One Sweepstakes winner will be randomly selected from all eligible entries received during the Contest Period, regardless of the method of entry, (the “Winner”) to receive the grand prize of a paid pilgrimage trip for up to two (2) travelers to a pilgrimage destination determined by Relevant Radio. The prize winner will travel as part of a group pilgrimage organized by Relevant Radio and Nativity Pilgrimages to a pilgrimage destination determined by Relevant Radio. Domestic airfare and lodging (maximum of two (2) rooms per two (2) travelers will be provided), meals (based on GSA travel per diem rates), and any entrance to attractions as outlined in the itinerary upon final determination of dates of travel are covered in the prize award (approximate prize valued between $8,000 - $12,000 based on number of participating travelers and specifics to the individuals) for the length of the pilgrimage.
The prize includes roundtrip economy airfare from the closest major airport to the pilgrimage departure airport, with travelers departing and returning to the same permanent US address. Relevant Radio has the final determination on flight arrangements and what qualifies as eligible travel within these terms for the two (2) eligible travelers. Additionally, Relevant Radio will pay 25% of the determined prize value of the travel package in the form of a cash stipend to the Winner to help with the unseen costs of travel and potential taxes that come about from the winning. This additional cash payout will be added to the travel package value for a total prize award, which will be communicated to the Winner.

Notification is considered to have occurred immediately upon sending the email or placing the phone call. Failure to accept the prize will result in forfeiture, and another winner will be selected. In the event that there is no response, an alternate winner will be chosen in place of the original winner.
If Winner fails to respond to Sponsor within fourteen (14) days of notification, Winner shall forfeit Prize and Sponsor may select an alternate Winner in a random drawing from the remaining eligible entries. Potential winners may waive their right to receive a prize. All prizes will be awarded, but unclaimed prizes may be forfeited. Prizes are non-assignable and nontransferable.
