UPDATE: Win £1,500 worth of shared office space rental.
Summer's here, although saying that alone has probably jinxed the bank holiday weekend to three days of drizzle.
For budding entrepreneurs, the weekend offers some time free of distractions to focus on developing their startups, which is why the London Startup Weekend, sounds intriguing.
The team at Startup Weekend have very kindly offered Chinwag readers a chance to win two tickets to the event (enter here), and if you can't wait there's also a special 25% discount (use code chinwag00).
The aim of Startup Weekend is to develop new ideas that they want to see brought to life. Over the weekend teams work together to take the ideas and create real new ventures.
Speakers include Charlie Osmond (Freshminds) and Alicia Navarro (Skimlinks) and Kevin Farrar (IBM Global Entrepreneur Leader).
Anyone with an idea or interest in being an entrepreneur is welcome. People with a background in developing for web or mobile, design skills, marketing experience or entrepreneurial talents are welcome.
Teams have even started to generate revenue during the 54hr event, and others have gone on to direct angel and VC investment. None of this takes into account the amazing networking, ongoing professional relationships, and amazing experience that happen at every event. In 2010, more Startup Weekend events are being planned for the UK.
To win the tickets, simply fill out the form below and we'll let you know on Wednesday (2nd June) whether you're one of the lucky recipients.
Can't Wait? Grab your tickets now. For more info and to register, check out London Startup Weekend event info. Don't forget to use the code 'chinwag00' to get a 25% discount.
Sorry, this competition is now closed
Obligatory small print: Judges decision is final. No cash equivalent. Draw takes place on Wed 2nd June. No data will be sold or passed on, entrants will be added to Chinwag's email newsletters. Any questions? Drop us a line.
