4. Online Streaming Disclaimer
For contests that require listeners to call in or respond to an on-air cue (e.g., “cue to call” promotions), participants should be aware that listening via online stream, mobile app, or smart speaker may involve a delay compared to over-the-air broadcast.
This delay may impact the listener’s ability to be the correct caller or to participate in time-sensitive contest elements. The Station is not responsible for such delays, and over-the-air broadcast will be considered the official contest signal.
5. Winner Selection and Notification
Winners will be selected based on the contest format (e.g., random drawing, caller number, judged entry). Decisions of LOUD 102.3 are final.
Winners will be notified by phone, email, or direct message using the contact information provided at the time of entry. The Station will attempt to contact selected winners up to three (3) times within the first forty-eight (48) hours following the end of the contest period in order to confirm eligibility and acceptance of the prize.
If a selected winner cannot be contacted, fails to respond, or does not confirm eligibility within this timeframe, the prize may be forfeited, and an alternate winner may be randomly selected from the pool of eligible entries, at the Station’s sole discretion.
6. Prizes
Prizes will be described on-air, online, or through official Station materials. No substitution or transfer of prizes is permitted except at the Station’s discretion. The Station reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value.
Winners must claim their prize within thirty (30) days from the end of the official contest period, unless otherwise specified by the Station. Any prize not claimed within this timeframe will be forfeited.
Unless otherwise specified, prizes must be claimed in person at 131 W. Boardman St., Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Winners should follow any additional instructions provided by LOUD 102.3 regarding prize pickup. Failure to claim a prize during the designated timeframe and hours may result in forfeiture.
In certain cases, the Station may, at its sole discretion, offer to mail or electronically deliver prizes; however, such delivery is not guaranteed. The Station is not responsible for prizes that are lost, delayed, misdirected, or not received due to issues including but not limited to postal errors, incorrect mailing addresses, invalid email addresses, spam filters, or technical malfunctions of any kind.
Forfeited prizes may, at the Station’s sole discretion, be awarded to an alternate winner, which may be selected through a random drawing or other method consistent with the original contest rules. If no alternate winner is selected, the prize may revert to the Station or the prize sponsor, if applicable.
For prizes involving event tickets or time-sensitive experiences, winners acknowledge that such prizes may be subject to specific dates, times, venues, and terms set by the event provider. If a winner is unable to attend the event on the specified date(s), the prize will be forfeited and no substitution or compensation will be provided, unless otherwise determined by the Station.
