E: 13/03 Win a weekend break & £1000 (Nomination/ on air)
We are celebrating every kind of mum and reminding us why we love them, quirks and all!
To celebrate Mother’s Day on Absolute Radio, we’re teaming up with Tesco to launch the Mum of the Year Awards - but with a twist. We’ll need you to nominate your mums across a range of fun and unconventional categories.
These won’t be your typical awards. Instead, we’ll be celebrating the mums who truly make life memorable - the ones who go above and beyond to shape our lives… even if it’s not always in the way we’d expect!
Nominations opens from Wednesday 4th March at 00:01 and closes on Friday 13th March at 12:00.

These terms and conditions (the “Specific Terms”) for the Competition should be read alongside our general competition terms and conditions at: (the “General Terms”) which will also apply to this Competition. Where there is any conflict between these Specific Terms and the General Terms, the Specific Terms shall prevail.

Online at: Latest Competitions News | Competitions Articles - Absolute Radio
Online entry is free of charge.
2.COMPETITION MECHANIC AND HOW TO WIN
There will be five winners of the Competition (one per day of the Entry Period).
The winners will be selected from all those that nominate their mum for Absolute Radio’s ‘Mum of the Year’ awards (via the website named in section 1).
To celebrate Mother’s Day on Absolute Radio, we’re teaming up with Tesco to launch the Mum of the Year Awards - but with a twist. We’ll need you to nominate your mums or mother figures (such as step-mum, foster mum, legal guardian) across a range of fun and unconventional categories. These categories include:
· Multi-Tasking Mum Of The Year
· Peacekeeping Mum Of The Year
· Taxi Mum Of The Year
· Crafting Mum Of The Year
· Super Mum Of The Year
Stories should be light-hearted, and entries must be suitable for broadcast, with no offensive, discriminatory or explicit content. Entries will be judged on how compelling and how deserving the entry is. Entrants can enter multiple categories. All entries will be judged by the Absolute Radio production team, the production manager, and an independent judge.
There will be 5 winners of the competition (one per day of the Entry Period). Once selected, we will get in touch on the telephone number or email provided by the entrant and that entrant will be brought to air with Bush & Richie during the Absolute Radio Hometime Show where they will have to tell the presenters their submitted ‘Mum of the Year’ nomination.
There will be 5 opportunities to win (one opportunity per day) during the Entry Period. The winner for each day will be contacted no later than 12pm on the following dates:
· Monday 9th March 2026. The selected entrant will join Bush & Richie on-air on Monday 9th March 2026 between 16:00-19:00.
· Tuesday 10th March 2026. The selected entrant will join Bush & Richie on-air on Tuesday 10th March 2026 between 16:00-19:00.
· Wednesday 11th March 2026. The selected entrant will join Bush & Richie on-air on Wednesday 11th March 2026 between 16:00-19:00.
· Thursday 12th March 2026. The selected entrant will join Bush & Richie on-air on Thursday 12th March 2026 between 16:00-19:00.
· Friday 13th March 2026. The selected entrant will join Bush & Richie on-air on Friday 13th March 2026 between 16:00-19:00.
Being called during the Entry Period does not mean that the entrant has won, and they will only win on being told they are the winner by the production team.
If an entrant is selected as the winner but cannot join the presenters (Bush & Richie) on-air in their show (Hometime show between 16:00-19:00) then another entrant will be selected in their place, and they will not win the prize.
3. ENTRY PERIOD
