Contests

Here’s details for three exciting contests we’re hosting:

The Violet Burning album giveaway – Sting Like A Bee And Sing.
10 copies of the album will be given away here. Wouldn’t you like to win one? If you know the band, trust me, it’s a live album with a whole bunch of their great songs. To enter, just send an encouraging email to me at contestathmmagdotcom and you’ll be entered. We’ll randomly pick 10 people and send the winners the music from thevioletburning.com website.

Here’s what staff writer Dan MacIntosh (HM Magazine) thought of the new album:

The Violet Burning, one of Christian rock’s greatest unsung heroes…

The one-two combination of “Underwater” and “Low” is so powerful…. Yes, they’re that deep, that good.

Christian music never should have devolved into Christian propaganda…if Christian radio….sickens you, The Violet Burning might just be your cure.

The Living Sacrifice concert ticket giveaway:

We are teaming up with our cover band for the next issue and giving away 5 pairs of tickets (a pair in 5 different markets to spread the love around). This one involves “pimping” out your web page (MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, etc) and sending me a photo or screen shot of your page with all things LS…

You’ll be put on the guest list, meet the band and get a shirt (& see a killer show). To enter this one, it’s going to take some work on your part. That’s right, we’re asking you to “pimp” your site with all things LS:

1) make your profile pic The Infinite Order album cover (download it here … or right-click the image and “save as”)

2) put the single, “Rules of Engagement,” up for streaming on your space (available at the LS MySpace site);

3) email me a photo or screen shot of your MySpace, Facebook or Twitter feed about the LS album.

And another cool pre-Christmas contest we’re having is that we’re also giving away a cool Sanyo Incognito SCP-6760 and a Laylo M1400 phone. To enter, you must send an email to contest-at-hmmag-dot-com and answer this question correctly: What was the name of the Kyocera contest that gave 12 aspiring young film makers the chance of a lifetime to film a “rockumentary” backstage at last summer’s free music festival, Virgin Freefest?
