The Contest will be broadcast on the Station, promoted online, and conclude with a live event at the Sponsor’s location. By entering, you agree to these Official Rules and the decisions of the Station and Sponsor, which are final and binding. These rules comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements under 47 C.F.R. § 73.1216 and Hawaii state laws under HRS Chapters 712 and 481B. No purchase or payment is necessary to enter or win. The Contest is void where prohibited by law.

1. Contest Period

The Contest qualifying period begins at 6:00 AM HT on Monday, October 13, 2025, and ends at 11:59 PM HT on Friday, December 5, 2025 ("Qualifying Period"). The final event will take place on Saturday, December 13, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM HT at Island Wide Motors, 1672 Kamehameha Ave., Hilo, HI 96720. All entries must be received by the end of the Qualifying Period. The Station’s computer is the official time-keeping device for the Contest.

2. How to Enter

There are two ways to enter and become a qualifier. Limit one (1) entry per person per day, regardless of entry method. Multiple entries on the same day will be disqualified. No purchase or payment is required to enter or win, and all entries have an equal chance of qualifying.

On-Air Entry

Listen to The Opihi 107.7 during the Qualifying Period for the "engine sounder" played during the 6 AM, 9 AM, 12 PM, 3 PM, and 5 PM hours, Monday through Friday. Call the Station’s contest line at (808) 55-OPIHI / (808) 556-7444 when you hear the sounder. The seventh (7th) caller for each sounder will be a qualifier. Five (5) qualifiers will be selected each weekday, for up to 200 qualifiers over 8 weeks (5/day × 5 days/week × 8 weeks). Callers must be patient, as phone lines may be busy. Only live calls count—no voicemails.

Each on-air qualifier receives a $50 restaurant gift card (Approximate Retail Value: $50). Gift cards will be mailed to the address provided or arranged for pickup at the Station. The Station and Sponsor are not responsible for lost, stolen, or undelivered gift cards once mailed.
