Entry Method: During the Promotional Period, you may enter the Promotion in
one of the following ways (entry methods may vary by Participating Station or
Sponsor):
• Listen to the Participating Station at the time(s) specified by the
Participating Station for a keyword to be announced. Then, visit the
Participating Station’s website, and follow the instructions to enter by
submitting the keyword, or
• Visit the social media account(s) of a Participating Station or Sponsor and
look for a post announcing the keyword. Then, visit the website of the
Participating Station or Sponsor and follow the instructions to enter by
submitting the keyword.
• Keywords will be posted and/or broadcast up to five times per day.
• Limit five (5) unique keyword entries per person per day. Keywords must
be submitted on the same day that the keyword announcement or post is
made.
• You will be able to enter each keyword once for up to one hour following
the exact moment that the Contest Keyword round goes live. For example, if
a Contest Keyword goes live at 10am, that Contest Keyword will be live and
enterable until 10:59:59am. The Sponsor may choose to start another
Contest Keyword round within the hour that follows the original Contest
Keyword round. If this situation occurs, the original Contest Keyword round
will end and the subsequent Contest Keyword round will begin.
• Entrants must provide truthful information when entering the Promotion; the
Promotion Entities may reject and delete any entry found to be false or
fraudulent, as determined by the Promotion Entities.
Entrants must submit all information required on the entry form, which may
include first and last name, telephone number, email address, home address, and/or
date of birth. Entries will be deemed made by the authorized account holder of the
email address submitted at the time of entry. The authorized account holder is the
natural person who is assigned to the email address by an Internet access provider,
online service provider or other organization that is responsible for assigning the
email address or the domain associated with the submitted email address. Multiple
entrants are not permitted to share the same email address. Entries submitted will
not be acknowledged or returned. Use of any device to automate entry is
prohibited. Proof of submission of an entry shall not be deemed proof of receipt.
If you are listening to a Participating Station via internet streaming or smartphone
app, you are eligible to participate in the Promotion. However, due to streaming
delays, you may hear a keyword belatedly and the window to submit the keyword
for a chance to win may be shortened or have already closed. To avoid such
delays, listen to the Participating Station over the air on the radio.
In conjunction with this national Promotion, a Participating Station or Sponsor
may be conducting its own contest or sweepstakes for a chance to win a local
prize. For more information and official rules, visit the website of the Participating
Station or Sponsor. Audience is not responsible for the administration of any such
local contest/sweepstakes, including without limitation procuring and awarding a
local prize.
