  1. HOW TO PLAY/ENTER:

Beginning May 1, 2023 and continuing each weekday through May 12, 2023, PST (the “Station”) will play a distorted song track (Taylor’s “Twisted Track”).  When the Twisted Track is played, listeners will be directed to go to the free 94.5 PST app, available in the Apple App Store or Android Marketplace, and enter their guess to identify the Twisted Track of the day for their chance to win one (1) of two (2) possible contest prizes.

 

The Twisted Track will air at random, and within the Station’s sole discretion with regard to exact timing, between the hours of 6:00 am and 6:00 pm each weekday, May 1st through May 11th.  On May 12th, the Twisted Track will air at random, and within the Station’s sole discretion with regard to exact timing, between the hours of 6:00 am and 4:59 pm.  The Twisted Track will be aired a minimum of twelve (12) times each weekday.  The Station may, in its sole discretion, choose to play the Twisted Track more than twelve (12) times on any given day.  The Twisted Track will change daily, meaning that a new song track will be chosen at the start of each day.  Station will not repeat any song tracks that have previously been aired during the Contest Period, with the exception of the 12+ Twisted Track segments that are scheduled to play each day during the Contest Period.

 

The Contest Period will be broken down into two entry periods.  The “First Entry Period” will be identified as those entries submitted between May 1st and May 5th.  The “Second Entry Period” will be identified as those entries submitted between May 8th and May 12th.  To constitute a valid entry, all entries must be entered on the free 94.5 PST app by no later than 11:59 p.m. local time on the same day that corresponding Twisted Track was played on air.  On May 12, 2023, all entries much be submitted no later than 4:59 pm.  Valid entries must properly identify the Twisted Track to continue to the Winner Selection process.

 

  1. TERMS OF ENTRY:

No purchase necessary.  Completion of the above steps, coupled with a correct identification of the Twisted Track, will enter you into a random drawing for your chance to win a prize, as defined by Section 5 below.  Listeners may enter once per weekday.  No more than five (5) entries will be accepted per individual, per Entry Period (First or Second); however, each entrant is limited to only one (1) Prize each during the Contest, regardless of how many entries they may make during the First or Second Entry Periods.  Odds of winning depend on the number of entries received.  The use of any agencies or automated software to submit entries will void all entries submitted by that person.  Entry/registration does not guarantee a prize.
