Nutty chocolate types run comp for free Download 2006 stuff
disnews by DiS News August 15th, 2005
Snickers is offering would-be graphic artists the chance to blag their way into next year's Download Festival. What's more, they'll pop the winners into a hotel so the elements needn't be braved, and treat 'em like a VIP alongside the various rock bods and boobs.

What 'ee have to do is go here and design the chocolateers a new wrapper for their nutty snacks. There are other prizes available, like backpacks, the chance to open the festival, and a VIP trip for two to the 2006 Fusion Soul Bowl event at the US open Surf Championships in Huntington Beach, California.

So, if you're handy with an airbrush, probably worth a go, eh? The winning design will get itself onto some 18 million bars of chocolate, which can't be bad for aspiring designers.

Closing date is 29 September 2005. Only three designs per entrant will be accepted, and the offer is only open to UK residents aged 16 or over.

DiScuss: Weren't Snickers bars bigger when they were called Marathons?
