Contest Rules

General Rules Applicable to all WSTL RADIO contests:

• Unless otherwise excluded by law or by the rules applicable to a particular contest, WSTL RADIO contests are open to all WSTL RADIO listeners who are residents of the Southern New England area and 18 years or older. Employees, agents and immediate family members of New England Christian Media, inc. (parent company of WSTL RADIO), its Partnering agencies, sponsors, affiliates and representatives are not eligible to participate. Immediate family members include spouses, siblings, parents, children, grandparents, and grandchildren whether by current marriage, past marriage, adoption or as in-laws. All contests are void where prohibited by law. No purchase is necessary.
• All contest entries become the property of WSTL RADIO. One entry per entrant/household is permitted per contest unless otherwise specified.  In the case of multiple entries by the same person/household, all entries may be withdrawn and the entrant(s) disqualified.
• WSTL RADIO is not responsible for service outages, connection speeds or other sources of delay in telephone and/or internet systems which may influence or affect the chances of winning a contest. In the event awards based on call-ins (a prize awarded to the "9th caller," etc.) WSTL RADIO reserves the right to disqualify two or more callers who appear to be “tied” and award the prize to the next caller. Callers may not place substantially simultaneous calls on multiple phone lines.
• WSTL RADIO reserves the right to substitute another prize of equal or greater value for the prize originally announced if the original contest prize is or becomes unavailable. WSTL RADIO is not liable if a concert or event with which a prize is associated is canceled due to circumstances beyond WSTL RADIO’s control.  Prizes must be picked up at the WSTL RADIO studio with a valid picture ID within 30 days of winning the prize unless otherwise stated.
• WSTL RADIO reserves the right to disqualify any entrant or winner (whether or not the winner’s identity has been announced) who does not adhere to the rules applicable to the contest in which he or she entered or who gains an unfair advantage through fraud or unsportsmanlike conduct in participating in the contest.
• Each entrant agrees that in the event he/she wins a contest, WSTL RADIO shall have the right, without further compensation, to publicize and/or broadcast his/ her name, voice, likeness, city of residence and the fact that he/she won the contest. Entrants further agree that WSTL RADIO may use such identifying information to publicize its radio station, website and/or other contests. Contest winners agree that they may be contacted by telephone and the call recorded for potential use on air.
• Entrants are responsible for the payment of any and all taxes applicable to prizes and the award of prizes. WSTL RADIO is required to report winnings exceeding $600 per year (in the aggregate) to the Internal Revenue Service and will provide winners falling within this requirement with an IRS Form 1099 after the close of the calendar year in which the prize(s) were won. Winners agree to provide WSTL RADIO with their social security number and such other information as may be required by WSTL RADIO to comply with applicable laws.
• Prizes consisting of CD’s or blocks of CD’s are valued at an approximate retail value of fifteen ($15) per CD. Concert ticket and other prize values are as specified in contest specific rules.
• Entrants agree to release and hold harmless WSTL RADIO and its affiliates, including New England Christian Media, inc. and its officers, agents and employees, from any and all damages, liabilities or claims for injury or damage of any kind that might arise in connection with a contest, a prize, or the award of a prize. WSTL RADIO reserves the right to condition the final award of any prize on the execution of a legally enforceable release of claims and indemnity agreement.
• In the event any contest specific rules conflict with these general rules, the contest specific rules shall control. On occasion, circumstances may require the rules of a contest to be modified. Changes to contest rules will be announced on-air and/or posted on WSTL RADIO’s website. WSTL RADIO reserves the right to interpret and apply all rules applicable to its contests and its interpretation and application shall be final.
• For a list of contest winners send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to WSTL, Attn: Contest Winners, 95 Sagamore Rd Seekonk MA 02771 and include the name of the contest you are inquiring about.
