A game of skill is a competition which requires an entrant to apply a level of thought and skill to their entry, and where the winner/s are determined based on qualitative methods rather than chance. As a precondition to enter a game of skill trade promotion entrants must perform a skill-based activity. A game of skill trade promotion does not use a random draw in selecting the winner unlike games of chance, instead typically choosing a winner based on merit by assessing their entry against a set criteria.
In a game of skill there is an application of judgement involved in determining the winner. For example, requiring an entrant to answer a judgeable question or post a photo, and assessing answers/photo on creative merit to determine the winner. This judgement could take the form of a sole judge, a panel of judges, or having the public vote on the entries to determine a winner.
