The NWEC member-owner must be a passenger on the winning flight. The winner may choose one person to accompany them on their flight but that person must also agree to the terms and conditions as stated here. Previous balloon ride winners are not eligible. Maximum of one entry per person will be accepted. Balloon rides are not guaranteed and will be flown weather-permitting. Winners must be available during the evening of Friday, August 4. Launch location and exact time of flight will be determined by NWEC. The length of the flight and the ability to launch will be determined by the balloon pilot. Winners will be contacted using the information provided. Winners grant NWEC permission to use their name, location, and photographic images for promotional purposes.
