Official Rules
These are the full rules for the Journey Finder Santorini giveaway. The short version is on the giveaway page, but this is the version that counts.
1. Sponsor
This giveaway is run by SIA Behind, Brivibas iela 432/k2, Riga, Latvia, trading as Journey Finder. Questions go to win@journeyfinder.net.
2. No purchase necessary
Entering is free and always will be. You don't have to buy anything, and buying something doesn't improve your odds. Journey Finder earns money through travel booking links, but none of that is connected to this draw.
3. Who can enter
You have to be 18 or older on the day you enter. The giveaway is void wherever local law restricts or prohibits it, and you're responsible for checking that entering is legal where you live. Anyone involved in running the giveaway, and their immediate family, can't enter.
4. Entry period
Entries opened on July 30, 2026 and close on December 23, 2026 at 23:59 UTC. Anything that arrives after that timestamp doesn't go into the draw, whatever the reason.
5. How to enter
Publish a post about the Journey Finder giveaway on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Threads, Facebook. A post, a story or a reel all count. To be valid, the post has to meet all three of these:
- It contains the giveaway link, journeyfinder.net/win. The full form with https:// and www is equally fine, as is a shortened or redirecting version, as long as it lands on the giveaway page.
- It is about this giveaway, in your own words or using the suggested caption.
- It is public, so it can be checked, and it stays up until the draw on December 24, 2026.
Then fill in the entry form on the giveaway page with your name, email and a direct link to that post.
Each valid post counts as one entry, up to a maximum of 5 entries per person. Entries are tracked by email address, so use the same email each time. The same post link can only be used once, by one person.
Stories disappear after 24 hours, so if you enter with a story, attach a screenshot that shows the link in it. Screenshots are optional for every other kind of post.
6. Entries that don't count
An entry is void if the post does not contain the giveaway link; if the post is private, deleted, or gone by the time it is checked; if the link submitted does not point to a real post; if the post is not about this giveaway; if the same post is submitted more than once; if entries are created with fake or throwaway email addresses; or if automated tools are used to submit entries.
Entries are verified before the winner is confirmed, not at the moment you submit them. So an entry showing up in your confirmation does not guarantee it survives checking. This is why the link matters: a post without it cannot be counted, whatever else it says.
7. The prize
One winner receives a trip to Santorini for two people: return flights for two plus hotel accommodation, booked together with the winner, with a combined approximate retail value of up to $3,000 USD.
Travel dates are agreed with the winner and depend on availability. Travel has to be completed by December 31, 2027. There is no cash alternative and the prize can't be transferred to someone else. Anything not specifically listed is the winner's responsibility, including travel documents, visas, travel insurance, luggage fees, meals and anything spent on the trip. Any tax owed on the prize is the winner's responsibility.
8. How the winner is picked
The draw happens on December 24, 2026. Every valid entry is one ticket, so someone with 5 entries has 5 tickets. One ticket is selected at random from all valid entries. Your odds depend on how many entries there are in total.
9. Telling the winner
The winner is contacted by email, at the address on their entry, within 7 days of the draw. They have 14 days from that email to reply and confirm. If there's no reply in 14 days, or the entry turns out to be invalid, the prize is forfeited and a new ticket is drawn from the remaining valid entries.
Keep an eye on your spam folder. An email that lands in spam still counts as sent.
10. Publicity
The winner's first name and country may be published, but only if they agree to it first. Entering doesn't give anyone permission to use your name, photo or posts for marketing.
11. Your data
Entering means Journey Finder stores your name, email address, the link to your post, any screenshot you upload, and the IP address the entry came from. The IP address is kept only to spot duplicate and automated entries.
That information is used for one thing: running this draw and contacting the winner. It isn't sold, and it isn't added to a marketing list. Everything is deleted once the winner is confirmed, and by March 31, 2027 at the latest.
Under GDPR you can ask to see your data, correct it, or have it deleted before then. Email win@journeyfinder.net and it gets handled. Withdrawing consent before the draw removes your entries from it.
12. Nothing to do with the social platforms
This giveaway isn't sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Meta, TikTok, Google, YouTube, or X. Any questions about it go to Journey Finder, not to them. By entering, you release those platforms from any responsibility connected to this giveaway.
13. Changes and cancellation
If something outside reasonable control makes the giveaway impossible to run fairly, Journey Finder can change these rules or cancel the giveaway. If that happens, it gets announced on this page and the draw is still carried out among valid entries wherever that's possible.
14. Governing law
These rules are governed by the laws of the Republic of Latvia. Entering means you accept these rules in full.
