ENTRY METHODS

 

To participate in a Promotion, the Participant who meets the above Eligibility Requirements shall submit an entry (“Entry”) following the instructions and using the Entry Method specified by the Station. Such Entry may include submitting information about the Participant, including but not limited to name, date of birth, physical address, phone number, email address, and/or any additional contact information as may requested (collectively, the “Data”).

 

Some Promotions, as part of the Entry, may require the Participant to provide a Skill Response or UGC. If so, the criteria for answering questions or judging the UGC in selecting a Winner will be provided on air and/or on the Station’s website. If there is a tie for a winning position in a Promotion, judges will reevaluate the tied Entries to determine the Winner.  All terms and conditions for submitting UGC with an Entry can be found below in the “User Generate Content” Section of these Official Rules.

 

Some Promotions may involve nominating third parties by submitting Entries on their behalf without their knowledge (“Nominated Parties”), so they may be eligible to participate in a Promotion.  Because these Entries may contain third party data without the knowledge of the third parties (“Third-Party Data”), Participants will be required to work with the Station to obtain any necessary documents, releases, liability waivers, permissions, additional information, and/or approvals (collectively, any “Releases”) from any Nominated Parties before they can be declared the Winners of any Promotions.  Participants understand and agree that the Nominated Parties, not the Participants, shall receive any Prize in connection with the Promotion unless otherwise noted in the Official Rules.

 

All Entries must be received by 11:59 PM local time on the last day of the Entry Period, unless otherwise specified, to be eligible to win the Prize.  Any Entries received after that time will be void.  Odds of winning depend upon the number of eligible valid Entries received during the Entry Period.

If the Station determines the designated caller does not satisfy the Eligibility Requirements or is otherwise not qualified to participate, Station may select the next consecutive eligible caller as the Winner for that playtime. Participants are required to listen to Station for details on specific times to play. The dates and times for such Promotions may vary and shall be determined solely by the Station.  The Station may or may not choose to air all playtimes due to programming obligations and other factors.

Instead of automatically entering the Participant into the Promotion and/or asking the Participant to join the Text Club, the text from the Station may direct the Participant to the Station’s website, where Participants should follow the on-screen instructions, including entering any Data as requested.  If the Promotion requires UGC, Participants will also be given then opportunity upload the UGC.  After completing the registration process, with the UGC if required, and any Data, the Entry will be qualified for a chance to win.
