Senior Spotlight Contest Rules


Listeners can enter by going to any of Pacific Northwest Media Group’s radio station  websites (KISM.COM, KAFE.COM, KPUG1170.COM, 989KBAY.COM, KGMI.COM) by completing the entry form and submitting a photo of someone they know who is graduating high school this year with the class of 2025.  Submissions will be accepted between 3 p.m. Wednesday, May 21st , 2025 through 8 a.m. Monday, June 16th, 2025.  One photo per week will be randomly chosen from all entries received and the graduate in the photo will receive a $500 scholarship in the form of a check. The first winner will be chosen on Wednesday, May 28, 2025 in the 8 a.m. hour.   After that, winners will be chosen every Monday between June 2nd, 2025 and June 16th, 2025  – all in the 8 a.m. hour. The entrant will not win the prize unless they are a graduating senior who submits a photo of themselves or is a friend or family member of the person that submitted the photo of them. Listeners can submit as many photos as they like, but only one photo may be entered for each graduating senior. Any graduating senior who has more than one photo submitted will have all but one entry removed before each drawing. If there is more than one person in a photo, the photo will be disqualified from winning any of the $500 scholarships.

Each winner will receive a $500 ‘scholarship’ in the form of a $500 check written by PNW Media Group.  The scholarship will be funded by our 2025 Senior Spotlight sponsors:  Curt Maberry Farm, Lorraine’s Window Coverings, D&D Insurance and Westside Building Supply.  A total of $2000 will be awarded to 4 different winners.

Each winner will be drawn randomly from all approved submissions entered in all photo albums on all five-radio station’s website. Once a winner has been drawn for that week, that winner cannot win again during the rest of the contest. A staff member from Pacific Northwest Media Group will contact each winner May 28th, June 2, June 9, and June 16th. No purchase necessary.  In the event a selected winner does not respond within 24 hours of notification, an alternate winner will be chosen.

Only one winner per household is permitted within 30 days after a household has a winner.
