dontburnthepig.org is giving away an 8gb IPod Nano for July's Monthly Contest!

DBTP.org Photo Scavenger Hunt

Ever notice how everyday things remind you of DMB? Whether it's a street sign, store name, or just someone that looks like a band member? I'm sure we're all guilty of thinking of the band at the most random times! So let's put our obsessed minds to use for this month's DBTP contest!

If you like to take pictures...this contest is for you! 

Contest Rules

*All entries must include 4 photos, one from each category:

-Song Title
-Band Member
-Song Lyrics
-'Wildcard' DMB related photo

*Pictures may not be found on the internet or edited in anyway (such as with Photoshop).
They must be your own!

 
*Top entries will be chosen by the DBTP.org staff based on creativity and originality. These entries will then be voted on by all DBTP members.

Try not to pose pictures beyond a certain extent. Remember, creativity is the key! For example, shaping the number '41' out of peas and taking a picture would not be quite as creative as stacking together a bunch of watches and calling it a 'Watchtower'.

The Prizes

First Place: 8gb IPod Nano (3rd generation)
Second Place: A DMB Live Trax of your choice

How to Enter Contest & Submit Photos

1. Go to this thread on our forum and post your pictures OR

What is a Chatbox?

Think of it as an instant messenger for a group, rather than just 1 on 1 conversations. 

This Chatbox will be available to use on our forum for open discussion about various dmb related topics.

The chatbox will currently be available to use during DMB shows for setlist discussions.  

Chatbox Schedule - First show is on April 6th!!

To use the Chatbox you will need to be registered on our forum. If you are already registered, you can simply log on to the forum and click on the chatbox link at the top of the forum.
