Saxquest Trivia Contest Rules

How the contest works

Each month, there will be a new game. The game consists of a single trivia question relating to some aspect of the saxophone. The answer to this question can be found by perusing either our Saxquest web site here or our saxophone resource site saxophone.org. The intent of the Saxquest saxophone trivia contest is to serve as a fun and challenging learning experience with the possibility of reward for those who succeed. A winner will be randomly selected from those contestants who correctly answer the question. You must be a registered Saxquest member to play (becoming a member is free.) Any Saxquest member may submit one entry per month. Playing more than once under more than one email address at a time is forbidden and is grounds for disqualification. The game begins on the first of every month at 12:01 A.M., and ends on the last day of each month at 11:59:59 P.M. ("the game period").

How to play

To play the Saxquest saxophone trivia contest, simply click Trivia Contest from the Addt'l Services menu above. Read the "Contest Background" and then do as much research as you like before entering your answer. You may wish to discuss your thoughts with others on the Saxophone.org discussion forum. However, watch out for others giving misleading advice...the bottom line is that you must decide the correct answer for yourself. When you're ready to answer, simply go to the Trivia Contest page, and when you are logged in, you will be given the opportunity to submit an answer at the bottom of the page. Be sure to use correct spelling, as misspelling the correct answer may register as a wrong answer. Once you've entered your answer, it cannot be changed. The correct answer, as well as the contest winner, will be posted after the contest is over and all past contest info can be viewed by choosing from the contest archives on our left menu.

Prizes

The prizes will vary from contest to contest. Examples may include, but are not limited to, vintage sax mouthpieces, a custom Saxquest saxophone setup, Saxquest store gift certificates, jazz or classical saxophone CDs, etc. Approximate retail value of each monthly prize will vary between $50 - $250.
