The Challenge is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Instagram or Meta Platforms, Inc. Any reference to Instagram is solely to identify the platform on which the Challenge takes place.

The following persons are excluded from participation:

• Employees of Fahrengold GmbH and their immediate family members

Participation is free of charge and not tied to the purchase of any Fahrengold product or service. No purchase necessary to enter or win.

3. Entry Period

Entries must be submitted between 1 May 2026 and 8 May 2026, 23:59 CEST.

Entries received after this deadline will not be considered. The Organizer is not responsible for entries that fail to upload, are delayed by Instagram, or are otherwise not received by the closing time.

4. How to Enter

To submit a valid entry, participants must complete all of the following steps before the entry deadline:

1. Post a photo or video featuring a Fahrengold product on their public Instagram account. Acceptable post formats: feed posts and reels. Stories do not qualify, as they are not permanent.
2. Tag @fahrengold_official in the post.
3. Follow @fahrengold_official on Instagram and remain a follower until winners are announced.

Multiple entries per person are permitted. Each qualifying post counts as one separate entry.

The participant's Instagram account must be set to public throughout the entry period and the judging period to allow the Organizer to view and verify the post.

5. Judging & Selection

A jury composed of members of the Fahrengold team will select three winners based on overall quality of the post, taking into account:

• Creativity and originality
• Composition and visual quality
• Production value (lighting, framing, editing)
• How effectively the Fahrengold product is showcased

The decision of the jury is final. Legal recourse is excluded ("Der Rechtsweg ist ausgeschlossen").

6. Prizes

The following prizes will be awarded:

• 1st Place: Amazon voucher worth €500
• 2nd Place: Amazon voucher worth €200
• 3rd Place: Amazon voucher worth €100

Prizes are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash or any other goods. Vouchers will be delivered electronically (by email or Instagram direct message) to the winner.

The Organizer reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the original prize becomes unavailable for reasons outside its control.

7. Winner Notification

Winners will be announced no later than 15 May 2026 via direct message from @fahrengold_official on Instagram. Winners may also be announced publicly on Fahrengold's Instagram channel and on www.fahrengold.com.

If a winner does not respond to the notification within 7 calendar days, the prize is forfeited and the Organizer may select an alternative winner from the remaining entries.

The Organizer is not liable for failed delivery of prize notifications due to incorrect, blocked, or inactive Instagram accounts on the winner's side.
