The Submission must be sent from the email account associated with the participant’s Airbnb account to be verified and reviewed. Each participant can only participate once and you represent that you are more than 18 years old. Airbnb is not responsible for computer or network problems, problems with servers, problems with email accounts or the failure to receive any Submission for any reason whatsoever. By entering the Contest, participants agree, on their behalf and if applicable any guest that as a winner they are permitted to share the prize with (who must be a registered Airbnb user), that they may be contacted by Airbnb in relation to the Contest and agree to take part in any publicity that occurs as a result of the Contest and grant Airbnb and their Partner and their agents the right to use their name and/or image and/or town/country of residence.

Eligibility. The Contest is not open to residents from: Crimea Region of Ukraine, North Korea, Syria, Iran, Sudan, any country subject to embargo by the United States, or the Province of Quebec, or any jurisdiction where the Contest would be prohibited or restricted by law. This means that you are not allowed to participate if you reside in one of these jurisdictions. The Contest is for residents of all other countries of the world and by entering participants agree that the individual winners will be selected from all entries received from these countries. Directors, officers, employees, independent contractors and agents of Partner and Airbnb, or their subsidiaries or affiliates, and the members of their immediate families or households, are not eligible.

Before entering into the Contest, participants shall take into account that they will be sleeping in a bedroom chamber located within a shark tank. To access the bedroom they will need to be physically capable of climbing a ladder. The bedroom chamber contains one double bed which participants must be willing to share with their guest. For safety reasons, due to the limited weight capacity of the bedroom, the maximum weight of the winner and their guest must not exceed 190 kgs or 418 lbs. Participants and their guests agree to be weighed prior to entering the bedroom chamber and if their combined weight exceeds 190 kgs or 418 lbs, they will not be allowed to enter the bedroom chamber and will forfeit the prize.

The participants represent that they and their guest are fully able to receive, use and enjoy the prize of this Contest, in view of the above restrictions, and that they do not suffer from any health issue which may make Night at the Shark Aquarium unsuitable for them. In addition, the participants acknowledge and agree that, before awarding the prize to the winner, Airbnb may require the winner and his/her guest to provide a medical certificate based on a medical examination to confirm their ability to spend one night at the Paris Shark Aquarium.

Winner Selection. Three participants will be selected from the Submissions and will be nominated winners and best story writers of the Contest. The winners will be chosen entirely on merit, based on the following criteria applied by a panel of judges:

Originality and creativity of the submitted story. Does it surprise and delight us?
Spirit of the submission. How does your submission answer the question about why you belong with the sharks for a night?

The panel of judges will be comprised of members of the marketing teams of Airbnb and/or other authorized personnel or consultants chosen by Airbnb, and one independent judge. If substantially similar Submissions are submitted by different entrants, judges will select only the best version of that idea, as determined by the judges in their sole discretion.

Prohibited Content. Submissions/content must be the original work of the participant and not have been previously published, or entered in any other competition, and must not violate the rights of any other party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights or rights of privacy, publicity or other moral rights.

Miscellaneous. The Contest is void where prohibited. If any provision or part-provision of these Official Rules is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of these Official Rules. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Sponsor may suspend, modify or terminate the Contest if they believe, in their sole discretion, that malfunction, error, disruption or damage is impairing or will impair the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Contest, in which case the prizes will be awarded among the eligible entries received that were unaffected by the problem, if possible. With reference to the Italian participants please note that this Contest does not constitute a “Manifestazione a Premio” under the provisions of D.P.R. four thirty/two thousand and one because winners are selected and prizes are assigned to them on the basis of their personal writing talent and consequently the exception described under Article 6, par. 1, letter a) of the above mentioned decree shall apply.
