The Big Time conducts contests concurrently and simultaneously on several participating radio stations in various states.
1. PRIZE(S) - The prize(s) that may be awarded to the eligible winner(s) are not transferable, redeemable for cash or exchangeable for any other prize. All prizes will be sent to winners unless otherwise stated. Certain prizes are date specific (i.e. concerts, trips) and the winner or winners must be available on the dates specified. If a winner fails to adhere to rules in a dated prize in time to redeem the benefit, the winner forfeits the prize and no other prize will be awarded in its place. If a winner cannot be contacted or is disqualified for any reason, The Big Time reserves the right to determine an alternate winner or not to award that winner’s prize, in its sole discretion.
Prize winners must execute and return the acceptance of rules and regulations form, a W-9, social security number, valid driver's license (where applicable) and any additionally required forms before a prize may be mailed or fulfilled. If a prize is mailed to a winner at their request, the winner understands that The Big Time will mail out prizes via U.S. Postal Service and is not responsible for lost, stolen, or misdirected mail, and that the prize may not be replaced if it is not received by the winner.
Winners agree to accept all blackout dates, space availability requirements, etc. established by The Big Time’s prize partner(s), such as hotels, airlines, trains, ships, etc. Winners agree that acceptance of any trip taken as a prize from The Big Time does so entirely upon their own initiative, risk, and responsibility. If the trip requires traveling outside the United States, the winner, upon winning the prize, must have a valid US passport. If the winner does not have a valid US passport upon winning the prize, the trip may be forfeited. If concerts or other ticketed events have been awarded as a prize and the concert or event is postponed, rained out, canceled, or for other reasons beyond our control does not occur, The Big Time will not be responsible for replacing the prize.
