Extra Player Instagram Competition - Terms & Conditions

This season, it’s not just about watching the Queensland Reds — it’s about being part of it. The Extra Player campaign is open to everyone. You do not need to be a Reds member to participate.

1. Promoter

The promotion is conducted by Canterbury International (Aust) Pty Ltd (ABN 96 001 031 634), of Level 23, 480 Queen Street, Brisbane, QLD 4000 (the “Promoter”), in collaboration with Queensland Rugby Union Limited (the “Queensland Reds”).

Contact for queries relating to this promotion: canterburyshop@canterburynz.com.au, or by phone on 1800 318 560.

2. Promotion Period

The promotion opens at 12:00am AEST on 8 May 2026 and closes at 11:59pm AEST on 30 May 2026 (the “Promotion Period”). Entries received outside this period will not be eligible.

3. Eligibility

Entry is open to:

•      Australian residents aged 13 years or over at the time of entry; and

•      Holders of an active Instagram account that complies with Instagram’s Terms of Use and any applicable law.

Entrants under the age of 18 must obtain the prior consent of a parent or legal guardian before entering. By entering, an entrant under 18 confirms that such consent has been obtained. The Promoter may, at its discretion, require written confirmation of that consent (in a form satisfactory to the Promoter) before awarding any prize, and reserves the right to forfeit a prize where adequate consent cannot be evidenced.

The following persons are not eligible to enter:

•      Employees, officers, and contractors of the Promoter, Queensland Rugby Union Limited, and their related bodies corporate;

•      Employees and contractors of any agency associated with this promotion (including Mad Panda Media); and

•      Immediate family members (spouse, parent, child, sibling) of any of the above.

4. How to Enter (Instagram Only)

To enter, during the Promotion Period an entrant must:

1.     Wear Queensland Reds or Canterbury apparel;

2.     Post a photo or video to Instagram (feed post or Story);

3.     Tag @canterburyaustralia in the post; and

4.     Include the hashtag #RedsExtraPlayer26.

Additional requirements:

•      The entrant’s Instagram account must be set to public for the duration of the Promotion Period and for a reasonable period afterwards to allow the Promoter to verify the entry.

•      Story entries must clearly tag @canterburyaustralia at the time of posting. Because Instagram Stories expire after 24 hours, entrants are encouraged to also send their Story to @canterburyaustralia by Direct Message to ensure the entry is recorded. The Promoter accepts no responsibility for Story entries that are not viewed or captured before they expire.

•      Each valid post counts as one entry. Multiple entries are permitted, provided each entry is a separate, original post.

5. Entry Conditions

By entering, each entrant warrants that their entry:

•      Is original content created by the entrant;

•      Does not infringe the copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or any other rights of any third party;

•      Does not contain offensive, defamatory, misleading, indecent, or otherwise inappropriate material;

•      Does not feature any other identifiable individual unless that individual (or, in the case of a minor, their parent or legal guardian) has given consent to appear and to have the content used in accordance with these Terms; and

•      Has been posted from an authentic personal Instagram account, and is not the result of automated, fraudulent, or bulk-generated activity.

The Promoter reserves the right to remove, refuse, or disqualify any entry that, in its reasonable opinion, does not comply with these Terms.

6. Judging & Prizes

This is a game of skill. Chance plays no part in determining the winners.

Entries will be judged by a panel of representatives of the Promoter and the Queensland Reds on the following criteria:

•      Creativity;

•      Effort; and

•      Energy and support shown for the Queensland Reds.

In the event of a tie, the judges will reconsider the tied entries against the same criteria and select the winner(s) on the same basis. The judges’ decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

Prizes may include:

•      Queensland Reds merchandise;

•      Canterbury apparel; and

•      Campaign-related rewards and experiences.

Prizes are:

•      Not transferable; and

•      Not redeemable for cash.

If a prize (or any element of it) becomes unavailable for reasons beyond the Promoter’s control, the Promoter may substitute a prize of equal or greater value, subject to any directions of a relevant regulator.

7. Winner Notification

Winners will be contacted by Instagram Direct Message from @canterburyaustralia.

A winner must respond and provide the information reasonably requested by the Promoter (which may include name, age, contact details, postal address, and, for entrants under 18, written parent or guardian consent) within 7 days of being notified.

If a winner does not respond within 7 days, fails to provide the information requested, or is found not to comply with these Terms, the Promoter reserves the right to forfeit that prize and select an alternative winner from the remaining valid entries on the same judging criteria. Any alternative winner will be selected within 30 days of the original winner’s forfeiture.

8. Content Usage & Moral Rights

By entering, you grant the Promoter and Queensland Rugby Union Limited a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, sublicensable licence to use, reproduce, edit, adapt, modify, publish, communicate to the public, and otherwise exploit your entry (in whole or in part) for any purpose connected with this promotion or the marketing of the Promoter, Canterbury, or the Queensland Reds, including:

•      Social media;

•      Websites;

•      Advertising campaigns; and

To the extent permitted by the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), you consent to any act or omission by the Promoter, Queensland Rugby Union Limited, and their licensees that would otherwise infringe your moral rights in your entry, including the right of attribution of authorship, the right not to have authorship falsely attributed, and the right of integrity of authorship (which includes consent to the entry being used without attribution and to it being modified, edited, or adapted).

You warrant that you have obtained equivalent consents from any other person who appears in, or contributed to, your entry. No payment or compensation will be provided to you in respect of any use of your entry.

9. Privacy

The Promoter collects personal information from entrants for the purpose of conducting this promotion, including verifying eligibility, judging entries, contacting winners, awarding and delivering prizes, and complying with applicable laws.

Personal information may be disclosed to the Promoter’s related bodies corporate, Queensland Rugby Union Limited, prize fulfilment partners, and any agency assisting with the promotion (including Mad Panda Media).

By entering, each entrant releases Instagram and Meta Platforms, Inc. from any responsibility in connection with this promotion, and acknowledges that any information provided is provided to the Promoter and not to Instagram.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights or remedies an entrant may have under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or modified.

Subject to the paragraph above, and to the extent permitted by law, the Promoter is not responsible for:

•      Disqualify any entrant who breaches these Terms, or who engages in conduct that is fraudulent, deceptive, or otherwise damaging to the Promoter or the goodwill of the Queensland Reds; and

•      Modify, suspend, or cancel the promotion if it becomes incapable of being conducted as reasonably anticipated. Any material change will be communicated via @canterburyaustralia.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. Each entrant submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland and the courts competent to hear appeals from those courts.
