Terms & Conditions

Competition Terms and Conditions (”Rules”)

Please read these rules carefully.

“Competition” means any promotion, prize draw or competition operated by Sheffield Live! (whether on its own behalf or on behalf of its sponsors).

By entering the Competition, whether by email, online entry, post, telephone or text message, Entrants will be deemed to have accepted these Rules and agree to be bound by them.

These Rules are in addition to any Rules, instructions and other specific details relating to the particular Competition broadcast on air or published on our website or any other website or in any media which features the Competition.

The Promoter is Sheffield Live!. Sheffield Live may refer to either or both Sheffield Live 93.2FM, a community radio service operated by Commedia Sheffield, The Workstation, 15 Paternoster Row, Sheffield S1 2BX, and/or to Sheffield Live TV, a local television service operated by SLTV Ltd, The Workstation, 15 Paternoster Row, Sheffield S1 2BX.

Sheffield Live reserves the right to amend these Rules at any time. Sheffield Live may also create rules which will apply to a specific competition only. If we do this we will publish the amended competition rules and/or specific competition rules on the relevant competition page. Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions (”Rules”) also apply to any subsequent revision, whether notified or not.

The Prize
