I absolutely love music festivals. I would be hard pressed to come up with a better way to spend my weekend than enjoying a cornucopia of awesome bands.

There is something almost mythical about a killer festival.  Just envisioning it brings a smile to my visage.  Thousands of people rocking out, playing some hackeysack, throwing a frisbee, dancing wildly, or napping on a blanket with the smell of freshly ground oregano permeating the surrounding air.

So I present this question to you: Do you want to come to the Ontario Virgin Festival at Burl’s Creek Park Molson Amphitheatre (Thanks Chris)? The line-up includes Nine Inch Nails (on their last tour!), Ben Harper, Franz Ferdinand, the Pixies, Our Lady Peace, and many more killer musical acts.

All you have to do is tell us why you and a friend deserve to go to V-Fest.  I will put no further limitations on the contest. You can send a video, an essay, a drawing, a lipstick-smudged napkin with your phone number - whatever you think is going to separate you from the pack.  We will pick the top 5 entries and send them two weekend passes to Ontario’s Virgin Fest going down August 29-30!

Email us with your entry and your address and I will send you a reply to let you know that we got it.  The contest closes on August 17th so send us your entries soon!

I look forward to seeing your submissions. Creativity and effort are the key. And I know what you’re thinking: Does partial nudity help or hurt my chances?

Well, nudity killed this girl’s career, but it launched this girl’s career.

So I guess you have a tough decision to make. Godspeed.
