Radio Forth 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.

Radio Forth 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 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 be required to identify a venue to host the Prize, if there is no local school, community centre, town hall 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 Radio Forth website www.forth1.com/happystreet (the “Website”). One entry per street will be accepted.

Start date and end date

You can enter the Competition online from 9.00 6 June (“Start Date”) until [5pm on Thursday 23 June] (“End Date”)

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).

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 Radio Forth’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 Radio Forth’s Cash for Kids charity during the Fundraising Weeks as they can. Funds are to be submitted [between 3pm and 5pm on Sunday 31st August] 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.

The Prize

The Prize will be hosted on 21 August 2016, at a suitable venue agreed by all participants partaking in fundraising. If your street fails to identify a suitable venue to host the party for your street then unfortunately your street will not be in with a chance of winning the Competition.
