Lucky me has a pair of tickets to give away courtesy of vitaminwater Canada. One astoundingly lucky winner will get a pair of tickets to the show, all you have to do are the following by NOON Sunday, October 16, 2011 (12:00pm EST):

• List all of the reasons why you deserve to go with a +1 to the upcoming show
• LIKE urbanebloc on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/urbanebloc. I’ll be checking!
• Link me on Twitter @urbanebloc by sending me the following message: “Make me tickled fuschia by choosing me to go to the @HoltRenfrew #LGFW show, courtesy of @vitaminwater_ca!“
• Not to worry, if you don’t have a Twitter then just recommend the fan page to 5 friends on Facebook.
• Note that this lady can’t accommodate for transportation, open only to Torontonians!

And that’s it – winner will be chosen at random, may the luckiest person win! See you there, bloc-sters.

This is a call to arms! I’m working with @StellaArtoisCan (or Facebook.com/StellaArtoisCanada) to drum up some votes for #ScarboroughDonMills (y’know, the area north of the 401 for the Toronto readers). All you have to do? Vote on their fan page here for GTA East to get the suburban folks a run at the biggest block party of the summer in August. Don’t worry, you’ll also have a chance to attend the block party as well.

Get to voting, cause @urbanebloc asked you to ;)

Dad’s day is quickly approaching (silly me, I thought it was this week), and lucky for you, there’s time for a little giveaway so you can be set and worry free for the faja. No stranger to Dove Men+Care, here’s another wonderful iteration in celebration for Father’s Day 2011. While Dove Men+Care is launching their own contest, the Dove Men+Care All-Star Dad Search, you’ll have your own opportunity to win a package straight from Dove themselves.

On urbanebloc.com, until June 15th you’ll have the chance to win a gift set including the items above (may not be exact items pictured).

FIRST: “LIKE” us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/urbanebloc. Sharing is caring – much appreciated if you can help spread the good word. Open only to Canadian Residents.

SECOND: Leave me a comment on this post letting me know why your dad is an all star.

If you’re inkling for some other prizing and you’ve missed the June 15th drop date, you can still participate in Dove’s All-Star Dad Search. Here are the details:

It doesn’t matter if fathers are pro-athletes, investment bankers or teachers; in the eyes of their families and Dove they are All-Stars because they care. To celebrate this special man, Dove is asking Canadians to submit a photo and a short story that demonstrates why their partner, father, cousin, uncle, etc. is an All-Star Dad.

Prizing
Dove Men+Care will be giving away some exciting prizes to the top-20 All-Star Dads, and 3 finalists will be chosen to win an exclusive CFL VIP package that includes flights, accommodation and tickets for their entire family to attend the 2011 Grey Cup game.

How To Enter
The Dove All-Star Dad Search Contest runs from May 17th – June 30th, at www.facebook.com/dove.

Hello Urbanebloc readers!

I know that we’ve been very bad bloggers (tsk tsk). Between crazy work projects (boring) and road trips across the west coast (exciting!), we have been sort, kind of, neglecting the blog. So to say we’re sorry, we have a giveaway!

[3] lucky Urbanebloc readers will win a pair of tickets for The Clothing Show taking place at Exhibition Place from May 27 – 29th. For those who aren’t familiar, the show has over 300 booths featuring clothing and accessories from local Canadian designers and vintage collections.

Want to win? Here are a couple ways:

1. Tweet us: “Hey @urbanebloc, I want to go to The Clothing Show because ___________________. #clothingshow”

2. Visit us on Facebook and leave a comment telling us why you’d love to attend.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. The winners will be announced on May 25th, so be sure tweet or Facebook us before then.

Bonjour wonderful friends. I’m on a giveaway spree (and by that I mean…this is number two. Trust though – there’s more more more coming). Hope Rising is a fundraising event that’s happening next week (May 3rd, as indicated on the poster above). As made aware by the Dare to Wear Love fashion show series at LGFW, the Stephen Lewis Foundation is an organization supports community-based organizations working to turn the tide of HIV/AIDS in Africa. They’re a brilliant bunch that put together creative and phenomenal experiences, and I’m all for it. With that, I’m here to spread a little cheer in thanks to friends at Rock It Promo, to giveaway 1 PAIR OF TICKETS to this amazing line up next week.

READER: “Hey, Gloria, gimmie gimmie!”

Sure!

1) LIKE urbanebloc.com on Facebook. www.facebook.com/urbanebloc.

2) Tweet me a little something. Ex. “@urbanebloc Make me a part of #HopeRising with @stephenlewisfdn, @aliciakeys @iamknaan @rufuswainwright @angeliquekidjo!

That’s about it! Get to LIKE-ing and Tweet-ing, giveaway ends April 30th, open to Torontonians only (sorry Canadians, I love you all but the plane tickets aren’t quite able to pay for themselves).

Cheers and sparkles.
