A - If you're coming to one of our Release The Bats shows dressed up you could be eligible for on-the-spot prizes of ATP goodies and also go into the running for a Polaroid PoGo Mobile Printer and a 6 berth chalet to the ATP Festival. You can dress as something traditionally spooky or as something to do with one of the bands. How to win:

STEP 1
Whilst you are at the shows, make sure you take a picture with either one of our roving photographers or at the Release The Bats Photo Booth.

STEP 2
Make sure you write your name, email address, phone number and a title for your costume on a form and give it to your photographer to match up with your photo.

FIRST ROUND OF PRIZES WILL BE AWARDED ON THE NIGHT. OUR TEAM OF PROFESSIONAL JUDGES WILL CHOOSE THE THREE BEST COSTUMES AND EACH WILL WIN PRIZES INCLUDING A POLAROID PoGo.

STEP 3
Check www.atpfestival.com/releasethebats after the event. All the pictures will be published on our Flickr account for everyone to see. If you'd like to give an explanation for your costume, you can leave it as a comment on your photo.

STEP 4
We'll choose a shortlist of the costumes we like the most and put them on the website. You will then be able to vote for your favourite.

FINAL ROUND OF PRIZES AWARDED:

Best overall costume (over all three events) – wins a six berth to an ATP Festival and a Polaroid PoGo.

THE WINNER OF BEST COSTUME LAST YEAR IS ABOVE (Kathryn Welch and Ronnie Kerswell, click to see bigger version). Thanks to Lomography for the awesome prizes they provided last year.

Q - What if I’m not a dressing up kind of person

A - Not going to dress up? Don’t fret, you could still win tickets to ATP. Spend the night taking some awesome photo’s. Please note we are mostly looking for OFF-STAGE photography skills, so don’t spend the night being the annoying person holding your camera up to the bands in front of everyone’s faces while they try and watch the show. When you get home, upload your best pics to www.flickr.com/groups/releasethebats2008 and afterwards a professional photographer will be choosing the best photograph.

Best Photo (over all three events) – wins a two berth chalet to an ATP Festival and a Polaroid PoGo

Q – I’m not dressing up and I’m rubbish with a camera, can I still win something?

A - Not going to wear a costume or take any photo’s at Release The Bats? You still have a chance to win a Polaroid PoGo. Just make sure you vote for best costume and you will be entered into a random draw to win a PoGo.

FREE PHOTO’S
Also, we are giving away free photo’s! At the shows just choose your favourite photo on your mobile phone or digital camera and take it to the Photobooth. As long as your phone or camera is compatible, we will connect it by usb or bluetooth and print out a copy of your photo for you on a Polaroid PoGo to take home. Free your photo’s from your camera! Come by the booth for a list of compatible phones and cameras. With thanks to Polaroid PoGo – check them out at www.polaroidpogo.co.uk
