
-
Selected works may be included in the silent auction or other fundraising activities connected to OpenMind.
-
All proceeds from auction sales will go to Autism Kids Collective. If your work is selected for auction, you will not receive payment unless we agree otherwise in writing.
-
Copyright stays with you. If your work is sold, the buyer receives the physical printed piece or auction item only, not the copyright.
Other important points
-
You confirm that the submission is your own to share and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights or include anything unlawful, abusive, or confidential.
-
Submission does not guarantee selection for exhibition or auction.
-
We may decline, remove, or withdraw any submission at any time if needed.
-
To the extent allowed by law, EmoEx is not responsible for losses, claims, or issues arising from your submission, auction listing, or use of third-party platforms.
Section 2: Prize Draw (Optional)
Entry to the OpenMind Prize Draw is free and separate from your image submission. By opting in on the submission form, you get the chance to win 1 x iPad Air 11-inch (M4). Open to residents of New Zealand and Australia only.
Promoter This prize draw is run by EmoEx ("we", "us", "our").
Promotion period The prize draw opens on 1 May 2026 and closes at 11:59 on 28 May 2026, New Zealand time.
Who can enter Entry is open to residents of New Zealand and Australia only. If you are under 18, you must have your parent or guardian's permission to enter and claim the prize. Our employees, contractors, and their immediate family members are not eligible to enter.
How to enter Submit an eligible image through the OpenMind submission page during the promotion period. Each valid image submission counts as one entry. You may enter more than once, but each image must be a genuine separate submission. Duplicate, incomplete, automated, unlawful, or non-compliant entries may be removed and will not count.
No purchase required Entry is free. Normal internet or mobile charges may apply.
The prize There is one prize: an iPad Air 11-inch (M4). This promotion is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Apple. The prize is not transferable, exchangeable, or redeemable for cash. If the advertised prize becomes unavailable, we may substitute a prize of equal or greater value.
Prize draw The winner will be drawn at random from all eligible entries received during the promotion period on [draw date]. The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.
Winner contact We will contact the winner using the contact details provided with their submission. If the winner cannot be contacted, does not respond within 5 working days, or is not eligible, we may draw another winner.
Prize delivery The prize will be delivered to a New Zealand or Australian address nominated by the winner. Delivery costs are included. We are not responsible for prizes lost or delayed once dispatched.
Tax Winners are responsible for any tax obligations arising from receipt of the prize in their jurisdiction. We recommend seeking independent advice if you are unsure.
Privacy We will use your details only to run the prize draw, contact the winner, and deliver the prize, in line with our Privacy Policy. If you are located in Australia, your information will be handled in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988.
Other important points We may verify entries and disqualify any entry that breaches these terms or tampers with the process. We are not responsible for late, lost, incomplete, or failed entries due to technical issues. If the draw cannot be run fairly or lawfully for reasons outside our control, we may suspend or cancel it.
