ROCK FM AND CASH FOR KIDS “HAPPY STREET” (the “Competition”)

COMPETITION SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These terms should be read together with our general competition terms at: http://www.bauerlegal.co.uk/radio-competition-terms.html which also apply to this competition.

Rock FM and Cash for Kids are looking to find the happiest street or community within its local area!

If you and your neighbours believe that you live on the happiest street around, then you and one other can enter this Competition on the street’s behalf to prove just how happy your street is!

The five lead names that best demonstrate their happiness will be asked to take part in a fundraising final. The street that raises the most amount of money will win a street party for their entire street to be held on Sunday 21 August 2016!

Please note that when we refer to streets, we mean ‘communities’ as well e.g. villages, caravan parks or small shopping centres.

How to enter

Two entrants (the “Leaders”) will enter the Competition on behalf of their street by submitting 250 words online about why their street is the happiest street along with their fundraising ideas. Remember, we’re not looking for the ‘best’ or the ‘nicest’, we’re looking for the happiest! Entrants must not write about a specific person living on the street unless they have that person’s express consent.

Entrants will ideally reside on a street that is suitable for hosting a street party (i.e. not a main road) and where all residents consent to having a street party. However, this is not necessarily a deal-breaker! We will work to find an alternative area to host the Prize, but if there is no local school, community centre, green field etc. suitable to host the winner’s party, unfortunately your street will not be eligible to take part in the Competition.

The Leaders can enter free of charge on the Rock FM website www.rockfm.co.uk/happystreet (the “Website”). One entry per street will be accepted.

Start date and end date

You can enter the Competition online from 8am on Monday 6 June (“Start Date”) until 5pm on Thursday 23 June (“End Date”)

Any entries received before the Start Date or after the End Date (for whatever reason) will be invalid.

Key Competition dates

All online entries will be reviewed and an initial ten successful streets will be chosen on Friday 24 June.

We will narrow these ten streets down to a final five on Friday 8 July.

The winning street will be announced on Monday 1 August.

When the winner is announced, the decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

The names of the winning Leaders and their hometown will be posted on the Website and on social media after they have been announced live on-air.

Restrictions on entry

The Competition is open to UK residents aged 18 years or over at the date of their entry – this means that the Leaders must be 18 years or over, however under 18’s can, of course, attend the street party.

As stated above, entrants must live on a street suitable to host a street party, or with a contingency facility nearby. The street must be within Rock FM’s broadcast area - please contact the Radio Station if you require further guidance.

Employees (and their family members) of the Promoter (or any company in the same group) or any company involved in the Competition, including the Prize Provider, are excluded from directly entering the Competition and their entries will not be considered. However, if they live on the street that wins, they will not be prevented from attending the street party. The street party will be open to a maximum of 200 people, therefore please bear this in mind when choosing who to involve in the fundraising.

Judging Details

Stage 1 – Online Entry

All valid online entries received by the End Date will be assessed by a panel of judges appointed by the Competition Promoter.

The judging will take place on Friday 24 June, and an initial shortlist of 10 streets will be chosen to participate in the next stage. The panel will pick the 10 happiest entries based on the Leaders’ online entry.

Stage 2 - Interviews

The successful Leaders from the 10 shortlisted streets will be contacted by telephone and email on the afternoon of Friday 1 July, and the Leaders will be invited to the final selection process.

The final selection process will take place on Wednesday 6 July and Thursday 7 July at the radio station, where the Leaders of the streets will be interviewed by a panel, and asked to answer a series of questions.

The Leaders must be able to arrange travel to and from the radio station on these dates (and pay for such travel) and may be required to take part in Competition publicity, including photography.

The Panel will select the finalists based on:

1.   Ability to fundraise for Cash for Kids; 2.   Closeness of the community; 3.   Characters within the team and potential on air value; 4.   Location of the street; and 5.   Weather contingency facility (school/community centre/working men’s club/green field).

Stage 3 – Fundraising Final

The 5 final streets (the “Finalists”) will be notified by 5pm on Friday 8 July. The Finalist Leaders will be invited to the station on Monday 11 July to collect their fundraising packs and equipment to use during the Fundraising Weeks. The Finalists will also be interviewed by the Presenter and the recording and audio from such interviews will be used on the Website.

The Finalist Leaders can then undertake their fundraising activities for Rock FM’s Cash for Kids Charity from Monday 11 July until 12 noon on Sunday 31 July 2016 (the “Fundraising Weeks”).

All Leaders must be able to take part in the Fundraising Weeks and arrange their schedule during that time accordingly. Promoter shall have no responsibility for this, or for any costs incurred by the Leaders in doing so. Fundraising can be held after work and during weekends. It is not expected that the 20 days is taken off work.

The Finalists must raise as much money for Rock FM’s Cash for Kids charity during the Fundraising Weeks as they can. Midday of Sunday 31July 2016 will be the deadline for all funds to be submitted and the funds will be counted and verified by an external adjudicator.

The winning street will be the street that has raised the most money during the Fundraising Weeks.

Leaders’ Obligations

Leaders will be briefed fully when provided with the fundraising packs, equipment and signing the Cash for Kids terms and conditions. The Leaders will act as treasurers throughout the Fundraising Weeks and will be responsible for collecting the money, banking it and paying it into the Everyday Hero Page daily.

The Prize

The Prize will be hosted on the winning street on 21 August 2016, subject to 1) obtaining permission from all residents; and 2) the street passing a safety assessment for suitability. If it is not possible to host the Prize on the winning street, then the Prize will be hosted at a contingency facility. If there is not a suitable contingency facility to host the street party, then unfortunately your street will not be in with a chance of winning the Competition.

A maximum of 200 people can attend the street party – so please bear this in mind when involving participants in the fundraising. It is up to the Leaders who they invite, but please try to avoid disappointing people especially if they have been actively involved in the fundraising.
