The ballot system usually opens twice a year, in January and July. It is open for a 48 hour period and you must email, providing specific information, within this window in order to enter. You will usually find out if you have been successful or unsuccessful in the ballot within 1 – 2 weeks. The majority of places are awarded in the January ballot with remaining places awarded in July.
