I love this! I can do a chutney prize? Does anyone want my wares? I don’t know.

Planning to visit London next year, think it might be quite hilarious if I told my girlfriend ‘I know you want to hang out with your mates and that, but how about we go on a guided tour of southeast London with some people from the internet, yeah?’ :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Great prizes, DiS is the best

are we making this open to just current DiS users? eg. i have friends that have read the main site, met people at wethercrawl, people who used to post ages but stopped

there’s so many good prizes i imagine it wouldn’t be too hard to get more tickets sold outside our bubble if desired

I will require a DiS username for anyone entering the raffle. I don’t know if anyone offering prizes with personal contact would be comfortable with people who are more strangers than board users winning their prizes? So the answer really is, I’m not sure. Tbh, the level of interest there has been is far more than I had anticipated and I think we will be raising a substantial amount of money anyway.

Just want to say that near on everything here is worthwhile, and it is going to take a good bit. Of time to have a think about what I’d want to ‘win’ assuming I do.

Thanks for all the comments on my gifts though. Quite excited to see what comes of them.

And this is absolutely brilliant and @sean, this is why the new boards are utterly fantastic. Ditching the old ones gave us this new one, and this is the result.

Prize: The DiS Top 5 Films of 2017 (DVD or Blu-ray)
Quantity : 1
Description : In either DVD or Blu-ray (your choice), the top 5 films of 2017, as voted for by community.drownedinsound.com
If you already have any of them, you can swap out for another film of your choice (provided it’s reasonably easily available, please don’t send me hunting for an out-of-print 1940s Korean film).
The top 5 were Moonlight, Get Out, Manchester By The Sea, Blade Runner 2049 and Raw, and if that lot doesn’t spell out festive family fun viewing then I don’t know what does.
Restrictions: None, but if you’re outside the UK then please specify if your discs need to be for a different region

Prize: A bespoke short story written by a published DiS author

Quantity : 1
Description : Winner will receive a bespoke short story, written especially for them, which can include up to FIVE references or ideas of the winner’s choice. For example, you can provide up to five names, locations, themes, situations, historical settings (historical boyfriends?), etc. – or none at all. Completed short story will be suitably high-brow/wanky and a minimum of 2,000 words long (and quite possibly many more!).

The prize-giver is a published author (as featured in such pretentious literary organs as Five Dials magazine). Once received, the short story is entirely yours to do with as you wish – cherish/share/publish/destroy/ridicule/pass off as your own/all of the above – as appropriate.
Restrictions: Please allow up to 3 months for completion of story, but hopefully sooner.
Short story will be written in English, chosen language of Donald Trump, Nigel Farage and Alan Shearer, but that’s nothing that Google Translate can’t fix!
