Door Prizes
Radios or Station Accessories to be given as door prizes will be awarded according to the official Hamfest Program. The person holding the winning ticket must be present at the time of the drawing to win.
Donated Prizes
All donated prizes will be awarded according to the instruction of the donor. All donated prizes are to be awarded prior to the 3:30 p.m. grand prize drawing on Saturday. The Hamfest Chairman and JARC President reserve the right to reject donated items.
Grand Prize
The Grand Prize will be awarded on Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. You do not have to be present to win. Provisions will be made to ship it to the lucky winner, if he or she is not present.
Rules and Procedures for Awarding Door Prizes
Each admission purchase gets one free door prize ticket. Additional tickets may be obtained by donating $1.00 per ticket or 6 tickets for $5.00 to the Hamfest fund. Free admissions are not eligible for free door prize tickets.
Depositing the Tickets
It is the responsibility of the participants to have their Door Prize Tickets correctly filled out, and then deposited in the door prize ticket hopper located near the stage.
Drawing for Door Prizes
Drawing for Hamfest-provided door prizes will be according to the official Hamfest program as closely as practical. Times are approximate with announcements scheduled between forums and meetings.
- All drawings will be from the same ticket hopper throughout the Hamfest.
- All tickets drawn will be returned to the hopper after each round of drawings; therefore, everyone is eligible for prizes throughout the Hamfest, even possibly winning more than once.
- Each prize will be clearly announced before the ticket is drawn.
- Only a pre-designated ticket puller will be allowed to pull tickets.
- All tickets will be drawn one at a time, in full view, and handed directly to the announcer.
- The winning ticket number, name, and ham call (if one) will be announced up to three times before another ticket is pulled.
- Winners names will be written on cash certificates at the time they are awarded. The winner must sign the certificate when cashing it in (just like a check).
- The grand prize will be awarded at the final drawing. One ticket will be drawn and announced. If present, the winner may claim the prize with proper identification. The Hamfest chairman will arrange to deliver the prize if the winner is not present.
