CONTEST #1: SUMMER DAYZ ROAD TRIP
“This festival began because of an idea I had when I was 18 while on a road trip with a group of friends in Fall of 2003. If it wasn’t for that trip I wouldn’t be writing this and the festival wouldn’t be happening. That experience changed my life for the better.
In this spirit I want to make it possible for you to come to Los Angeles for the festival, in hopes of you having a similar experience.” – Sean Carlson, Organizer of the FYF Fest

CONTEST #2: KEEP THE PARKS ALIVE
On July 28, the Governor signed the state budget. It contained an additional $6M cut to state parks, bringing the total General Fund cut for this budget year to $14.2M. It is expected that this will result in the closure of more than 100 state parks.
The first contest we are planning is in conjunction with the California State Parks Foundation and is all about contacting your legislative representatives and the Governor to let them know how much California’s state parks mean to you. We are putting together some amazing prizes for those who draft and submit the best stories of their time spent at any of the 279 state parks across California. The grand prize winner will receive a gift bag consisting of records and CDs by the artists performing at the event, a huge care package including backpacks, watches, magazine subscriptions etc. and four VIP passes for the festival. Runner ups will receive passes to the festival.
This is how you do it:
1) Click this link to get to the take action center on the California State Park Foundation’s website: ga3.org/campaign/budget072909
3) Submit the letter
3) Forward the response letter that automatically gets sent to you to FYFContests@gmail.com and you are automatically entered in the contest.
4) For an extra special prize customize the letter and talk about the most fun you have ever had at a state park and send it with your entry letter.
The winners will be announced on Friday, Aug. 21st. So submit your memories and tell your Representatives to KEEP OUR STATE PARKS open.
We need to act now as the list of over 100 State slated for closure will be announced after September 1st!
