The RowAlong Treasure Hunt
Home / Treasure Hunt
To celebrate approaching 30,000 subscribers on YouTube, I’m doing a massive giveaway which includes:
1 x Concept2 Row Erg
1 x 12 month EXR Subscription
1 x 12 month ErgZone Subscription
10 x iPad holders from Lucian Depold
5 x RowAlong T shirts
And I’ll add more if I can!
Watch the video above for full info on how to enter the giveaway.
The Hunt
One of the videos on my YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@rowalong) contains Treasure. A link will pop up at the top of the screen – which will take you to a secret page, where you can fill out your details. This will get you in the running to win the Concept2. Only people who send me the form will be entered into this draw.
HOWEVER!
When you watch a video while you hunt for the Treasure, leave the comment “RowAlong Treasure Hunt” to be entered into the draw to win any of the other prizes.
The Requirements
To be in with a chance to win the Concept2 you need to find the link, visit it and send me the form.
In order to be eligible to win this or ANY prize:
1) You must have subscribed to the channel + clicked the bell notification icon (existing subscribers count).
2) You must have left the comment “RowAlong Treasure Hunt” on ANY of my VIDEOS on YouTube!
I will pick the 5 most recent of those comments from each video, and add them into the draw to win the other prizes. So find a video no one has commented on yet, and add your comment!
If no one finds the treasure, the Concept2 draw will be done from these comment entries.
Multiple Entries
I encourage you to watch and leave the comment on as many videos as you can. Although you can only have one entry in the draw, comments on multiple videos will give you the best chance of being in the top 5 in at least one of them – and making it into the draw. After all, there are almost 900 videos to choose from…
Important Restrictions for the Concept2
This is for people over the age of 18 who are able to accept delivery of a Concept2. There are no age restriction for the other prizes.
If you currently own a C2 Rower, I’m happy to arrange for a BikeErg or SkiErg alternative.
I will do everything I possibly can to get a brand new Concept2 sent to you. Unfortunately however, there are some regions that this will prove impossible.
Legally, sales are strictly prohibited to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Crimea, DNR & LNR regions of Ukraine. And due to the outbreak of war, most places refuse to sell to Russia and Belarus. I’ve also found it near impossible to get anything sent to Palestine/Israel due to the current conflict.
Some countries and regions have import taxes that are almost the same as the cost of the machine, or can’t accept this kind of shipment. But I will work with whoever wins to try to get a new Concept2 to you.
A brand new Concept2 costs £1000 – and unless this competition absolutely skyrockets views on the channel, I can’t afford more than £200 in import fees.
Similar restrictions may also apply for the other prizes, but that’s something to discuss on a case by case basis.
There is no cash alternative to any of the prizes on offer. If it’s impossible, either because of import/sales restrictions or import taxes are too high, then the draw will be re-done, with my apologies for letting you down.
Duration of The Treasure Hunt
The hunt will start on Sunday 8th September and run until the 31st October 2024. Submissions to enter the draw to win the Concept2 will stop being accepted at 23:59 UK Time.
The draw will take place on Saturday 2nd November – and I’ll post a video with the usernames of winners.
Hints
Every now and then, I’ll post a hint on my Instagram and the RowAlong newsletter. So make sure to follow me at https://instagram.com/@rowalong and sign up to the newsletter.
Questions + My right to modify rules
If you have any comments about any of the design of this Treasure Hunt, or questions – please get in touch at info@rowalong.com . I’ve hopefully covered all you need to know, but if I’ve missed something important, let me know and I’ll add it to this page.
I reserve the right to modify the rules as the competition runs to protect the fairness I am aiming for. And if something occurs that is obviously skewing the competition in favour of one individual, I reserve the right to cancel the competition.
Verifying entry Requirements
The form entry is simple enough when it comes to the Concept2 draw. Send me the form, properly filled out, and I’ll know you’ve found the Treasure.
For the “Subscription and comment” requirements, I have a Python Script that I will run across all of my videos to pull out this data and create the ‘pool’ of names.
Once winners have been drawn, I’ll manually check each one.
All data collected will be GDPR compliant, and destroyed at the end of the competition.
