Step 1: Like and tag two friends you would like to travel to the WOF Awards Ceremony with if you won the Grand Prize on the social post where you heard about the Contest.

 

Step 2: Follow the official Galaxy Press @galaxy_press Instagram account, like the post promoting the Readers of the Future Contest.

Step 1: is this on Facebook? I don't know which social post it's referring to, or which contest? All of WOTF? Or this specific one? I didn't hear about either on social media ? Also we have to tag two people but can only bring one? I feel like that's forcing us to hurt someone's feelings.

Step 2: I can't find a post promoting "Readers of the Future Contest" - could we get a link?

@ease 

 

Its on the galaxypress twitter feed

If you need someone extra to tag, you can tag me as I won't be offended if you don't take me as I can't go anyway ? 

@gideonpsmith on twitter

Then you only need to tag the person you are taking and not upset another

Sorry for the confusion. It is on the Galaxy Press Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/GalaxyPress

As far as tagging people we are just trying to spread the word and share the news so the more people you tag the better...

Ends on 17 April so we don't have much time...

Sorry, the only way to attend the workshop is to win... Or as we call it "pro out", become a judge, and then teach it. (Like Kevin J. Anderson did.) 

However, if you win the trip you would be able to mingle with everyone at the event, which would be a treat for sure!

Thanks for the update @jason. Oddly it appears that I haven't received that email (I've checked my 'Spam' folder, too). Oh well! 

Congratulations to Tyler Tarter!
