With our Avira Advent calendar raffle, we sweeten your winter time. Take part in our daily raffles and win all the cool Avira stuff you ever wanted (or not – depending on your wishes. 😉 )!
How do the Advent calendar raffles work?
From December 1st until December 24th we will publish an Advent calendar post on our Facebook page daily. There you will be able to see our daily question which you will have to answer in order to participate.
What can you win?
We have cool stuff prepared for you! Among the prices are Avira license keys for Avira Antivirus Pro, Avira Phantom VPN Pro, Avira System Speedup Pro, and Avira Software Updater Pro – each valid for one year and one device. Additionally, we’ll raffle 1-year license keys (valid for 5 devices) for Avira Prime and merchandise packages including branded cups, mouse pads, umbrellas, and shirts!
How can you win?
Send us an email to contest@avira.com in time, answer the daily question, and if required (just for the merchandise packages) don’t forget to add your postal address and your phone number. In case you’ve won this ensures that we are able to send you the prize(s). Why the phone number you might ask? Well, depending on the shipping company some of them require to have a phone number of the recipient and therefore we do need this information, too. Please note: Your data will just be used for shipping the prizes only and will be deleted after this event.
Where do you find the terms and conditions?
Any raffle needs to have rules to specify things and so does ours. Find all the terms and conditions in our separate blog article.
The terms and conditions in short
You’re at least 18 years old, you sent your email in time, you answered the question, and if required you added your complete postal address and phone number. For all the other and way more specific rules you really need to read our terms and conditions.
How can you find out if you won?
The winners will be contacted after 14 days latest. They will also be added to this blog article by name, with their answer to our question, and the prize they won.
As you can see the pre-Christmas Advent season is a perfect time to stay cool – if it weren’t for the pre-Christmas stress! But we’re sure you know: Real pros purchase their gifts in the morning of December 24th – and this year it’s a Sunday! 😉
Have fun, good luck, and enjoy the raffle!
