The Beat ” WBMP” General Contest Rules and Prize Policies:

To give all our listeners the opportunity to feel the excitement of winning from The Beat, we ask contestants to remember a few guidelines. Please wait at least 30 days after you win a prize to play another contest on The Beat. We also limit most contests to one winner per household. Some contests have additional restrictions that will be announced or posted as needed. Unless otherwise specified or arranged, ALL PRIZES MUST BE CLAIMED WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF WINNING. PRIZES MUST BE CLAIMED AT THE PADUCAH OFFICE. WE’RE OPEN MONDAY-FRIDAY FROM 9AM-430PM.

Most prizes won on-air at The Beat 102.5 / 100.9 or on beatpaducah.com  are to be picked up at our offices. This is a necessary policy because many of the prizes are too big, bulky, or heavy to be mailed. Other times we may give away tickets for shows or events that will occur only a day or two past the giveaway date, so there is not enough time to mail these items. We also give away many prizes that are limited, one of a kind, or not replaceable. If they are lost in the mail, we cannot get replacements for the winners. Finally, once an item is mailed, we have no way to verify whether the winner received the prize or not. These reasons make it impractical for us to mail prizes, so we simply ask winners to pick up prizes at our offices during normal business hours, Monday through Friday between 9am and 4:30pm Central time. If your prize will not be available for normal pickup, special instructions will be given to you at the time of winning. Prizes not picked up within two weeks may be forfeited. Prizes such as concert or event tickets that are for a specific show, concert or event must be picked up at the offices of The Beat prior to 4:30pm Central time on the last day of business prior to the show, concert or event. The Beat assumes no responsibility for redeeming such tickets should a concert or event be cancelled, postponed, or not held for any reason whatsoever. If you win tickets to a concert or event that is canceled, The Beat is not obligated to replace those tickets with tickets to another event or concert.

Unless otherwise posted, contests on The Beat are open to all legal U.S. residents of Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana and Arkansas who reside within The Beat coverage area. Contestants must be 18 years old or older to win and/or claim prizes with a retail value of $100 or more, or certain prizes that by their nature should be restricted to persons under 18 years old.
