Selection of finalists
8. Finalists will be selected on the basis of the bartender’s presentation (as per their

(“Finalist Criteria”). The 10 best valid entries, as selected by the judges in their sole
discretion, according to the Finalist Criteria (“Finalists”), will receive the opportunity to
compete at the Sydney competition on 22nd October 2008 (or other date as may be
advised by the Promoter). The opportunity to compete at the Sydney competition will
include a subscription to B&C valued at $55, a return economy class airfare from the
winner’s capital city to Sydney for the Finalist and one night’s accommodation at Vibe Hotel.
If a Finalist is from NSW, then the prize does not include airfares and the
airfare component is not redeemable for cash. Spending money, additional meals,
insurance, transport to and from departure point and all other ancillary costs are not
included. Prize must be taken to coincide with the Sydney competition and is subject
to booking and flight availability. The 10 best valid entries selected will also receive a

including their own additional ingredients. Finalists must: (a) make 3 x their original
drink (as specified on their entry); and (b) correctly answer any questions posed by
the judges regarding either their original drink and/or Galliano. Finalists will be given
5 minutes to prepare their bar area and garnishes and then 10 minutes to create the
3 x original drink. Points will be deducted for running overtime at the rate of 1 point
per minute.
10. The Promoter reserves the right to disqualify any Finalist who the Promoter deems,
in their sole discretion, to have not been the original creator of the drink, to have not
prepared the original drink as specified in their entry or to not be competing in a
sportsmanlike manner.
11. All Finalists who successfully compete (ie who are not disqualified) in the Sydney

by 5pm AEST on 13th October, 2008 they will forfeit the opportunity to participate and
the next best entry will be selected in their place. If that next selected entrant does
not claim the prize within 24 hours of phone notification, then they will forfeit the prize
and this process will continue until a finalist is determined.
13. If for any reason a Finalist does not attend the Sydney competition or participate in
the Sydney competition, for any reason whatsoever, at the time stipulated by the
