PRIZE:

One winner will receive all of the following:

  • A limited-edition coffee cup from The World
  • A virtual coffee session with host Marco Werman, to be scheduled for December 2022 or January 2023. 

Ten additional winners will receive: 

  • A limited-edition coffee cup from The World

Prize must be claimed within 3 days of the drawing. 

Total value: $10

SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION OF WINNER: One winner of the virtual coffee and three back up names will be selected by random drawing no later than Dec. 5, 2022. Winner will be contacted by email for notification of contest results by telephone or mail. If the winner is unable to be contacted within three days to collect their prize, the unawarded prize will go to the first back-up and subsequent back-ups thereof until the prize is awarded.

The three back-up names will then become winners of the limited-edition mug, and seven additional names will be selected, along with three additional back ups. If those winners are in turn unable to be contacted to collect their prize, the unawarded mugs will go to the first and subsequent backups until the prize is awarded. 

The chances of winning are dependent upon the number of entries. The winners’ names will be kept on file at The World and PRX and will be announced around Dec 5. 2022.

The winner agrees to participate in promotion of the event or gift won as a prize, including, but not limited to, the use of his or her name, photograph or likeness, without further compensation.
