For example, a "Code Word of the Day" listen-to-win game is generally conducted daily in which the child must be the designated caller and must identify the "Code Word of the day" that is disclosed periodically throughout that day, with broadcast beginning at 5AM CT. Should a child be the correct caller but have the wrong answer the on-air personality will take the next random caller. The contest will continue until a selected caller has the right answer and the prize is awarded
      3. Mail-in. Child can enter such Radio Disney contests via letter or postcard sent to Radio Disney. Radio Disney personnel or agency will handle all mail. Radio Disney will either randomly select the winner from among all eligible entries received or will announce means of selection on air.

Alternately, there may be a random drawing from among all eligible entries received with the correct answer(s). The specific format will be announced on air.
      5. Skill/Character. Winner will be selected by pre-announced judging criteria. A skill contest may or may not also include a random element (e.g. randomly selected postcards get to perform talent act). Means of entry, subject of sill contests and entry deadlines will be announced on air.
      6. All prizes announced on-air will be awarded (except in case of prize forfeiture).
    2. To qualify to win, child must comply with all rules and meet all eligibility requirements.
