WIN AN iPAD IN THE TFEA MEMBERSHIP CONTEST
The coolest techno-gadget on the market could be yours by simply sharing the TFEA experience with those you know!
TFEA will give away a new iPad, a $500 value, to the winner of its membership contest. Each TFEA member who recruits three new members by September 30, 2010, will be entered into a drawing to win the iPad. For every two members you recruit above the original three, your name will go into the drawing again. Other prizes will also be awarded to those who qualify.
Open your contact manager (and think how cool your contacts will look on your new iPad!) and make some calls. Share the story of how TFEA benefits you with your festival colleagues and suppliers who are not members. And watch your chances of winning grow!
