Givember Official Rules

The Tomb Studio, LLC · Last updated November 3, 2026

How Givember works

No purchase is necessary to spin the Givember prize wheel, and booking or buying never improves your odds. Givember runs November 3 to 30, 2026, in two separate parts:

  • Free prize wheel. Everyone who is eligible can spin once a week for free, in person or by request. It's luck, and spins are never earned.

  • Hours prizes. Artists earn hours by booking paid sessions with participating engineers. The most hours each week wins a weekly prize, and the 3 artists with the most hours in November win the Top 3 prizes. No luck is involved.

Sponsor and dates

Givember is run by The Tomb Studio, LLC, 313 West North Street, Akron, OH 44303 ("the studio," "we"). It runs from 12:00 AM Tuesday, November 3, 2026, through 11:59 PM Monday, November 30, 2026. All times are Eastern Time.

Each week runs Tuesday through Monday:

  • Week 1: November 3 to 9

  • Week 2: November 10 to 16

  • Week 3: November 17 to 23

  • Week 4: November 24 to 30

Who can take part

Givember is open to Ohio residents age 13 and older. If you're under 18, you need a parent's or guardian's permission, and that adult must accept any prize for you.

The Tomb Studio's engineers, producers and interns can't win. Family members of the team can take part like anyone else. As with every artist, only sessions they pay for count toward hours prizes. Void where prohibited.

Free prize wheel

You can spin the prize wheel once a week for free, in person or by request, from November 3 through November 30.

How to get your spin

  • In person. The studio isn't open to the public, and the door stays locked unless a session is booked. An artist at their session, or a guest who came with them, can spin during the session, or after it if no other session is booked.

  • By request. DM @thetombstudio on Instagram or email contact@thetombstudio.com. Requests sent any other way don't count.

  • Requested spins happen on Tuesdays. Requests received by 4:00 PM on a Tuesday are spun at that day's team meeting (4 to 6 PM). Later requests roll to the next Tuesday. The remaining dates are November 10, 17 and 24.

  • We record it for you. Staff record each requested spin and send you the video. You can also come by during the Tuesday 4 to 6 PM window and spin it yourself.

  • Canceled meeting. If a Tuesday meeting is canceled, that week's requested spins still happen by that Saturday.

Spin rules

  • One spin per person per week. A spin counts toward the week it happens in (Tuesday to Monday).

  • Last chance. The last request deadline is 4:00 PM Tuesday, November 24. In-person spins end November 30, and there are no spins in December.

  • Every spin is final. You keep whatever the wheel lands on, whether or not you can use it. There are no re-spins.

  • Same odds for everyone. Everyone spins the same wheel. Booking sessions, paying or logging hours never adds spins or changes the odds.

Wheel prizes and odds

Every spin wins one of 9 prizes on a 12-slice wheel. Three prizes take two slices each, so half of all spins land on one of those three.

  • $10 off coupon: 2 slices, 1 in 6 odds per spin, $10 value

  • 10% off coupon: 2 slices, 1 in 6 odds per spin, 10% of one booking (no cap)

  • Playlist placement: 2 slices, 1 in 6 odds per spin, no cash value

  • $20 off coupon: 1 slice, 1 in 12 odds per spin, $20 value

  • 20% off coupon: 1 slice, 1 in 12 odds per spin, 20% of one booking (no cap)

  • Free 30-minute session extension: 1 slice, 1 in 12 odds per spin, $30 value

  • Tomb Stu Tee: 1 slice, 1 in 12 odds per spin, $25 value

  • Premade beat (lease): 1 slice, 1 in 12 odds per spin, $50 value

  • Alternative mix pack: 1 slice, 1 in 12 odds per spin, $90 value

Wheel prizes must be locked in by December 5, 2026. How each prize works is under Prize details.

What counts as an hour

Hours prizes count completed, paid session time with participating engineers from November 3 to 30.

  • Participating engineers: LOAD, Doof, 10k and Drxzzy. No engineers will be added during the contest.

  • Participating producers (beat prizes): Henry and Rod.

  • Hours go to the artist who booked the session, on the session date.

  • Each week's session time is added up, then full hours count. Two 1.5-hour sessions in one week count as 3 hours.

  • Monthly totals add up all session time from November 3 to 30, then count full hours.

  • Only paid time counts. Sessions paid with a discount code still count. Free time doesn't, including prize hours, free 30-minute extensions and the unpaid break on sessions of 8 hours or more.

  • Hours come from the studio's booking and payment records.

Weekly winner

After each week ends, the artist with the most hours that week picks 1 weekly prize. You need at least 2 hours that week to win.

  • You can win the weekly prize once in November. After a win, you're skipped for later weeks, and the next-highest artist with 2 or more hours wins instead. Your hours still count toward the Top 3.

  • If no eligible artist reaches 2 hours in a week, there is no weekly winner that week.

Weekly prizes

  • Mix & master, song recorded elsewhere ($150 value): Stems from another studio or a home studio, up to 20 stems.

  • Custom beat ($100 value): Exclusive rights, made by a participating producer.

  • Mix & master, song recorded at The Tomb ($100 value): One song recorded at The Tomb Studio.

  • 1 free studio hour ($60 value): Noon to 4 PM sessions only.

  • Post on all studio socials (no cash value): Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, Threads, YouTube and the studio Discord (not SoundCloud).

Weekly prizes must be locked in by December 5, 2026.

Top 3 winners

After November 30, the 3 artists with the most total hours win $1,165 in prizes between them. There's no minimum, so everyone who booked with a participating engineer is ranked.

  • Every Top 3 winner gets a Tomb Stu Tee ($25).

  • 1st place picks first: 1 content prize and 2 other prizes. 2nd place picks next, and 3rd place gets what's left.

  • Weekly winners can also win the Top 3.

Content prizes (pick 1)

  • 15-minute interview ($250 value): Shot horizontally for YouTube.

  • Mic drop video ($150 value): One song, shot horizontally for YouTube.

  • Promo video ($100 value): Up to 60 seconds, shot vertically for social media.

Other prizes (pick 2)

  • 2 recording hours ($120 value): Noon to 4 PM sessions only.

  • Custom beat ($100 value): Exclusive rights, made by a participating producer.

  • Mix & master, song recorded at The Tomb ($100 value): One song recorded at The Tomb Studio.

  • Alternative mix pack ($90 value): For a song already mixed and mastered at The Tomb.

  • Tomb Time admission ($80 value): Saturday, January 30, 2027, 4 to 10 PM.

Top 3 prizes must be locked in by December 31, 2026.

Tiebreaker

If artists tie on hours, for a weekly prize or the Top 3, the artist who reached the tied total first wins. That's measured by the end time of the session that brought them to that total. Only one session runs at a time, so this always settles a tie.

Winners, claiming and deadlines

We contact winners directly, and every prize must be locked in by its deadline or it expires.

  • How you'll hear. In-person wheel winners get their prize on the spot where possible. Request winners get their spin video and prize through the DM or email they used. Weekly and Top 3 winners are contacted through their booking contact info.

  • Respond within 3 days. If a winner doesn't respond within 3 days of being contacted, the prize is forfeited. A forfeited weekly or Top 3 prize may go to the next eligible artist.

  • Lock it in. A prize counts as used once it's claimed, booked or scheduled. The session, shoot or event itself can happen later.

  • Wheel and weekly prizes: lock in by 11:59 PM Saturday, December 5, 2026.

  • Top 3 prizes: lock in by 11:59 PM Thursday, December 31, 2026.

Each prize is delivered by the studio or a participating engineer or producer, on these terms.

  • Discount coupons ($10 off, $20 off, 10% off, 20% off). We make a one-time code and send it to you. It works on one session or service booked at thetombstudio.com. Percentage codes have no cap, and codes can't be combined with other codes or discounts.

  • Playlist placement. One week on the matching Spotify playlist, starting the day after your spin. You need a song released on Spotify.

  • Free 30-minute extension. Added to the end of a session when the next time slot is open.
