However, please note that the prizes may have to be shared and the Porcelain Management will not be responsible for the distribution of prizes. The prizes are fixed, regardless of the size of the team.
Q: Can Facebook ‘Likes’ accumulated on the team’s wall be counted toward the final Facebook ‘likes’ we generated?
A: No, the Facebook ‘Likes’ counted for judging will only be those accumulated on Porcelain, The Face Spa’s Facebook Fan Page. This is for easier administration.
Q: If we have a YouTube Channel, can we upload the video onto the channel?
A: Yes, you may. However, only views on Porcelain’s YouTube channel will be counted towards judging. If you have a YouTube channel, it would be good for you to show a short teaser or advert and direct them to our channel. This would help to increase the number of views for your video entry.
Q: Is this contest suitable for me if I do not have excellent video editing/animation skills?
A: Why not? You can always compensate the lack of video editing/animation skills with a very creative idea/storyline.

A: Details of the promo code and the promo badge, together with the description, will be emailed to you on a closer date.
