Prizes up for grabs by all who attend BarcampJB


Today has been 2 months in the making. Barcamp JB is full steam ahead. I just thought the whole concept was fun, and it is. But only after going thru it all made me realise that this whole un-conference "conference" is finally taking shape. Things are looking good.



The venue is nicely done up, the chairs, tables and projectors are in place. The bunting and banners are up, the goody bags and paperwork stuff are being handled, everyones putting in the elbow grease. But hey... what do we have here hiding in this inconspicuous plastic bag? They look like some cool electronic items, would these be the rumoured prizes. Lets see.

BenQ 19" monitor, a couple 4GB & 8GB thumdrives, some really cool maxtor external hard disks, some wireless mice, an ipod shuffle, a blue tooth car receiver, an 3G iphone and a LV bag?

Oh this is cool. Not only do participants get to sit in on quality talks for free, they also get to win great prizes too. This must be the best deal in Singapore, Batam and some even say JB! Don't play play. The lucky draw mechanics are so simple i should have become an animal trainer and recruited a bunch of monkeys to help me win ALL the prizes... muahaha.. but thats not possible.

Anyway heres how anyone coming to BarcampJB can take part in the draw.

Step 1: Upon arrival at the Barcamp JB venue, go to the registration booth, register, pick up goody bag, pick up T-shirt and most importantly. TAKE YOUR LUCKY DRAW FORM.
Its only 1 piece per person, and if you lose it, tough luck then. And good luck counterfeiting the forms, as the latest ink jet fraud prevention measures are used. Either that, or we can throw any scammers off level 29.

Step 2: Visit the sessions you are interested in and vote for your favourite speaker, it would be a hard one as speakers too are in for the best speaker award.

Step 3: Drop the forms at the designated area by 3pm 7th Dec SUNDAY and the lucky draw winners will be drawn at 3:10pm Sunday itself.






Similarly, there is also a contest on-going throughout the event for the best photo submission. Dubbed "The Best SHOT @ BarcampJB" Thats easy to enter too, just make sure you bring along your cameras and snap away. All submitted pics for both saturday and sunday will be shortlisted by the judges.

Top 10 shots will be shortlisted by the judges, and voting will start on 2pm Sunday 7th December. Cool prizes are up for grabs so get that camera ready, the more expensive your camera, the more reason why you should take part in this contest.

However do remember, you have to be present when your name is called out. If you're not there, the prize goes to someone else. So you know the deal. Good Luck & have FUN!!!


P.S: LV bag pictured above not available as prize. bag has been redeemed by owner.
