Amusing and engaging, this entry was a very good listen. Clearly in tune with its audience, both the prize itself and the way the competition was devised and executed, were relevant to the stations target audience. It also had cultural resonance in the past and the present, which added to its appeal. It had an appropriate level of interactivity and the cross platform dimension worked well and acknowledged different listening environments. The imaging around the competition was slick and professional and clearly developed with care and attention.

A well produced offer that was rich in content and a strong concept that was delivered with panache. Innovative fusing of competition and charity. This programme clearly fit the station brand and community ethos. Although the concept was complex, there was clear, engaging explanation and real tension and excitement when the results of the competition were announced. The competition helped to differentiate the station and engage its listeners.
