Those individuals wishing to take part in the contest should email their answers to the trivia questions to route67spn@gmail.com, specifying if the answer is for the podcast question or website question. Please use the email subject heading: Podcast Trivia Contest or Website Trivia Contest. Only one answer per email. If answering both questions, the answers should be sent in separate emails.

3. Unless otherwise specified during the podcast and on the show notes on the blog, weekly contests will close Fridays at midnight eastern time. Correct answers must be emailed prior to this time to be counted in the contest. Only one correct answer will be accepted per question per email address per week, leaving contestants the opportunity to enter a maximum of two times per week.

4. A list of all contestants who have correct answers will be maintained by the podcasters on a weekly basis and each correct answer will be considered an entry. All entries will be entered into a drawing at the end of the month and one will be selected at random as a winner. For example, if a contestant answers 2 (two) podcast questions and 3 (three) website questions, they will have 5 (five) entries into the drawing. Odds of winning will vary depending on the number of entries.

5. Contestants names will also be listed on the show's blog route67spn.blogspot.com. Unless otherwise specified in the contestant's email, contestants will be listed by the account portion of their email (i.e. route67spn@gmail.com would be listed as route67spn).

6. Monthly contests, including the weekly contest for the last week of the month, will close at 6pm eastern time on the Thursday following the last podcast of the month. The winner of the drawing will be contacted by email prior to 9pm eastern time on that Thursday. In the event of an unavoidable delay contacting of the winner, a notice of this delay will be made on the show's blog at route67spn.blogspot.com and on the show's Twitter account.

7. Winners will be asked to provide an address to the podcasters in a private email in order to receive their winnings. Shipping costs are considered part of the winnings and the podcasters will never ask the winners for payment or credit card information for shipping and/or other costs.
