Live Rent Free For a Year

Opportunity for university students to live RENT FREE free for a year in Virgin Mobile's On The House Competition.

The competition is open to full-time students, aged 18 and over, from 10 participating Australian universities, who will be a continuing full-time for the 2005 academic year.

One Queensland winner will be chosen to win up to $650/week towards rent AND a cleaner for an entire year. The winner chooses the house and can include three friends.

What's involved?

To enter log onto www.onthehouse.com.au

Fill out the form, answer a couple of questions and you're in.

A panel of judges will choose the 3 best entries from each university. Short-listed participants will be contacted by the judges who will then determine the overall QUT finalist. There will be 12 finalists in total (representing the participating universities). Finalists then go into "campaign" mode to secure votes. The finalist with the highest number of votes of all candidates in their State will be the winner!

Finalists will be encouraged to promote and market themselves on and off campus to obtain votes from fellow students and the general public. The objective is for finalists to conduct a unique, creative and high profile campaign for votes.

REGISTRATION CLOSES SUNDAY 5 SEPTEMBER.
