3. To enter and to be eligible to win, entrant must be a legal resident of Ontario, Canada and be eighteen (18) years of age or older. Employees of the Contest Sponsors, their respective agents, parent, affiliated or related companies, subsidiaries, divisions, prize sponsors, promotional and advertising agencies or of any other entity involved in the development, production, administration, or fulfillment of the Contest, as well as the parents, siblings and children of any such employees and any person domiciled with such employees, are ineligible to enter. Winners of a previous Bell Media Inc. contest within the thirty (30) days preceding each Qualifying Prize Draw (including persons designated by such winners to participate in a prize) and persons domiciled with any such winner are not eligible to enter or to be selected for a prize and may be disqualified.
4. KEYWORD ANNOUNCEMENTS AND CUES TO CALL: During the Contest Period, listen to NEWSTALK 1010 for the announcement (each, an “Announcement”) of a key word (each, a “Keyword”) to be made one (1) time on each weekday of the Contest Period between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET. The Keyword will be different and unique with each Announcement. The Keyword will also be accessible via closed captioning during the on-air broadcast. After an Announcement has been made, listen to NEWSTALK 1010 that same weekday between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. ET for a cue to call telling listeners to call in for a chance to win (each, a “Cue To Call”). When you hear a Cue To Call, call the NEWSTALK 1010 contest line at 416-872-1010 (the “Contest Line”). Broadcast delays may occur, including depending on the means used to listen to the radio (e.g. analog radio vs. online streaming). Contest Sponsors will not be held liable in any way for such delays. Limit of one (1) entry per person per day. In the event that the entrant is outside of the local calling area, standard long distance rates as charged by the entrant’s long distance service provider will apply. The tenth (10th) caller through on the Contest Line following a Cue To Call that can properly identify the Keyword announced between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on that same day will be eligible to win a prize. Potential winner will be announced on-air and may be required to chat on-air. If there is not a clear telephone connection between the NEWSTALK 1010 on-air announcer and a potential winner, such that one or each other cannot hear the other, such potential winner will be disqualified, and the Contest Sponsors will not be liable in any way for such failed connection. Each potential winner will then be required to provide a representative of NEWSTALK 1010 with their name, address and telephone number. In conducting the Contest, NEWSTALK 1010 and its representatives have the full and absolute discretion to disqualify any potential winner who fails to respond on the phone or whose response cannot be heard, and the Contest Sponsors shall have no liability or responsibility to any potential winner so disqualified. The odds of becoming a potential winner will depend on the total number of individuals calling the Contest Line following the applicable Cue To Call, and the callers’ ability to correctly identify the Keyword announced that day.
