ARTICLE 6: DETERMINATION AND ANNOUNCEMENT OF WINNERS
In total there will be twenty-four (24) winners.

- The Participant must have answered the knowledge question correctly and have answered the tie-breaker question correctly.
- The Participant has purchased electrical parts via the webshop MyTotalSource (EMEA/APAC) or IRMN (Americas) or by telephone via the Organiser's sales service and this for at least the Aggregate Value over the time period of the Electrical Contest (when applicable, over four different product categories)
- If no one answered the tie-breaker question correctly, the twenty-four (24) (or remaining) winners will be the Participants who answered the knowledge question correctly and whose answer to the tie-breaker question is closest to the correct answer.
The winner will in all events be appointed taking into consideration the number of different product categories of which electrical parts were purchased; hence the number of chances to win a prize and the category to win a prize in. (see article 3)
Mechanism of appointment of the winners: first appointment of the two winners of a category 1 prize and subsequently appointment of the winners of a category 2 prize.

The winners will be contacted personally by the Organiser (via e-mail or telephone) no later than the 18th of October 2021 in order to organize the handover of the prize.
