Listen and Earn Entries for Big Prizes With 98.1 The Hawk

I love that I can take 98.1 The Hawk with me wherever I go, right in the palm of my hand. If you stream the station on your phone while you work or run errands around the Southern Tier, you’re already doing the one thing that can earn you entries in two new contests. Listen and Earn turns your listening time into chances to win a trip to Nashville to see Kenny Chesney or a $500 Target gift card.

Southern Tier Listeners Can Earn Entries With 98.1 The Hawk Listen and Earn

Here's the first thing to know: you’ll need the 98.1 The Hawk mobile app to take advantage of Listen and Earn. Listen and Earn doesn’t work through a desktop or laptop, Alexa, or Google Home, so the app on your phone is the way in.

Once you’ve got it, open the menu on the left and tap “Listen and Earn.” You’ll earn one entry for every 15 minutes you stream 98.1 The Hawk live, and that same page lets you check your progress anytime.

Redeem Your 98.1 The Hawk App Entries to Get in the Drawing

This part is easy to miss, so don’t skip it. Your listening entries won’t automatically put you in a drawing. You have to open the widget for the contest you want and redeem your entries there yourself.

You can claim up to 20 streaming entries per day, which adds up to five hours of listening for a full day’s allotment. There are also bonus entries for quick social actions like following or sharing, and you’ll find those options in each contest’s widget.

Win a Kenny Chesney Trip to Nashville With 98.1 The Hawk

If you’ve ever wanted to see Kenny Chesney in Music City, here’s your shot. The Kenny Chesney No Shoes Nashville Getaway grand prize sends two people to Nashville with round-trip airfare, a two-night hotel stay, and tickets to his July 3, 2027, concert at Nissan Stadium. His Original Vibe Room Tour also features Eric Church, Sheryl Crow, and Greylan James.

You can earn entries by streaming in the app or by listening for contest codes, which we’ll announce on weekdays from October 19 through November 6. The sweepstakes closes at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, November 8, and the winner will be selected on Monday, November 9. Hey Now Records is providing the prize.

Win a $500 Target Gift Card With Right on Target

If a trip isn’t on your wish list, the Right on Target sweepstakes gives one randomly selected winner a $500 Target gift card. It works the same way as the Nashville giveaway, but it stays open longer, through 11:59 p.m. Thursday, December 31. The winner will be selected on Monday, January 4, 2027.
