(updated April 2026)
A DIVISION OF PATTISON MEDIA LTD. (“PATTISON”)
GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR ON-AIR CONTESTS

 

Application
These rules and regulations (the “Rules”) shall apply to all on-air contests (the "Contest") unless stipulated otherwise, and where alternate rules and regulations are made available to the public. If there are any discrepancies between these Rules and regulations and any other rules and regulations posted for any particular Contest (the "Alternate Rules"), such discrepancy shall be resolved in favour of the Alternate Rules.

 

Eligibility
Unless otherwise stated in the “Alternate Rules” for a contest, contests are only open to legal residents of British Columbia, Canada, and who have reached the age of majority. No person who is employed by the Pattison or its affiliate companies, and no family member of such employee shall be entitled to enter the Contest.

In certain cases, minors under the age of majority will be permitted to enter the Contest and be eligible to win the prize. In no case, however will a minor be declared a winner without the prior written consent and release of liability of the minor’s parent or legal guardian. Entrants will not be eligible for additional contests with CHWK-FM until 30 days after being awarded a Contest prize.

Only ONE member of a household will be eligible to qualify or win in any single Contest.

If, after comparison with our records CHWK-FM finds that a winner has won more than one prize from the station within 30 days of each other, or has been untruthful in their communications with the radio station, CHWK-FM reserves the right to disqualify the winner from any prize above and beyond the first and potentially any future prizes. Exception can be made to the 30 day rule in cases where a major contest (vacations, large cash prizes, etc) falls within 30 days of a prize win. A person can be eligible to win a major prize within 30 days of winning a small/daily prize, with discretion provided to the an air announcer facilitating the contest at the time of entry. However, when a major prize is won first, no exception will be made to the 30 day rule.

 

How to Enter
There is no purchase necessary to enter the Contest.

Upon hearing the cue-to-call, callers being the correct caller through (i.e. the 13th caller) will be asked to answer a trivia question or perform another task as described by the on-air host.

If the caller correctly answers the question or performs the task, they will be declared a potential winner.

If the caller fails to answer the question correctly or to perform the task, the next caller will be given the opportunity to answer or to compete the task. If no caller has correctly answered the question or completed the task, Pattison reserves the right to modify the Contest to enable a potential winner to be determined, or to carry the prize over to a subsequent time or contest.

Upon being declared a potential winner, the caller will be required to answer, unaided, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question. Upon correctly answering that question, the potential winner will be declared the winner.

Callers shall be responsible for all long-distance charges or any other fees associated with entering the Contest.
