Bumbershoot Contests
Survey Contest
WOW! BumberFans are a hardy bunch of music and arts fans, and we thank them all for braving Seattle's fickle weather to spend Bumbershoot weekend with us! Sometimes sunny, sometimes wet, but always chocked full of memories in the making, it was definitely the best way we know to end our summer vacation. And even though Bumbershoot just wrapped, we're already thinking about how we're going to top ourselves next year. Do you know 2010 will be our 40th festival? Help us make it the best ever! Take our Bumbershoot Survey by September 27, and as a thank you, we'll enter your name into a drawing for a pair of Gold Passes to Bumbershoot 2010.
Music Lounge Contest
The Bumbershoot Music Lounge returns with a series of intimate performances from some of the Festival's brightest stars, all of which will be broadcast live on 90.3 KEXP/KEXP.org during Bumbershoot weekend. The only way to get access to this secret stage is at KEXP.org, or enter to win right here at bumbershoot.org. Winners will receive a pair of day-specific tickets to Bumbershoot, plus passes to every Music Lounge performance that day!
Food for Thought Contest
Bumbershoot invites anyone who loves food and stories to compose a short essay (no more than 500 words) focused on a memorable food experience—pleasant, or not so much. Have you cooked a treasured family recipe with disastrous results? Do you recall your beloved grandmother with the merest scent of freshly baked bread? Did you hear family secrets spilled around the Thanksgiving table, or travel to a far corner of the world in search of an exotic morsel? We all have stories to tell about food, so start dishing!
Twitter Contest
Each week since the middle of June we have been picking a Bumber-Tweeter to receive an official Bumbershoot 2009 poster, just as a thanks for helping us spread the good word about the Festival on Twitter! All ten semi-finalists' names were put into a hat, and we drew out one to reward for their thoughtful Tweets and ReTweets with a pair of 3-day passes to Bumbershoot.
