• Employees of Lora Milano and anyone directly involved in administering or judging the Competition may be excluded.
• By entering, you confirm that you are eligible to participate and that the information you provide is accurate.

3. How to Enter

• Entries must be submitted through the official Lora Milano Emerging Designer Competition website or another method expressly specified by us.
• Entries must meet the brief, format and deadline published for the Competition.
• Incomplete, late, misleading or ineligible entries may be excluded.

4. Originality and Intellectual Property

• You must own your submission or have all necessary rights and permissions to submit it.
• Your entry must not unlawfully copy another person’s work or infringe any third-party intellectual property, privacy or other rights.
• You retain ownership of the intellectual property in your submission. Entering the Competition does not, by itself, transfer ownership of your designs to Lora Milano.
• By entering, you grant Lora Milano a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce and display your submission solely as reasonably necessary to administer, judge and promote the Competition, including announcing and showcasing selected entries.
• This licence does not give Lora Milano the right to manufacture, sell or commercially exploit your design independently of the Competition. Any such use will require a separate written agreement with you.
• You are responsible for obtaining permission for any third-party material included in your submission.

5. Judging and Selection

Entries will be assessed against the criteria communicated in the Competition brief. These may include originality, creativity, design quality, relevance to the brief and feasibility.

Lora Milano may reject entries that do not meet the stated requirements or that contain unlawful, offensive or infringing material.

We will make reasonable efforts to communicate results using the contact details provided by entrants.

6. Prizes and Opportunities

Any prizes, recognition, exhibition opportunities or potential collaborations will be described in the relevant Competition announcement.

• Prizes are subject to any conditions published with the Competition.
• A prize may not be transferred or exchanged unless we expressly permit it.
• Any future production, licensing, commission or commercial partnership will be subject to a separate written agreement.
• Entrants are responsible for any taxes or personal expenses associated with receiving or using a prize, where applicable by law.

7. Publicity

With appropriate permission or another lawful basis, Lora Milano may announce selected entrants and showcase their names, biographies, photographs and submitted designs in connection with the Competition.

We will explain any additional publicity permissions required before using material beyond the scope of the licence in Section 4. Where required by law, you may decline optional publicity without affecting your entry.

8. Disqualification

Lora Milano may disqualify an entrant where there is reasonable evidence of fraud, plagiarism, misrepresentation, a breach of these Terms & Conditions or conduct that undermines the integrity of the Competition.

Where reasonably practicable, we will provide an explanation of the decision.

9. Competition Changes or Cancellation

We reserve the right to amend, suspend or cancel the Competition where reasonably necessary, including due to circumstances beyond our control. We will take reasonable steps to communicate material changes through the Lora Milano Emerging Designer Competition website or other official Competition communication channels.

We will not use this clause to avoid obligations that cannot lawfully be excluded.

10. Liability

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so.

Subject to that restriction, Lora Milano is not responsible for technical failures, submission errors caused by systems outside our reasonable control, or losses arising from an entrant’s failure to follow the entry requirements.

Entrants remain responsible for keeping their own copies of their submissions.

11. Personal Information

Personal information will be handled in accordance with the Lora Milano Emerging Designer Competition Privacy Policy, available on the Lora Milano Emerging Designer Competition website. The policy explains how we collect, use, retain and protect entrants’ information and how individuals can exercise their applicable data protection rights.
