“Z95.3 Radio Contests”

Contest Rules and Regulations for General On Air & Online Contests
These contest rules and regulations are applicable to contests brought to you by Z95.3 Radio which are administered live on-air or online on its radio station unless there are specific contest rules for a particular contest (the “Contest”). Please note that certain contests promoted on Z95.3 may be brought to you in conjunction with another sponsor or by a sponsor other than Z95.3.

1. CONTEST PERIOD: Z95.3 runs many live on-air Contests throughout the year. For these Contests, the Contest Period, duration and timing will be identified by the on-air host at the time of the Contest.
2. ELIGIBILITY: A Contest is open to all legal residents of Canada, within the listening range of a radio station who are at least eighteen (18) years of age or older as of the first day of the Contest Period unless otherwise noted by the on air host. Notwithstanding the above, the Contest is not open to individuals associated with the Contest, including the employees, agents or representatives of Z95.3 (including its respective divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates and advertising or promotional agencies) and suppliers providing prizes or other materials or services in connection with this Contest (collectively, the “Excluded Individuals”). This Contest is also not open to the immediate family members of the Excluded Individuals, and all other persons with whom the Excluded Individuals reside, and previous prize winners (including anyone from winner’s household) who have won a prize in the preceding thirty (30) day period prior to the commencement of another Contest on the same radio station.
   In contests where prizing is supplied by BCLC, contestants must be at least 19 years old.

3. HOW TO ENTER: To enter for a chance to win a Contest, follow the instructions given by the on-air host to find out how to enter and win a prize while listening to Z95.3 Radio. You will be required to call in to the radio station running that particular contest at the time and follow the instructions of the on-air host or a Z95.3 Radio employee or representative that answers the phone. There are many types of Contests and ways to enter which include one of the following:

   a) listening and identifying a song;
   b) calling in a radio station to identify your name followed by a random draw to select a winner;
   c) calling in to win at the time specified by the on-air host or as the 9th or 10th caller or as specified by the on-air host;
   d) trivia questions;
   e) checking the radio station websites for the song of the day and then calling in when you hear that song

In order to be declared a winner by the Contest judges, a potential winner must: (i) be in compliance with these Contest rules; (ii) complete, sign and return a form declaration and release prepared by Z95.3 Radio before being declared a winner and before a prize will be released; and (iii) correctly answer, without mechanical aid or assistance, a mathematical time-limited skill testing question set out in the Z95.3 Radio form declaration and release.

If a potential or declared winner is not in compliance with these Contest rules, the Contest judges reserve the right to disqualify such entrant from the Contest and select an alternative winner. Odds of winning depend on the number of other eligible entries received for a particular Contest and any criteria mentioned by the on-air host or by a Z95.3 Radio employee.

4. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY: No purchase is required to enter a Z95.3 Radio Contest.
5. PRIZES: There are various prizes available to be won which will be identified by the on-air host at the time of the Contest. The prize may include one of the following: movie passes, CD’s, DVD’s, concert tickets, theme park or event passes (such as for the Cloverdale Rodeo, PNE etc.), restaurant gift certificates, gift certificates for certain retail stores and gift baskets. Only one prize per household. The approximate retail value of a prize can vary and is available upon request at the time of the particular contest. If you are a declared winner, you must pick up your prize at the radio station that administered the Contest. Prizes not claimed within a period of 90 days from the date of winning will be forfeited. In the case of a forfeited prize, or concert/show cancellation, no replacement prize or other compensation will be issued. Potential winners will be required to furnish proof of identification such as a driver’s license or social security numbers.
   Concert tickets or movie passes must be picked up no later than one (1) day prior to the show date.
6. PUBLICITY: By entering a Contest, you consent to Z95.3 Radio’s use of your name, city of residence, photograph, voice, statement and image for any publicity purposes.
