01 Eligibility Can I enter? You’ve purchased a Rake Mate (during the contest period or earlier). You can provide your Rake Mate order number, a photo, and your location information. Each order number can be used for one entry in the contest. Your photo should show you using your Rake Mate in an interesting or unique environment – think travel adventures, famous landmarks, scenic viewpoints, or a “world-inspired” corner of your yard.
02 Submission How do I submit my photo? Enter using the contest form on this page. You’ll be asked for: Your name and email address. Your Rake Mate order number and date of purchase. Your photo upload, a short caption, and your location (city & country). Photo guidelines: high resolution, taken outdoors, with your Rake Mate clearly visible in the shot. Optional bonus: share your photo on social media using #RakeMateWorldTour and tag us so we can see and share your entry.
03 Voting phase How does voting work? Once the submission window closes, we’ll publish all eligible photos in an online gallery. Friends, family, and fans can visit the gallery and vote for their favorite entry. To keep things fair, voting is limited to one vote per email/IP address. Voting stays open until the posted closing date, so you’ll have time to share your entry and ask for support. In some cases, social media engagement (likes and shares) may also be taken into account along with website votes.
04 Winner selection How are winners chosen? The main winner is the entry that receives the highest number of valid votes. We may also name an “Editor’s Pick” – a favorite chosen by our team to highlight creativity, storytelling, or a standout location, even if it isn’t the most-voted entry. If we see unusual or suspicious voting activity, we may review and adjust votes to keep the contest fair for everyone.
05 Prizes What can I win? Grand Prize: a “Trip around the world”–style travel experience, usually provided as a travel voucher or package so you can build your own multi-stop itinerary. The exact budget, destinations, and dates will be explained in the Official Rules. Runner-up prizes (if offered): could include gift cards, a free Rake Mate for next season, product bundles, or travel-inspired accessories.
