The Golden Ticket

In a nod to the classic competition tiebreaker – “Complete the following phrase in no more than twenty words…” – we’re delighted to be running a competition to win a golden ticket for this year’s Build Conference.

The conference features presentations by, among others, Eric Meyer, Andy Budd, Mark Boulton and Tim Van Damme. In addition, over three, action-packed days attendees can avail of a variety of workshops, masterclasses and screenings. In short, there’s something for everyone.

A full conference pass retails at £200 and we’re delighted to have one to give away for free. A golden ticket if you will. So, what do you need to do to win?

Simple, just like the classic tiebreaker, we’d like to you complete the following phrase using 140 characters or fewer, follow @standardistas and post a tweet:

I deserve @standardistas Golden Ticket because…

We’re looking for something creative so get your thinking caps on (here are some tips to get you started). In addition to the one lucky, golden ticket winner, we’ll have two runner up prizes of a copy of our book. We’ll announce the winner on Friday afternoon.

Get started!
