Win a VIP Pass for two to YARNFest 2011 [closed]

To celebrate Bookhugger’s sponsorship of storytelling festival YARNFest 2011, we are pleased to announce a competition for one lucky winner to win a VIP pass that will admit two people to ALL of the YARN Events, as well as additional goodies from Bookhugger and participating authors and publishers.

So, here are the prizes:

  • VIP Pass for Two to all YARNFest Events – that’s eight events, from the 18th to the 23rd of February in and around Shoreditch, East London. See the full calendar
  • Two Bookhugger mugs with added chocs and Teapigs tea
  • To celebrate the event Cover Wars, a copy of Faber’s wonderful Eighty Years of Cover Design
  • Bestselling author Chris Cleave is participating in Illustrationarium – LIVE! and to celebrate we have a bundle of books from publisher Sceptre, including some of Chris’s titles
  • To celebrate the launch of Ten Stories About Smoking, by Stuart Evers, we have a signed copy of the book for the winner, along with a bundle of other titles from publisher Picador

Four runners up will receive copies of Ten Stories About Smoking.

Not a bad haul, and our VIPs will have opportunities to meet the talent at the events too!

Before we tell you how to enter, an important announcement: this is a competition to win event tickets, with some other goodies thrown in. Please DO NOT enter if you do not intend to use the tickets but only want to win the other prizes. To discourage this, most of the other prizes will be handed over to the winners at the events themselves.

So, what do you have to do to win? Answer this question, the answer to which is here on Bookhugger:

  • Which author, who is taking part in YARN’s Illustrationarium – LIVE! event, had a short story for children featured on Bookhugger in December – all about peas?!
