To enter online, entrants must first opt-in to a participating Station’s newsletter at the URL listed in Exhibit A no later than 10:59PM ET (7:59PM PT) on October 6th, 2024. Users who have opted into a participating Station’s newsletter will receive at least one (1) email with a link to the Promotion online entry form. Stations may send multiple newsletters during the Promotion Period in their sole discretion. Entrants must follow the links and instructions to enter the Promotion and complete and submit the online entry form beginning on October 1st, 2024, at 12:00AM Eastern Time (“ET”) (September 30, 2024, at 9:00 PM Pacific Time (“PT”)), and end on October 6th, 2024, at 11:59 pm ET (8:59 PM PT) (“Online Entry Period”). Online entrants are subject to all notices posted online including but not limited to the Station's Privacy Policy.

Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address. Entries submitted may not be acknowledged or returned. Proof of submission of an entry shall not be deemed proof of receipt by the Promotion administrator. Opting into a participating Station’s newsletter alone is not sufficient to gain entry into the Promotion.

Entrants must complete and submit the online entry form to gain entry into the Promotion.

Entrants who subscribe to multiple participating Stations’ newsletters may still only enter once in the Promotion. Subscribing to multiple participating Stations’ newsletters does not increase an entrant’s chance of winning.

Entrants are not permitted to use multiple telephone numbers or email addresses. Additional entries will be disqualified by the Promotion Entities solely at their discretion.  Each eligible entry submitted will automatically be included in the random drawing.  For this Promotion only, restrictions that would prevent a listener from winning if he/she had won another recent Beasley Media station contest or promotion will not apply.  Use of any device to automate entry is prohibited.  Proof of submission of an entry shall not be deemed proof of receipt by Beasley Media.  Beasley Media’s computer is the official time keeping device for the Promotion.  Any attempt by any Contestant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different identities, registrations or any other methods will void that Contestant’s entries, and that Contestant may be disqualified.

6. PRIZE:

Up to ten (10) prizes will be awarded. Each prize consists of a pair of JBL Vibe Beam - True Wireless JBL Deep Bass Sound Earbuds. The approximate Retail Value of the prize is $30. Prizes are not refundable or transferable and may not be substituted or exchanged for cash or credit at any time, nor will they be replaced if lost or stolen.
