Contest - Cover Bloodstock

This blog is still so new, that I don't think I have too many readers in the UK yet... but...

Aspiring Journalists & Photographers...

You could cover the Bloodstock Open Air Festival for Epiphone instruments!

More information is available on their website, but the basic details are:

One photographer and one journalist will have the chance to win a Grand Prize package including media passes, camping tickets, catering passes, as well as Epiphone swag and other goodies... Photos and journalism covering the event will be published on Epiphone.com

If I were in the UK (or one of the other relevant eligible countries and could afford to make another international trip so soon after my last one!) I'd definitely be applying for this competition! What an amazing experience for an aspiring writer/photographer!

To enter, you'll need to supply some examples of your work - either photography or music reviews within their guidelines from a concert or show of any genre that you recently attended.

If you are already planning to head to Bloodstock, or could make the trip there if you won... entries must be submitted by July 24, 2013.  The competition is only open to residents of France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and the Netherlands, and you must be over 18 years of age, and have no criminal record.  There's a bunch of other rules too you can find on their website.

Bloodstock Open Air music festival is the UK's premier heavy metal festival, held at Catton Hall in Walton-Upon-Trent, England, August 8-11, 2013.  The current line-up includes heavy metal heavyweights like King Diamond, Accept, Lamb of God, Sabaton, Anthrax, Slayer, Devil Driver, Gojira, Firewind, Amorphis, 3 Inches of Blood and many, many more on four stages over four days.  Just check out the website for the full line-up.
