Radio Cymru 2 WhatsApp Competition Terms and Conditions

Eligibility
Entry is open to all UK residents (including Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) aged 18 or over, except BBC employees or those of its affiliates and their close relatives or any person connected to the competition. The BBC reserves the right to require proof of age, identity and eligibility from any entrant or winner, and to disqualify any entrant or winner who breaches these terms, provides false information, or whose age, identity or eligibility cannot be verified to the BBC's reasonable satisfaction.

How to enter
Listeners will be asked to ‘guess the year’ that a selection of tracks are all from. The competition will open at 7:30 and close at 12:30 as announced on air. Please listen carefully to announcements as this may be subject to change.

Each competition will run Monday to Thursday (subject to editorial change). A short clip from a notable song from a year will be played on Monday. On Tuesday a second clip of song from the same year will be added and so on until there are four song clips from the same year on Thursday. The opening and closing times for each daily round will be announced on-air before entries are invited.

Entry to the competition is by sending a WhatsApp message to 03703 500 500 starting with the word ‘DAU’ followed by the four digits of the year they think the tracks are from eg ‘DAU 1994’. WhatsApp messages are free but data charges may apply, check with your network provider for exact costs. Entries are capped at one entry per phone number per round of the competition. Entrants can enter at any point from Monday to Thursday whilst the competition is open but any additional entries will not be counted and only your first entry will be accepted. Entries not starting with the information above will not be considered valid entries for this competition. No other method of entry will be accepted.

Previous winners may not win the competition again within 12 months of their most recent win.

By entering this competition via WhatsApp, entrants acknowledge that they are leaving the BBC’s platform. WhatsApp is a third-party service provided by WhatsApp LLC and is subject to its own terms and conditions. The BBC is not responsible for the WhatsApp service or any data processed by WhatsApp. Entrants should review WhatsApp’s terms and privacy policy before using the service.

The presenter will announce when the lines will be open for entries.

When lines close, an entrant will be selected using an independent randomised draw system. The BBC production team will call the winner to ensure they are eligible to win the prize. If the call is not answered within this time, or if it is diverted to any form of voicemail, answerphone, or automated answer service (including but not limited to call screening features that intercept or filter calls), the entrant will be deemed not to have answered. If the entrant does not answer, the shortlisted entrant is rude or abusive, or the entrant is not eligible to win the prize, the BBC reserves the right to disqualify the entrant and contact the next eligible randomly selected entrant and the selection process will start again, this will continue until the prize is won. Any prize that remains unclaimed after all reasonable attempts to contact eligible entrants have been exhausted shall be voided and shall not roll over to any subsequent competition. The BBC will make reasonable adjustments to its callback procedure to accommodate entrants who use a recognised relay service or other communication service for accessibility purposes. Once winner is confirmed, their first name and location will be announced on-air.

The competition may run monthly and this will be described clearly on-air and possibly online. The competition is only open during the times announced on-air. Entries received outside these times will not be registered.

The phone from which the WhatsApp entry is sent in the registration process must be the entrant’s phone. The entrant must be entering on their own behalf. The BBC reserves the right to disqualify any entrant who did not enter using their own phone, who answered a call to someone else’s phone or who has someone else answer their phone on their behalf, save where the entrant is using a recognised telephone relay service (such as Relay UK) or third-party communication support as a reasonable adjustment.

Prize
The prize is as described by the BBC on-air and in some cases on the corresponding web pages where applicable. The nature and value of the prize, together with any significant conditions or limitations affecting the prize, will be made known to listeners at the time the invitation to participate is offered.

Unless expressly stated, the prize does not include travel, accommodation, or any other expenses, which are the winner’s responsibility.

The prize is for the winner's personal enjoyment only. The winner may not copy, reproduce, distribute or commercially exploit the prize.

There is no cash alternative to any prize. Prizes are non-exchangeable, non-transferable and may not be sold. The BBC reserves the right to substitute a prize of equivalent or greater value if circumstances make this necessary.

Where required, the BBC will pass on the details of the winner to the appropriate prize provider/venue to arrange prize fulfilment. If the prize requires additional action (such as collection of tickets) the winner must follow instructions given (which may include proof of identity). The BBC is not responsible for any failure to follow such instructions.

The prize may have additional requirements which alter the eligibility for entrants to the competition (such as, but not limited to, an age limit for entry to an event for which tickets are offered). In these instances, the changes to the eligibility requirements will be announced clearly on-air and online (if applicable) before the competition opens.

If the prize includes tickets or entry to an event, the BBC will not be responsible for any failure by the winner and guests (if applicable) to gain entry or re-entry to the event due to their behaviour or their failure to meet the admission requirements of the event, including, but not limited to, minimum age. Winners are responsible for checking admission requirements to the venue.
The winner acknowledges that event tickets have additional Terms and Conditions. Winners (and their guests, where applicable) agree to abide by the Terms and Conditions of the ticketed event and to comply with all applicable venue health, safety and security policies. The BBC is not responsible for third party terms or third party websites related to the prize.

Where the prize includes attendance at an event or experience, the winner (and their guests, where applicable) must disclose any health or accessibility requirements to the BBC before prize fulfilment. The BBC shall not be liable for any failure to accommodate requirements not disclosed in advance.
