Aryga.com — Quarterly Photo Contest

Article 01 – Purpose

ARYGA, publisher of the website Aryga.com (hereinafter the “Organiser”), organises a quarterly photo contest on the theme of custom furniture manufactured by the company. The purpose of this contest is to showcase and share customers’ creations, while rewarding their loyalty and engagement within the Aryga.com community and the most active members of that community.

Article 02 – Conditions of participation

Voting on participating photos is free and open to any natural person aged 18 or over, with no purchase obligation. Customers wishing to submit a photo of their furniture must have purchased that furniture from Aryga.com.

Participation implies full and unreserved acceptance of these rules and waiver of any right to challenge the Organiser’s decisions. Any incomplete, illegible, late or improperly submitted entry shall be deemed void.

Article 03 – Periods and procedure

All photos received during a calendar quarter are entered into a photo contest the following month (for example: photos received from April to June are put to the vote in July). Photos received at the end of a quarter may not be processed immediately and will in that case be included in the following quarter’s contest.

Each quarterly edition comprises four phases:
Phase 1 – Submission of photos by participating customers
Phase 2 – Pre-selection of 6 photos by vote of the Aryga.com team
Phase 3 – Public vote on the 6 selected photos
Phase 4 – Designation of the winning photo and award of prizes

Article 04 – How customers participate

To enter the photo contest, the customer must send one or more photo(s) to the Aryga team, for example by email to: [email protected]

Photos must depict at least one piece of custom furniture manufactured by ARYGA. The participant declares on their honour that they are the author of the submitted photograph(s) and hold all related rights (see Article 11).

At the end of the quarter, subject to their photo being eligible, each participating customer will receive a Pluxee multi-store gift voucher worth €20 as a thank-you for taking part, regardless of the vote outcome. This participation voucher is limited to one per order and per participant. It will be sent by email at the end of the quarter concerned.

Article 05 – Pre-selection and public vote

From all photos received, the Aryga.com team selects (by vote) 6 finalist photos to be submitted to the public vote. Pre-selection criteria include staging quality, originality and showcasing of the custom furniture.

The 6 selected photos are published on Aryga.com and on the Organiser’s social networks. Voting is open to everyone: customers, internet users, social media followers (Facebook, Instagram, etc.), with no prior registration required.

Each voter has one vote per voting session. A verification mechanism prevents multiple votes by the same user.

Providing an email address is entirely optional and does not affect the validity of the vote.

Article 06 – Prize draw for voters

After voting, participants are invited to provide their email address to enter a prize draw held at the end of the quarter. The person drawn may win a €250 shopping voucher valid on Aryga.com for any custom furniture order with a minimum value of €300.

Article 07 – Referral programme and rewards for voters

Participants who have provided their email address receive a personal referral link to the contest page. By sharing this link with their contacts or on social networks, they accumulate points that increase their chances in the prize draw and can be converted into discounts usable on Aryga.com.

For the prize draw, a user who has obtained N points appears N times on the list from which a single random electronic draw is made.

Point-earning actions include in particular:

An internet user (A) shares a voting link with friends.

A vote by user (B) via that link earns 3 points for (A).

If user (B) shares in turn, each vote by user (C) via that link earns 2 points for (A) and 3 points for (B).

If user (C) shares in turn, each vote by user (D) via that link earns 1 point for (A), 2 points for (B) and 3 points for (C).

Additional chances:
S'inscrire volontairement à la newsletter Aryga.com (1 point).
