The draw
One winner is drawn at random from all eligible entries (currently subscribed) after entries close on October 16, 2026. The draw date will be confirmed before entries close. We contact the winner at the email address they entered with, and if we do not hear back we draw again.
The winner may be asked to answer a skill-testing question and to confirm Surrey residency before the prize is released.
Your email address
Entering records your name, email and postal code so we can run the draw. Entering also adds you to our campaign mailing list once you confirm your email address, which the entry form tells you before you enter, and you can unsubscribe at any time. We do not sell or share the list.
The list is held in Mailchimp. Campaign emails end after October 17, 2026 unless you tell us otherwise.
What this campaign is
Sound the Alarm is issue advocacy about fire service staffing, fire hall coverage and voter turnout. It does not endorse any candidate or party, and entering the giveaway is not a political contribution.
