2.COMPETITION MECHANIC AND HOW TO WIN

There will be one (1) winner each day throughout the promotion (see 3.0 for entry period).

The presenter will announce to listeners during the show each day when the phone lines are open (see 3.0 for entry period). Listeners will need to call in on the studio number in section one (1).

One caller will be selected at random to come to air and play.

Mechanic – Carol-oke:

• Once the caller comes to air, the presenters will play out a short audio clip of a well-known Christmas song on-air

• There will be a few lyrics missing from the song clip

• The contestant must sing/speak back the correct missing lyrics of the song

• If done correctly, they will win the prize (5. The Prize)

• If the caller that comes to air does not correctly identify the missing lyrics, then they do not become the winner. In this event, there will be no winner that day.

Entrants brought to air for the competition will only be deemed the winner once they are explicitly told they’ve won.

The Hits Radio Network England, Wales & Northern Ireland production team reserves the right to pre-record any part of this competition with contestants before the 'as-live' broadcast.

Calling the studio to enter does not guarantee you will be invited to play the game or win the prize.

All final decisions will rest with the Hits Radio Network England, Wales & Northern Ireland production team
