Demo CDs must be “radio clean.” The Station, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to disqualify any Demo CD if such audio submission contains illegal, indecent or otherwise offensive material, or if such Demo CD contains material whose content is deemed, at the sole discretion of the Station, to be unsuitable for public performance or broadcast on the Station.

f. The station is not responsible for lost, stolen, mangled, misdelivered, illegible, incomplete or late entries.


4. FINALIST SELECTION

a. Decisions of the Station staff with respect to the Contest are final.

b. On 11/9/07 station staff will review each eligible Demo CD received by the registration deadline and will select three (3) bands/artists to be finalists (the “Finalists”). Finalists will be selected solely at the discretion of Station staff reviewing the Demo CD entries based on the same criteria used to pick music for the station (i.e. whether the music fits with the Station’s playlist and format). Two songs by each Finalist will be listed online. The station will allow each Finalist to determine which two songs they would like to be listed online for voting.

c. Online voting will take place to determine the Grand Prize Winner from the 3 finalists chosen by the station. Online voting will begin on 11/12/07 at 5:30am EST and will end on 11/16/07 at approximately 12am EST. Only one internet vote per person and per email address. All voters must electronically submit their names, e-mail addresses, and dates of birth for verification purposes. Judging will be based on the number of online votes. For purposes of these Official Rules, “receipt” of an online vote occurs when www.orock1059.com servers record the entry information upon clicking the “Vote” button. Any automated computer receipt (such as one confirming delivery of e-mail) does not constitute proof of actual receipt by the www.orock1059.com of an online entry for purposes of these Official Rules. Internet votes will be deemed made by the authorized account holder of the e-mail address submitted at the time of voting. The authorized account holder is the natural person who is assigned to the e-mail address by an Internet access provider, on-line service provider, or other organization that is responsible by assigning e-mail addresses or the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address. After the voting deadline has ended, the station will tally up each finalist’s online votes and the band that receives the most votes will be deemed the Grand Prize Winner and will be the opening act for the No Snow Show 4 on 11/27/07 at the House of Blues.


5. WINNER SELECTION

a. The Grand Prize Winner will be notified by a member of the Promotions Department on 11/19/07 by 11am (EST). The Grand Prize Winner will have until 11/20/07 at 11am (EST) to confirm their participation in the show. If the Grand Prize Winner does not confirm their participation in the show by 11/20/07 at 11am (EST), WOCL will choose the 2nd place winner and the Grand Prize Winner will be disqualified.

b. Odds of winning depend upon the amount of entries received.
