From August 30 through October 25, 2013, The Illini Radio Group will conduct an online voting campaign to recognize a weekly “player of the week.” Five player candidates from various area schools will be selected randomly by station judges each week of the football season. The five players, their schools and statistics will be posted on a UPickEm voting page linked to the corresponding radio station website (www.mix945.com, www.wixy.com, www.925thechief.com, www.wyxyclassic991.com, www.extra921.com, www.979trueoldies.com or www.hits997.com). Voting for all candidates will be open from approximately 10am each Monday beginning September 2, 2013 through 7pm each Sunday during each week, with the campaign ending on October 27, 2013 at 10:00pm. Participants who wish to vote must become a registered user through the uPickem portal on station’s website. Voting will be restricted to one vote per e-mail address per day of each weekly contest (Monday through Sunday). Votes generated by a robotic, programmed, script, macro, or other automated means will not be allowed and will be disqualified.

Online voters must be at least 13 years of age or older to participate. “Player of the week” candidates must be between 14 and 19 years of age and a current student player on a high school football to be eligible for inclusion.
