Win! Win Something Good! The Really, Really Simple Once Competition

If you would like one of three copies of the soundtrack CD for Once, all you have to do is jump through a couple of wide, low hoops. This won't be tricky at all.

First of all, you need to live in the UK. That's so easy, even I can do it. Okay, maybe that's a slightly higher, narrower hoop, but it's hardly a flaming one.

Secondly, you need to reply to one of the film ick daily newsletters. There's a subscription form in the right hand column if you haven't signed up yet, and as soon as you've signed up and replied to the confirmation e-mail (check your bulk!) you'll start getting one e-mail a day from the site keeping you fully up to date, not to mention eligible for contests and the like.

The newsletter you reply to needs to be either today's or one from any of the next four days. I need your reply by the time I go to bed on Thursday 18th October - so that'll be about 11pm GMT. All you need to put in the reply is your name, the words ONCE COMPETITION and the UK mailing address you'd like your CD sent to.

Once is released in cinemas across the UK on Friday 19th October; the US DVD is hitting in December; the rumoured-to-be-better UK DVD... well, in the new year.

This is well worth your effort because these songs were very possibly the best thing in a really rather good film. You can read my review from a while back now, if you need a little more convincing.
