Win on 5 Words, 5 Grand with Wickes!

TERMS AND CONDITIONS for “DAVE BERRY’S FIVE WORDS FIVE GRAND WITH WICKES” (the “Competition”).

These terms and conditions (the “Specific Terms”) for the Competition should be read alongside our general competition terms and conditions at: http://www.bauerlegal.co.uk/radio-competition-terms.html (the “General Terms”) which will also apply to this Competition. Where there is any conflict between these Specific Terms and the General Terms, the Specific Terms shall prevail.

1.ENTRY ROUTES AND COSTS Entries are restricted to one per person.

Entry to the Competition is available by calling The Absolute Radio Studio on 0330 123 1215

Competition entry is free however, calls from landlines will be charged at the national rate. Calls from a mobile may cost considerably more.

2.COMPETITION MECHANIC AND HOW TO WIN There may be up to one (1) winners of this Competition. All valid entries who correctly match all five (5) words correctly on air (see 1.Entry Routes and costs) will be the winner.

The competition is an on-air word association game (the “Game”) and will work in the following way:

• After a cue to call, telephone lines will open for listeners who wish to take part in the competition (See Section 01 ENTRY ROUTES AND COSTS). One caller (“the Entrant”) will be chosen at random from electronic draw via the telephone switchboard and will be brought to air to participate in the Game.

• One member of the Absolute Radio on-air team (the “AR Player”) will play the game with the Entrant while another will host (the “Host”) the Game.

• At the start of the game, the AR Player that the Entrant will play against, will enter a soundproof booth, outside of the studio, so they will not hear any of the conversation between the Host and the Entrant.

• The Entrant will be asked by the Host to give a one-word response to each of the five words, which are presented to them. After the Entrant has given their responses, the AR Player who was in the soundproof booth, will return to the studio and the Host will ask them to respond to the same five random words presented in the word association game.

• If the AR Player states the same five words as the Entrant in response to the five words presented to them, then the Entrant will win the Prize as defined in these terms in section 5.

• If one or more words between the AR Player’s answers and the Entrant’s answers do not match, the Entrant will not win anything and the game will continue each work day during the competition entry period, see section 3.Entry Period.

• All of the words for the word association game will be chosen by a member of the Absolute Radio production team, with in-play team members having no prior knowledge of the words chosen. The AR Player will have no knowledge of what has been said and will be provided with separate headphones to eliminate any chance of them hearing the on-air output.

• The Entrant will only be deemed a winner, upon being selected and told by the Host and the Absolute Radio production team that they are a winner.

The studio number will be given on air and can also be found above and below in section 1.

The show and game may be hosted by different presenters during the competition period due to annual leave commitments or illness.
