(a minimum of 50 and a maximum of 99) and, basing their opinion on the appeal made by the various items, to place them in their order of popularity. From the marks awarded, the general average of public opinion regarding the respective items will be calculated and the listener whose opinion most closely corresponds with that general average will win the £50 Columbia gramophone. The necessary coupon will appear in the "Radio Record." In order to give all listeners an opportunity of hearing the complete programme, all the items will be repeated, that is, the whole competition programme will be given twice in the evening. Listeners will thus have the opportunity of checking over and revising the marks which they have allotted.
