    A great opportunity to meet new friends or get in touch with old ones: KING OF THE SPAM gives you the chance to be a part of the wonderful world of viral marketing. Make use of all social networks, friends lists, email databases etc, and spread some love! Invite everyone you know to the official Facebook Event Page, and encourage them all to do the same. Use a (whiteboard, not permanent) marker and spread the word graffiti style. Get yourself a blank shirt and make yourself your own walking billboard. Write the website details down in the dust on peoples windshields. Find gig guide listing websites and submit the details. Get proactive. Take lots of screen shots and photos as proof. We’ll be monitoring to see who makes the biggest individual impact in their local regions.
    Be effective, but not invasive. Avoid spamming to the point of annoyance, damaging personal property, or sending out any negative vibrations when handling the name of the tour / band. We’re also not responsible for any legal or financial consequences of your actions, so don’t use this as an excuse for anarchy, and keep yourself out of trouble.
    Prize: We’ll be giving free tickets to the individuals who make a noticable impact  with their personal advertising campaigns. We’ll also change the title to ‘Queen’ of the Spam, should be of a female persuasion. We might have one or two little things to offer to those who really stand out the most. Get to work. Your aim is to get noticed.
