Hey ****! Sounds exciting! Could you tell me more about the specific rules or requirements of the contest? That way, I can provide more tailored information.
The contest rules state that “all contest entries become the property of life *.* radio station. Life *.* may withhold any or all contest entry materials, for any reason station management deems crucial to the completion of the contest, or for reasons relating to publicity and/or advertising.”
Hey ****! When entering a contest, it's important to understand the implications of the rules. Here's some general information:
