Win a private dinner with The Parlotones
Recently Afrigator teamed up with The Parlotones and Hands on Wine to create a unique social stream for the launch of their new wine – Giant Mistake. While we at Afrigator had fun working with the guys the real reason we did it was so that we could secure some cool prizes for you.
The Parlotones are currently on a world tour to promote their new album, Stardust Galaxies, but when they return the band would like to have dinner with you. Yes you!
Two lucky bloggers (one from Cape Town and one from Johannesburg), along with their partners, will each win a private dinner with the band where you’ll get to drink lots of Giant Mistake and chat about anything your heart desires.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to dine with one of South Africa’s best selling rock bands and entering couldn’t be simpler. We warn you though, it’s time to get creative!
To enter this competition all you need to do is create a post about the Giant Mistake wine on your blog. We want you to be as creative as possible so feel free to write a haiku, post a captivating photo or create a funny video. There are no boundaries to this competition and the most creative posts will win.
You have from now until the end of October 2009 to get creative and you can enter as many times are you like. So, make sure you read the rules of the competition below and get cracking!!!
