Who is organizing the competition?
The competition is organized by Düsseldorf Tourismus GmbH (Benrather Straße 9, 40213 Düsseldorf). We are solely responsible for the campaign – Instagram or Meta have nothing to do with it, even though we use their platform. All data you provide us with will be stored securely by us – and not by Instagram.

Important: Each account may only participate once.
Note for private accounts: If you have a private profile, please send us a screenshot of your story or post with the tagged photo via direct message to @visit_duesseldorf. This way, we can still consider your participation.

How will you know if you have won?
After the closing date for entries (August 10, 2025, 11:59 p.m.), we will draw the winners and notify them via DM.

Data protection – what happens to your data?
We need the following information from you:

We only use this data for the competition. Once the promotion has ended, we will delete it unless we are required by law to retain it. We will not pass on your data to third parties.

And what else?
In the event of an internet outage, a storm affecting the event, or any other unforeseen circumstances—from server crashes to lost wheels of fortune—we reserve the right to modify, pause, or, in an emergency, cancel the contest.
Even if things change that we cannot foresee at this point (aka “other things”), we will of course try to remain fair and transparent.
Legal recourse is excluded. Cash payment of prizes is not possible.
