Terms & Conditions

Agreement to Rules: By entering into the Smarties® U Giveaway (the “Contest”), you agree to abide by these rules (the “Official Rules”) and the decisions of Smarties, which are final and binding. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all the requirements set forth herein. This Contest is sponsored by Smarties Candy Company, owner of the trademark Smarties® (referred to in these rules as “Smarties”).

Promotion Period: The Smarties® U Giveaway will run from Tuesday, September 10, 2024, through Friday, October 25, 2024.

Eligibility: Participants must:

1. Have a valid U.S. mailing address to be eligible to receive any prizes.

2. Be either:

  • Parents or legal guardians, aged 18 or older, applying on behalf of a student who has received straight As or equivalent high marks on their first report card or progress report; or
  • Adult students aged 18 or older who are applying on their own behalf.

A “picture of a student’s first report card or progress report” refers to a digital copy or photo of the student’s first report card or progress report taken during the promotion period (September 10, 2024, through October 25, 2024).

Employees of Smarties and their immediate family members (spouses, parents, children, siblings, and their respective spouses) are not eligible for the Contest. Those living in the same household as an employee of Smarties or any of the participating brands are not eligible for the Contest. The Contest is void where prohibited or restricted by law.

For participants submitting grades for children under the age of 13: If the student is under the age of 13, the entry must be anonymized by removing any personally identifiable information (e.g., student’s name, address). If personal information is included, the parent or legal guardian must provide verifiable parental consent in accordance with COPPA regulations before the entry can be accepted. As a matter of prudence, Smarties encourages anonymizing the child’s information to limit data collection.

How to Enter: To enter, submit a photo of the first report card or progress report showing straight As or equivalent high marks during the promotion period via the Smarties® U Giveaway Submission Form by clicking the “ENTER HERE” button. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. PURCHASING PRODUCT FROM SMARTIES OR A PAYMENT OF ANY KIND WILL NOT INCREASE THE CHANCES OF WINNING. Only one entry per student and/or family is allowed. Entries must be submitted by a parent or legal guardian on behalf of the student, or by an adult student on their own behalf, and must comply with the eligibility requirements stated above.

  • Up to one (1) winner will receive 1 Year’s Supply of Smarties®, which includes a bulk case containing approximately 2,350 rolls of Smarties®.
  • Up to fifty (50) winners will receive a Study Snack Pack, which includes an assortment of Smarties® candy and branded merchandise.
  • Up to one hundred (100) winners will receive a Smarties U bumper sticker.

Smarties reserves the right to modify these prizes by substituting alternative awards of equal or greater value at its sole discretion and may do so at any time without notice. All prize winners are responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes related to the prize. Prizes are non-transferable and non-assignable, with no cash redemptions or substitutions, except at Smarties’ sole discretion.

Winner Selection: Winners will be selected through random drawings conducted during multiple send-out periods within the Promotion Period. The first round of winners will be selected and notified by September 25, 2024, the second round by October 10, 2024, and the final round by October 26, 2024. The winner of the Year’s Supply of Smarties® will be selected in the final round, with notification sent out by October 28, 2024. Each winner will be contacted by Smarties via email from smartiesu@smarties.com and will have 5 business days to respond and provide any requested information or documentation. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the prize, and an alternate winner may be selected.
