4. To enter the Competition an Entrant must send a text message with the relevant keyword to one of the following radio stations shortcodes Classic FM – 61812 (ALPS) (the “Text Message Line”).

After entering the Competition, participants will receive a bounceback text message informing them that a voluntary donation to Global’s Make Some Noise (registered charity 1091657 (England & Wales) & SC041475 (Scotland)) of £3 will be taken automatically, unless they text the word CANCEL as instructed.
