All entries not received within the applicable Prizing Period will be null and void and ineligible for that drawing. Entries do not carry over between Prizing Periods. A new entry is required for each Quarterly Sweepstakes.

How to Enter: To enter, an eligible student must, during a Great Clipper Event presentation held at their school, follow the link or scan the QR code provided by the Great Clips representative and personally complete the online entry form in full. Entries must be submitted during the presentation; late submissions will not be accepted. Each Entrant may submit only one (1) entry per Quarterly Sweepstakes. Only the Entrant’s own information will be collected by Sponsor. If the Entrant’s Class is selected to receive a prize, Sponsor may disclose limited details from the winning entry (Entrant’s name, school, instructor, course section, and time block) to the Great Clips representative and class instructor solely to coordinate scheduling and delivery of the prize. By submitting the entry form, Entrants acknowledge and agree that their information will also be added to Sponsor’s Talent Community and governed by the Talent Community terms and the Great Clips Privacy Notice.

By submitting an entry, the Entrant represents that the information provided is truthful and accurate. Incomplete or inaccurate entries will be null and void. Sponsor reserves the right to reject entries for failure to comply with these Terms and Conditions or otherwise meet eligibility requirements.

Giveaway Selection Process: On or about January 7, April 7, July 7 and October 7 of each year, Sponsor will conduct a drawing for the applicable Quarterly Sweepstakes and will randomly select one (1) Entrant from among all valid entry forms that were completed during a Great Clipper Event presentation within the immediately preceding Prizing Period. Entries do not roll over between Quarterly Sweepstakes.

  • Definition of “Class”: For purposes of this Giveaway, a “Class” means the group of students enrolled in the same cosmetology/barbering course section at the same school, taught by the same instructor, and scheduled at the same time block listed on the winning Entrant’s entry form.
  • Winner and Class Awards: One (1) potential winner will be randomly selected per Quarterly Sweepstakes. Everyone in winner’s Class who has submitted a valid entry form during the Great Clipper Event presentation in the Prizing Period will be eligible to receive one (1) clipper prize (approximate retail value USD $200), subject to verification and the requirements in these Terms and Conditions. The Entrant whose name is drawn will also receive one (1) clipper prize but will not receive more than one prize unit. Limit one (1) prize per person per Quarterly Sweepstakes. Winners must complete an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release (and, for Canadian residents, a skill-testing question) and show legal identification at the time of the prize distribution event in order to receive the prize; failure to complete the required documents will result in voiding/forfeiture of that individual’s prize at Sponsor’s discretion. If the winning Entrant’s Class (as defined above) is no longer in session at the time of the prize award, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, either (i) award prizes directly to verified eligible Entrants from that Class who submitted entry forms during the applicable Prizing Period, up to the prize limit stated herein, or (ii) void the award and conduct a new random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Sponsor’s determination in this regard shall be final and binding.
  • Prize Limits: Clipper tools are valued at up to $200 per unit, with a maximum of 25 clippers awarded per Quarterly Sweepstakes. If the number of eligible Class Recipients exceeds 25, Sponsor may, in its discretion, randomly select up to 25 eligible Class Recipients from that Class to receive the prize. Sponsor will provide fewer than 25 clippers if there are fewer eligible Class Recipients.
  • Pickup Event; No-Show: Prize distribution will occur in person at the school at a date/time specified in the notification email (which may occur during class or at another designated time). If a Class Recipient fails to appear at the designated pickup event or otherwise fails to comply with pickup procedures, that individual’s prize may be voided/forfeited at Sponsor’s discretion, and Sponsor may, but is not required to, select an alternate recipient or decline to award that unit.
  • Odds: The clippers awarded will be chosen in Sponsor’s discretion based on value and availability. The odds of winning a prize depend on the total number of eligible entries received. In order for a Canadian resident to win a prize, the eligible potential winner must first correctly answer a time-limited mathematical skill-testing
