The competition begins on May 22^nd 2025, and closes on May 28^th 2025, at 12:00pm (CEST). 

  

§2 – Participation 

Participation in the competition is only possible after the participant accepts these conditions of participation. By participating in the competition, the participant accepts these conditions of participation as well as the general conditions of participation, which also apply. 

Sony Music reserves the right to exclude multiple participations (under several names, accounts or email addresses) or in this respect conspicuous submissions or rather mass submissions.  

Persons, who (try to) get an advantage for themselves using unauthorized aids or technical manipulations are also excluded. Consequently, prizes may subsequently be revoked and reclaimed. 

  

§3 – Eligibility 

Only natural persons who are at least 18 years old at the time of participation with their permanent residence in Germany, Switzerland or Austria, who unlock the contest form by inputting the four correct puzzle passwords in the puzzle pages are eligible. 

A participant’s entry will be counted only once – if a participant enters via both puzzle pages, the first entry will be counted, and any additional entries will be disregarded. Each participant may only take part providing their truthful name and complete and truthful information about the information requested. 

  

§4 – Procedure 

Eligible persons can enter the competition only via the contest form provided after they have successfully entered the four correct passwords for either of the puzzle pages. The passwords of the two puzzle pages differ. To participate eligible persons must unlock the contest form and enter the requested information to process their entry. The entry is only complete and valid after submission of all mandatorily requested information and acceptance of all mandatory checkboxes and terms. 

The winners will be drawn at random and contacted by Sony Music via email within a maximum of 2 (two) days after the end of the competition. The content of the email will be all the information required to process the prize. Sony Music assumes no liability if, for reasons for which it is not responsible, the notification of the prize is lost during electronic transmission and/or does not reach the winner. If the winner does not respond within 1 (one) day and accepts the prize in writing, the winner loses all rights to the prize. A win that is not confirmed will not be awarded. 

  

§5 – Prizes 

There will be a total of four winners drawn. The prizes will be assigned at random, and the winners have no choice over which prize they will be awarded. The prize is neither transferable, payable nor amendable or changeable. If the prize cannot be made available for whatever reason, Sony Music reserves the right to award a substitute prize of equal value.  

The prizes are defined as the following: 

The two Rock im Park prizes are randomly split between the two puzzle pages. One participant from “thehousemustendure.de” will win one of the Rock im Park prizes, another participant from “thecyclemustend.de” the other. The prizes are assigned to the pages at random. 

Any additional costs for e.g. shipping, taxes or customs fees or transport to/from Rock im Park or any other costs that might be incurred by the winner are not included in the prize and must be paid by the winner.
