The Twangfest Flickr Contest!

Roy — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 03:13:30 +0000

Twangfest loves Flickr and so do you. So this year, we want you to give us your best shot—of Twangfest performers, fans, events, parties and/or general twang craziness. You’ll have a chance to win a Twangfest 13 poster and a Twangfest or KDHX t-shirt!

Here’s how it works: Take some great photos at Twangfest 13, upload them to Flickr, and tag them with “twangfest” and “kdhx.” After the festival, we’ll peruse them all and a panel of Twangfest judges will choose the most fantastic photo as our winner. The photographer will get the swag!

KDHX and Twangfest staff are not eligible for this contest.

See you at Twangfest! And don’t forget your camera!
