You are not eligible to participate or submit an Entry if you are an employee, officer, director, representative or agent (or someone with whom any such person is domiciled, whether related or not) of Maple Leaf Foods Inc., (the “Sponsor”), or of any of its divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, prize suppliers, advertising/promotion agencies or any other individual(s), entity or entities involved in the development, production, implementation, administration or fulfillment of this Contest (collectively, the “Contest Parties”). Groups, clubs, organizations, businesses and commercial/non-commercial entities cannot participate. The information you provide will be used for the administration of this Contest and in accordance with the Sponsor’s privacy policy (see Rule 23). In these Rules, where the context requires or permits, the term “Sponsor” includes a representative or agent of the Sponsor. In these Rules, a person who is eligible to submit an Entry is called an “entrant” or “eligible entrant”. See Rule 5 for the definition of an “Entry”.
- KEY DATES: For the purpose of these Rules, the Contest begins on October 2, 2026 at 12:00:01 A.M. Eastern Time (“ET”) and ends on October 30, 2026 at 11:59:59 P.M. ET (the “Contest Period”).
- HOW TO ENTER: During the Contest Period, visit https://fantinomondello.ca/en/promotions/ (the “Contest Website”) and follow the on-screen instructions to: (1) provide your email address, in order to receive a verification code from the Sponsor, via return email (NOTE: Please be sure to regularly check your junk mail/spam folders), which you may then use to complete your entry; (2) once you have received the verification code from the Sponsor, complete and submit the Contest Registration Form, including providing your first name, last name, mailing address (including province/territory and postal code) and daytime telephone number; and (3) once the Contest Registration Form has been completed, following the prompts on the Contest Website, upload an original and unique photograph (in compliance with the Entry Submission requirements stipulated in Rule 7 below) depicting you (the eligible entrant) somewhere in Italy or otherwise enjoying something that makes you think of Italy (a “Qualifying Photo”). The eligible entrant’s (your) face must be visible in the Qualifying Photo and the Qualifying Photo must feature something that is typically associated with Italy (by way of non-exhaustive examples only, such as an Italian cuisine (e.g. gelato, pizza or pasta), an Italian landmark or landscape). Your Qualifying Photo must be in the flowing formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG or PDF, to a maximum file size of 20MB. Provided that the Qualifying Photo is in compliance with these Rules (including the Entry Submission Requirements in Rule 7 below), the content of the Entry Post will not be taken into account in the winner selection process, which will be done by random draw (see Rule 10 below). For purposes of these Rules, a completed Contest Registration Form and associated Qualifying Photo are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as an “Entry”. For greater certainty, to be eligible for Contest entry, each Qualifying Photo must be unique – i.e. the same Qualifying Photo may not be resubmitted by the same entrant or by any other entrant. Once the Reviewer (as defined below) has reviewed the eligible entrant’s Qualifying Photo for compliance with these rules (allow approximately 48 hours for this process), that eligible entrant will receive an email from the Sponsor confirming whether or not the Entry has been initially accepted for entry into the Contest, subject to these Rules. Subject to the limitation set forth in Rule 6 below and the terms and conditions of these Rules, each accepted Entry will be credited with one (1) entry into the Contest Draw (see Rule 10 below). Subject to the limitation set forth in Rule 6 below, once an eligible entrant has completed the Contest Registration Form, if that eligible entrant returns to the Contest Website to submit an additional Qualifying Photo to obtain an additional entry into the Contest Draw, it will not be necessary for that entrant to re-complete the Contest Registration Form.
