@Thelon We are the 2nd country allow, hence the i and ii. We aren't part of the excluded list. (Hence why there is even a special section for Quebec). Pretty sure we need to answer a math question though. haha

I won't be there, I don't have either a twitter or instagram account, so you are excluding me from this. You need to add facebook.

Saoirse_Siobhan

Once again, only for US and Canada. We Europeans don't get any love =(

Seratopia

Really hate how everything nowadays revolves around needing certain social media to enter things. I don't have IG or twitter (or want it) so guess I'm out of luck. I wish you could enter by email as well for us simpler folks still left in the world.

Best of luck for those who do.

captainwolfos

US and Canada only, but I've still hashtagged it because apparently I have no self control.

Surely it's not difficult to allow EU entries? I'd happily pay the shipping if I won.
How disappointing.

Parablodia
