Participation in the competition and the awarding of prizes are governed solely by the terms and conditions set out below.

§ 1 Object of the competition

The organiser of the “STAEDTLER Back to School Lucky Code Competition 2025” (hereinafter referred to as the “STAEDTLER Competition”) is STAEDTLER SE, Moosäckerstraße 3, 90427 Nuremberg, Germany. The STAEDTLER Prize Draw 2025 will run for a limited period from 1 July 2025 to 30 September 2025 (“promotion period”). Participation is only possible during the promotion period.

STAEDTLER SE has commissioned caspar company GmbH (hereinafter referred to as the appointed agency) to manage and carry out the promotion.

These terms and conditions apply exclusively to the United Kingdom (UK).

The promotion applies to the entire STAEDTLER product range (“STAEDTLER products”). Any receipt showing proof of purchase of STAEDTLER products worth £8.50, together with registration on the promotional website and compliance with these terms and conditions, entitles the customer to take part in the competition. The original receipt or invoice (in the case of an online purchase) for the purchased STAEDTLER products must be kept.

Participation in the competition is exclusively subject to the conditions listed here. By participating, each participant agrees to the validity of these conditions of participation. The participant confirms that he/she fulfils the requirements stated for participation.

The competition is also being held in other countries, in accordance with terms and conditions adapted to the respective national legal requirements.

§ 2 Eligibility to participate

Participation is open exclusively to natural persons residing in the United Kingdom.

Any natural person aged 18 or over who is resident in the UK and fulfils the requirements set out in these terms and conditions is eligible to take part.

Multiple entries per person and per household are permitted. The organiser reserves the right to verify the eligibility of winners prior to awarding any prizes, in order to ensure that prizes are only awarded to eligible participants. If such a check reveals that participation was not lawful, the organiser reserves the right to withhold the prize.

Employees of all companies, agencies, or retail partners involved in organising or implementing the promotion, as well as their family members, are excluded from participation. Passing on receipts or invoices (in the case of online purchases), whether for payment or free of charge, is not permitted.

Participation via entry or sweepstakes services is also not permitted.

The organiser reserves the right to exclude any participant who violates the terms and conditions (e.g. by providing false information) from taking part.

If a lack of eligibility or a breach of the rules is discovered after a prize has been allocated, STAEDTLER SE is entitled to withhold the prize. Any attempt by a participant to deliberately disrupt or interfere with the proper conduct of the competition is strictly prohibited and may result in civil and criminal liability. STAEDTLER SE reserves all legal rights in such cases.

§ 3 Promotion description and participation modalities

Participation in the STAEDTLER 2025 competition is possible exclusively online via the promotional website www.staedtler-promotion.com (“promotional website”).

During the promotional period, customers in the UK can purchase STAEDTLER products. To take part in the STAEDTLER 2025 Competition, a minimum purchase of £8.50 worth of STAEDTLER products is required. Each receipt showing a purchase of at least £8.50 worth of STAEDTLER products entitles the participant to enter the competition. Every qualifying receipt represents one chance to win.

After purchasing the STAEDTLER products, the participant must visit the promotional website during the promotional period.

To enter the competition, participants must:

  1. Register on the promotional website,
  2. Upload a copy or photo of the receipt or invoice (for online purchases), and
  3. Provide the following details about themselves and the receipt/invoice:

Required participant information includes:

  1. Title (*mandatory)
  2. First and last name (*mandatory)
  3. Email address (*mandatory)
  4. Login credentials (password) for multiple entries
  5. Confirmation of terms and conditions and data privacy policy (*mandatory)
  6. Confirmation that the participant is at least 18 years old (*mandatory)

Finally, participants must confirm their entry by accepting these terms and conditions and acknowledging the privacy policy. The processing of personal data in connection with the competition is based on the participant’s consent. Participants have the right to withdraw their consent at any time with future effect.

After registering on the promotional website, participants must upload their receipt and enter the following details from the receipt or invoice (in the case of an online purchase) into the designated fields on the promotional site:

  1. Postcode and place of purchase
  2. Date and time of the receipt or invoice (for online purchases)
  3. Name and quantity of the purchased products

The receipt or invoice must be uploaded as a scanned image or photo. Accepted file formats are JPG and PNG, with a maximum file size of 5 MB. The original receipt or invoice must also be kept for up to eight weeks after the promotion ends.

After successfully uploading the receipt, each participant will receive one lucky code per purchased STAEDTLER product. Participants can immediately check on the promotional website what prize they have won using their lucky code.

To do so, they must click the “check code and win now” button. Once the code has been used in this way, it becomes invalid. Lucky codes are assigned to participants via a random generator and were pre-linked to prizes using a computer-based random draw procedure prior to the start of the promotional period, as outlined in Section 6 and referenced in Section 5.

Publication or sale of lucky codes is strictly prohibited.

Multiple entries are allowed; however, each receipt may only be used once. For any additional entries, a new receipt showing a purchase of at least £8.50 in STAEDTLER products is required.

All receipts and invoices (in the case of online purchases) must be uploaded to the promotional website no later than 30 September 2025 at 23:59 CET. Entries submitted after this deadline will not be accepted.

All participants may also contact the support service email account at: staedtler@caspar-company.cc if they have any questions.

§4 Prizes

Each lucky code issued as part of the competition—which is also being run in other countries—is linked to a specific prize. The prize associated with each individual lucky code was determined prior to the start of the promotion using a computer-based random selection process.

Participants across all countries taking part in the competition have the chance to win the following prizes:

  1. Prize level 1
    3x VW California campervan, each valued at £85,000, or a cash alternative.

  3. Prize level 3

  5. Prize level 5

  6. Prize level 6
    Each participant who does not win a prize from level 1 to 5 will receive an £4.40 voucher for Journi Print, with the following redemption conditions:
    • £4.40 discount applies only to the product value, not to shipping costs
    • Not combinable with other offers
    • One-time use only
    • Minimum order value: £21.75
    • No cash alternative available
    • Redeemable at www.journiapp.com or via the Journi Print App (available in the App Store & Google Play Store)

The prizes are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged. Cash alternatives are only available for those prize levels where this is explicitly stated.

If, for reasons beyond the control of STAEDTLER SE, a prize becomes unavailable, STAEDTLER SE reserves the right to replace it with an equivalent prize.

§5 Promotion and Redemption Period

Participants can purchase STAEDTLER products within the period from 1st July 2025 at 00:01 to 30th September 2025 at 23:59 ("Promotion Period").

Receipts may be uploaded within the same timeframe—from 1st July 2025 at 00:01 to 30th September 2025 at 23:59 ("Redemption Period").

Participation is only possible within these stated timeframes. Any participants who purchase STAEDTLER products outside the promotion period or upload receipts outside the redemption period will not be considered when determining the winners.

§6 Winner selection

Prior to the start of the competition, lucky codes were generated and each assigned to a prize from levels 1–6 using a computer-based random selection system. Each participant’s lucky code is also assigned using this computer-based random process.

Because the allocation of lucky codes and prizes continues throughout the entire redemption period, the number of top-level prizes available (tiers 1–5) will decrease over time. As such, the odds of winning a top-tier prize will vary depending on when a participant enters the competition. For example, it is possible that a prize from level 1 could be won early in the redemption period and therefore no longer be available to subsequent participants.

By entering, all participants expressly agree to these varying odds due to the ongoing nature of the promotion.

The selection of winners is final; no legal recourse is permitted.

Prizes are awarded for private, non-commercial use only. If, for any reason attributable to the winner, they cannot be contacted by post, telephone, or email within six weeks, or fail to claim their prize, the prize entitlement will expire. Prizes cannot be exchanged.

Winners of prize levels 1 to 6 will be notified online and via email. In addition, winners of levels 1 to 4 will receive a prize declaration form as a PDF attachment. This form must be printed out by the winners of prize levels 1 to 4, fully completed (including first and last name, address, date of birth, telephone number, and signature), and sent together with the original receipt within six weeks of receiving the confirmation email to the following address (sending via registered post is recommended):

caspar company GmbH
Ref: “STAEDTLER“
Nonnenstieg 9
20149 Hamburg
Germany

The cost of sending the documents lies with the winner.

The prize will only be awarded if the original receipt and the completed declaration form are received by caspar company GmbH within the six-week period (date of postmark applies), and their accuracy and validity have been verified. Neither STAEDTLER SE nor the agency responsible for administering the promotion accepts liability for lost or delayed submissions sent by post.

Winners of prize level 5 will receive a £8.50 shopping voucher from the retailer where the STAEDTLER products were purchased, after successful validation of their entry. If a voucher is not available from the store, the winner will be asked to provide their IBAN for a bank transfer. The voucher will be sent digitally or by post within four weeks of the prize notification, depending on availability.

Winners of prize level 6 will receive an £4.40 voucher from Journi Print, subject to the following redemption conditions:

  • The £4.40 discount applies to the product value only, not to shipping costs
  • Cannot be combined with other discounts
  • Valid for one-time use only
  • Minimum order value: £21.75
  • No cash alternative available
  • Redeemable at www.journiapp.com or in the Journi Print app (available on the App Store & Google Play)

§7 Data protection

STAEDTLER SE is solely responsible for the collection, processing, and use of all personal data of participants and winners. The privacy policy of STAEDTLER SE relating to the promotion website and the Glückscode prize draw can be accessed here.

§8 Disclaimer of Liability
