1. The “Carlton-Familiprix Contest 2022” contest (the “Contest”) is being held by Familiprix Inc. (the "Organizer").

The Contest takes place in Familiprix locations from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 at 9:00 p.m.

The Contest features 12 prizes, drawn at a rate of one per month. The monthly prize to be won is 50,000 Familiplus points (a $500 value) that will be deposited onto the winner's Familiplus membership card.

2. To enter, the participant must be a member in good standing of the Familiplus program and must carry out at least one eligible transaction during the contest period (1st day of the month to the last day of the month) in one of the participating Familiprix locations. Each eligible transaction gives a new entry into the monthly draw. A qualifying transaction consists of the purchase of a Carlton Cards or Papyrus brand greeting card. To enter, the participant must present their Familiplus membership card when carrying out an eligible product transaction.

3. To participate in the contest without making an eligible transaction, the participant must: 

a. Register for the Familiplus Program for free at a participating location or on the My Familiplus mobile application.
