Each weeknight the hot30 Countdown will invite listeners to register their details via the website or SMS to 1999 30 30 for their opportunity to be part of this contest. Each SMS costs 55 cents. Listeners will need to include their contact details and the name of the song they wish to vote for.

Each SMS entry will receive a bounce-back message via SMS with that night’s Password.For those who register online, the Password will be featured on the voting/registration page at www.Hot30.com .

Each night the Hot30 team will randomly draw a winner from all of the website and SMS votes/registrations received for that night’s countdown and call them back on their nominated telephone number at approximately 9pm AEST (“Contestant”).

All draws will be electronic random draws conducted at 2DAY FM of Level 24, Tower One, 500 Oxford Street, Bondi Junction NSW 2022. The first person drawn will become the Contestant. If the Contestant can not be contacted via their nominated telephone number/s at this time, their name will be returned to the list of registrations and another Contestant will be drawn and so on until the Hot30 successfully contacts a contestant who is able to play.

If the Contestant can correctly state that night’s Password, they will win a minor prize. If they do not state the correct Password they will not win a prize and another Contestant will be drawn and so on until there is a winner.

Contestants will be judged successfully or unsuccessfully to have told the announcer the password according to the absolute discretion of the announcer and no discussions or correspondence will be entertained.

Any votes that come in after the winner is drawn at 9pm AEST each night will be carried over to the next night’s draw. Votes will be taken for the following weeknight’s hot30 countdown from 9pm until 8:59pm the next weekday.
