No one person or member of their immediate family or household may win more than one prize from Quinte Broadcasting within any thirty (30) day period. Individuals are only eligible to win major contests (prizes with a value over $500) on Quinte Broadcasting radio stations once every three hundred and sixty-five (365) days. However, if an individual wins a daily prize (value of $100 or less) within a thirty (30) day period, they remain eligible to win a major contest during that same thirty (30) day period.
Contest Period
The Rock the Waves Contest begins on Monday, July 13, 2026, and continues through Friday, August 14, 2026, during which listeners will have opportunities to qualify for the Grand Prize as announced on-air and through official contest materials.
The final qualifier will be selected on Friday, August 14, 2026.
All eligible qualifiers will be invited to attend the Rock the Waves Reverse Draw Event on Saturday, August 22, 2026, where the Grand Prize winner will be determined through a live reverse draw.
How to Qualify
Listeners may qualify for the Rock the Waves Reverse Draw by participating in the on-air contest as announced on MIX 97, ROCK 107 and CJBQ during the Contest Period.
Contestants may attempt to qualify as often as permitted during the Contest Period.
Each week, ten (10) Grand Prize qualifiers will be selected for the Reverse Draw Event.
A listener may make multiple attempts to qualify during a given week; however, once they have been selected as one of the ten (10) weekly Grand Prize qualifiers, they become an official qualifier for the Reverse Draw and are no longer eligible to qualify again during the remainder of the Contest.
Only one (1) qualifying position will be awarded per person.
A total of fifty (50) Grand Prize qualifiers will be selected over the course of the Contest. Each official qualifier will receive one (1) position in the Reverse Draw Event.
If a listener who has already qualified is selected again, or is otherwise determined to be ineligible to receive an additional qualifying position, Quinte Broadcasting Inc. will select another eligible contestant in accordance with the contest procedures.
The final Grand Prize qualifier will be selected on Friday, August 14, 2026.
