Contest Rules
Sponsor & Administrator
This promotion is organized and administered by the 40-40 Campaign Team. All winner communications will be sent privately from sylvesto@uwindsor.ca after August 10, 2025.
Eligibility
This draw is open to residents of Canada and the United States of America, aged 18 years or older at the time of entry. Employees of the campaign will not participate in the prize draw.
How to Enter
Participants can earn entries by visiting local businesses and scanning the QR code after engaging with the business.
- 1 entry is awarded for every 6 different participating businesses visited.
- 3 bonus entries are awarded for every completed tour (as defined by the 4040 Campaign on the tours page).
- Participants may scan the QR code at a specific business only once within a 24-hour period. While multiple different businesses can be visited and scanned on the same day, repeat scans at the same location within 24 hours will not count toward additional entries.This ensures fair participation and helps maintain the integrity of the campaign.
No Purchase Required: QR codes will be displayed at participating businesses. Participants are not required to make a purchase to scan a QR code and submit their visit. Upon scanning, participants may record $0.00 on the spending form without affecting their eligibility. You’re welcome to pop in and say hi, even if you’re not buying something. It’s all about showing local love and engagement - your presence matters. A visit is defined as physically checking in and scanning the posted QR code at a participating location after a purchase, service, experience, or meaningful engagement with the business.
Please note: Spending more does not increase your chances of winning. This initiative is designed to support community engagement and local business traffic. Entries are based solely on the number of visits.
