Five neighbourhoods, One festive season

This Christmas, we are celebrating across five districts with two festive activations for everyone to enjoy. ‘Follow the Star’ is a digital light trail that takes you through the district to discover 13 installations and Christmas on the Green is a two-day market of local makers, food and workshops in the heart of Clerkenwell.

From Thursday 12th November to Saturday 2nd January, you will find 13 light installations illuminating Bloomsbury, Clerkenwell, Farringdon, Holborn and St Giles! The stars and Christmas trees bring seasonal sparkle to our streets and you can discover every one of them on our digital light trail competition! All you need is our CDA Club App to take part.

How it works:

Open the CDA Club App. Download it for free from App Store / Google Play and find the Follow the Star trail.
Explore the map. The digital map shows where each of the 13 installations sits across the district, so you can plan your route or wander at your own pace.
Scan to collect. At each installation, scan the light with your phone to collect a digital artefact. Collect all 13 to complete the trail.
Complete the trail. Your artefacts are kept in the app, so you can see your progress as you go.

The competitions:

Fastest to finish. Complete the whole trail in the quickest time at any point between 12th November and 2nd January and you’ll win a £125.00 voucher for the Zetter hotels.* Your time is measured from your first scan to your last.
First to finish. The first person to collect all 13 artefacts wins a Farmer J Signature Hamper worth £125.00.*

The trail is designed to be enjoyed together. Whether you complete it in an evening or spread it across the season, take in the lights, explore the neighbourhoods and see how many your family can find. Younger explorers can lead the way with a phone in hand.

We’re also hosting a festive themed market in the heart of Clerkenwell. So join us for Christmas on the Green!

Where: Clerkenwell Green
When: 2nd – 3rd December
Time: 12pm to 7pm

In partnership with Islington Council, you will discover festive themed stall with local stall holders, seasonal food, festive workshops, carol singers, mulled wine and more!

The competition is run by Central District Alliance (“CDA”, “we”, “us”), [registered address]. It is open to participants who take part through the CDA Club App.

2. Competition period
The competition opens on 12th November and closes at 17:00pm on 2 January (the “Competition Period”). Scans made outside this period will not count.

3. Who can enter

Entry is open to residents of the UK aged 18 or over.
Under-18s may take part in the trail with the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian, but prizes will be awarded to and collected by the parent or guardian.
Employees of CDA, PIKD and their immediate families cannot win a prize.

4. How to enter
To enter, download the CDA Club App, create an account and use the app to scan each of the 13 Follow the Star light installations to collect all 13 digital artefacts. There is no purchase necessary. Each person may have one account.

5. How the winners are decided
There are two prizes:

First to finish. The first participant to collect all 13 artefacts, based on the time recorded by the app, wins the first prize.
Fastest to finish. The participant who completes the trail in the shortest time over the whole Competition Period wins the second prize. Time is measured from the first scan to the 13th scan, as recorded by the app.

6. The prizes

Prize one: a voucher for The Zetter hotels worth £125.
Prize two: a Farmer J Signature Hamper worth £125. Contents may vary with availability.

The prizes are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash or any other alternative. If a prize becomes unavailable, we may offer a prize of equal or greater value. The Zetter voucher is subject to the venue’s own terms and conditions. Hamper contents may vary and may include allergens, so winners should check the contents on receipt.

7. Winner announcement
The winner of the first prize will be contacted by email within 5 days of completing the trail. The winner of the fastest prize will be contacted within 5 days after the competition closes on 2nd January. Winners must respond within 14 days. If we cannot reach a winner or they do not respond in time, we may award the prize to the next eligible participant.

8. Fair play
Participants must scan each installation in person. We may disqualify anyone who:

uses more than one account;
uses automated tools, spoofed locations or any other method to gain an unfair advantage;
scans from images, screenshots or recordings rather than the installation itself; or
behaves in a way that is unsafe, abusive or damaging to the installations.

9. Safety
Please take care when taking part. Follow road signs and signals, observe local rules, and be considerate of other people and traffic. CDA is not responsible for any injury or loss caused by participants who rush or behave unsafely. Taking part is at your own risk, but nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for anything that cannot be excluded by law.

10. Installations
We may remove, move or turn off installations because of weather, safety, vandalism, technical issues or events beyond our control. If this happens, we may change the competition rules, including the number of installations required, and we’ll tell participants through the app.

11. Personal data
We’ll use participants’ data to run the competition, contact winners and administer the CDA Club App, in line with our Privacy Policy. By entering, winners agree that we may publish their first name and use their photograph for promotional purposes. Winners can decline this publicity and still receive their prize.

12. General
We may change or withdraw the competition, or these terms, if circumstances beyond our control make it necessary, and will let participants know through the app. The competition is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by Apple, Google or any other app store.
