Entrants must be at least 18 years old on the day their entry is submitted.

Entrants must be employed by, or under contract with, a DHL Express legal entity ("DHL Express") on the date of entry. Entrants may only advance to the Regional Finals if they are still employed, or under contract, by DHL Express at that time. For members of a group the below exemption applies. Regional Winners must plan to still be so employed or contracted on 31 July 2022 as DHL may wish to follow up with winners post-competition.

Regional Winners may require a passport or visa to attend the Regional Final in their Region.

Entrants must be actively engaged with volunteering/fundraising activities on an ongoing basis for a charitable cause. The entrants’ activities must have taken place within the year preceding the entry (i.e. from 30 September 2020 to 30 September 2021). Activities may have started before this date, but must have continued after it, in an ongoing manner.

A person may not submit more than one entry, whether individually or as part of a group.

All personal details and/or information given in your application, either in this form or otherwise, must be truthful, accurate and in no way misleading.

DHL reserves the right to disqualify you if you have supplied untruthful, inaccurate or misleading personal details and/or information, have failed to abide by the rules, and/or are in breach of the terms hereof.

DHL is completely free to decide whether activities count as charitable causes or not. However certain rules will always apply. They MUST NOT be for profit, fraudulent or involved in illegal activities. They must not harm DHL's reputation, or represent a breach of DHL’s policies or values. 

A cause cannot be an individual person.

An entry cannot glorify the use of alcohol, drugs, weapons or pornography, or support political groups/parties. Nor can an entry discriminate against race, age, sex, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, political orientation or national origin.

If DHL is prevented for any reason from being able to make a donation to the charitable cause chosen by the winner, then another charitable cause may be mutually agreed with the winner.

The express consent of all people appearing in the video must have been obtained by the entrants for the video to be used for the purposes outlined in these T&Cs, prior to its uploading. In case of minors, the express consent has to be obtained from the guardian.
