HOW TO BE A WINNER

2 Comments

If you as a fan of the Eurovision song contest, want to be in line to win one of the compilation CD’s especially created to celebrate the 60th EUROVISION show, this is what you will have to do.

There are about 100 copies available for ordinary fans although the majority will go to OGAE Rest of the world fans/members but there will be some available to other fans.

You have to go to our page CONTACT US and write your name and e-mail address and then say which of the 6 compilations you would like to get if you are a winner, so you say compilation 2 or 5 or whatever.

Then you indicate

1 – if you are a member/fan of OGAE Rest of the world or NOT

2 – whether you are going to be physically in Vienna as it is much easier handing the compilations there to people

That is all you have to do – so enter and good luck to be part of a small group of people who will have a very special souvenir.

In total there are just 180 compilations but 67 are being handed to the artists taking part in the Vienna event and about 13 go to other specially identified people. So just 100 ordinary fans will walk away with one such souvenir.

It is time for the 5th cover in our series of the 6 compilation CD’s of celebrate the fact that EUROVISION has reached 60th shows. Our theme is bridges and Gerry of the USA designed a fantastic series of covers, using famous bridges in 6 Rest of the world countries. These 6 were picked as they present the 6 countries with the most members of our club. We already has South Africa, Australia, United States of America and Costa Rica. Would you have guessed correctly from which country comes the 5th bridge? It is Venezuela

In 2013 when Eurovision was in Malmö, we had this compilation available. There has been demand for it again since Måns Zelmerlöw is coming to Eurovision for Sweden and his CARA MIA cover is on this. So I have agreed to make a few more copies available of this compilation in Vienna in the Euro Fan Café.
