Name the new 'Jobs Online' for your chance to win an iPod!

Are you one of the lucky students who’ll win a great new iPod Nano?

We need your help! Monash University Employment and Career Development is running a competition to name its new, soon-to-be-launched online job-search and career resource system, to replace Jobs Online.

Read on to find out how simple it is to enter... and good luck!


Competition Details

Shortly we’ll be launching a new online system to enhance your job-seeking and career development experience and as a valued user of our current system, Jobs Online, we invite YOU to suggest a name for the new system.

We will shortlist our choice of the top five suggested names and then let the Monash student users of our website decide their favourite via an online poll.

Each of the five shortlisted entrants will win a great new iPod Nano Video! Four will take home the 4GB model and the eventual winner, who nominates the chosen name, will take home the upgraded 8GB model, on us!

When you’re thinking of names, keep in mind that whatever you come up with should have a career focus and convey the idea of job opportunities (we deal with casual, part time, summer vacation/internship and graduate jobs mainly, exclusively for Monash students). We will be using these criteria to select shortlist entries.

And of course, we must be able to identify and contact in case you win a prize, so don’t forget to include your full name, daytime phone number, Monash University student email address and student ID number in your entry.

Hurry! Entries close 12.00noon, Monday 28 April, 2008.


Competition Terms and Conditions

All entries are subject to the full competition Terms and Conditions set out below:

To be eligible, entrants must be current Monash University students who are also registered users of Jobs Online. Only individuals may enter, not teams.

To be valid, entries must (1) comprise original names that, to the best of the entrant's knowledge, are not already registered or in use as an Australian company, business or domain name, otherwise protected under a patent or trademark, or subject to copyright owned by a person other than the entrant; (2) include only one suggestion per entry; (3) include verifiable Monash student ID and contact details, including a Monash University student email address.

Entries open 12.00noon, Monday 21 April, 2008
Entries close 12.00noon, Monday 28 April, 2008

Entries must be submitted online via this link.

Entrants may submit as many names as they like; each must be via a separate online entry.

Following close of entries, the Employment and Career Development team will compile a shortlist of the top five preferred names. Where any of the five shortlisted names is suggested by multiple entrants, one entrant will be drawn at random by the Employment and Career Development team to proceed to the published shortlist. These entrants will be notified.

The top five shortlisted names will then be published on the Employment and Career Development website between 12.00noon Wednesday 30 April, 2008 and 12.00noon Wednesday 7 May, 2008, where Monash University students will have the opportunity to nominate their favourite name via a poll. Entrants, including shortlisted entrants, may nominate in the online poll. The poll will only allow one nomination per computer.

Each of the five entrants whose suggested name proceeds to the published shortlist will, after the eventual winning name is chosen, be awarded an iPod Nano Video, with the overall winner receiving the 8GB model (x1) and the four remaining shortlist winners receiving 4GB models (x1 each). If two or more entries from a single student proceed to the published shortlist, that student will only be entitled to one iPod Nano prize (which may or may not be the 8GB grand prize), irrespective of how many of their entries appear in the published shortlist.

Polling will close at 12.00noon, Wednesday 7 May, 2008 and nominations will then be tallied by the Employment and Career Development team, to determine the most popular name by student choice.

The winning entrant, who came up with the most popular name, along with the four remaining shortlisted entrants, will be notified and arrangements made for them to collect their prizes. In order to collect prizes, Employment and Career Development must be able to verify their Monash student ID credentials and in addition, the overall winner, to collect their prize, will be required to assign ownership of the winning name to Monash University, via a Deed of Assignment.

The names of the shortlist and grand prize winners will later be announced on the Employment and Career Development website.

All decisions made by the Employment and Career Development team in relation to preferential shortlist selections, random draws, tallying of poll results and the awarding of prizes are final.
