2.COMPETITION MECHANIC AND HOW TO WIN
If randomly selected the entrant will be required to come on-air to identify the song that Fleur is attempting to playing on the piano. The competition starts with just 1 note being played, and will build with 1 note being added each week until someone guesses it correctly and wins £1,000.
When someone guesses correctly and wins, we may start a new competition round with a brand new song (returning to just 1 note, that builds again with 1 new note added each day). Or, we may finish the competition entirely.
The melody that is pieced together note-by-note is Fleur’s interpretation of the track and may not be exactly representative of the original song.
3. ENTRY PERIOD
A new grand piano contest begins on Wednesday 17th September 2026, and will continue each weekday morning on Hits Radio Breakfast until someone guesses it correctly.
1 competition round takes place between 8am and 9am each valid morning that the game is in play.
Each contest round will be clearly opened on air and a closing time for that round will be given by the presenter on air.
Any entries received before the start date and time, or after the end date and time, will not be entered but you may still be charged.
We reserve the right to pull or add contest rounds at our discretion.
By entering the Competition, you are automatically consenting to being called live on air at this time (where a call is not recorded off-air), and to having your name and location announced on-air.
The name and the hometown of the winner may also be posted on the Promoter’s website and / or social media platforms after they have been announced on-air.
4. ENTRY RESTRICTIONS
Open to UK residents aged 18 years or over on date of entry.
Our employees (and their family members) or employees of any company involved in the Competition, including any prize provider, are not permitted to enter.
We reserve the right to disqualify any entrant or winner who does not comply with any of the eligibility criteria and/or is in breach of these Terms. We reserve the right to repeat the Competition mechanic or any stage of it in order to draw a winner that fulfils all of the eligibility criteria and is in compliance with these Terms.
Anyone who has won a Bauer competition to the value of £500 or more within the past 6 months on any Bauer radio brand, will not be eligible to take part in this Competition nor will anyone else at their address. If by any chance they get through to play, any prize they have been successful with will not be awarded and/or they will be removed from participation. The full list of Bauer radio brands can be found here: https://www.bauermedia.co.uk/brands.
Once an entrant comes on-air to give their guess, they are not permitted to enter again with another guess for the duration of the contest (i.e. until someone else correctly guesses).
Entrants are only able to win a single prize throughout the duration of this Competition. There is no limit on the value of a single prize that may be provided to the individual winner of a Competition. However, no person may win more than one prize valued at £500 or more via any of our Competitions in any six (6) month period. A winner may continue to receive SMS messages in relation to the Competition and invitations to enter the Competition. For the avoidance of doubt, a winner should not enter the Competition again if they have already won in the previous six (6) months as they are ineligible to win. If a previous winner is drawn at random in a subsequent competition, or subsequent round of the same competition, they will be disqualified, and another entrant will be drawn at random. If it emerges after a winner has been awarded a Prize that they are a previous winner, in breach of these terms and conditions, they will be excluded and the Prize shall not be paid to them. If the Prize has already been paid, this must be returned immediately upon request. For clarity, it is possible to be drawn more than once to play the Competition between the Start Date and End Date, and if the entrant drawn has not previously won the Prize, they are eligible to play again.
All on air competitions are also subject to Hits Radio specific terms and conditions which can be found at http://www.bauerlegal.co.uk/radio-website-terms.html.
5. THE PRIZE
One (1) winner will win the prize set out below (the “Prize”).
If the caller guesses the song correctly, they will win Prize Item A:
£1,000 delivered by BACS
Prizes are non-transferable and non-refundable, and no cash alternative will be offered, except where expressly stated in these Terms and Conditions.
Where, it emerges after the Prize has been awarded that the entrant was in breach of these terms and conditions, we reserve the right to withdraw the Prize from that winner and they will not be entitled to any further reward or remuneration. We reserve the right to exclude individuals who breach our terms and conditions from entering our competitions.
Proof of identification and address will need to be provided to Bauer Media. The winner’s name, phone number, email and address will be cross checked against the Bauer Media winner database and only once they pass the criteria, they will be deemed the winner of the Competition.
Bauer Media will aim to send the Prize to the winner within 28 working days from the date they pass winner checks as mentioned above. However, there may be a delay due to potential unforeseen circumstances and therefore deliveries may take longer. Bauer Media will make all necessary attempts to keep the winner up to date with details of any delays and when the winner can expect the Prize. Bauer Media has the right to select another winner if the winner does not respond within 7 days of initial contact and continue to do so until a winner is found.
