If you have a valid U. S. passport, are a MySpace member, are over 18, and have always wanted to attend a red carpet premiere of a Johnny Depp movie, the My Space site for SWEENEY TODD has a very tempting proposition for you! The “SWEENEY TODD Ultimate Johnny Depp Fan Sweepstakes” promises “a chance to meet Johnny Depp at the global premiere” (in a city to be named later–no details yet on the premiere); the winner will receive coach airfare for two from the nearest major airport to the premiere city, two nights lodging, round trip ground transportation to and from the airport, and two tickets to the SWEENEY TODD premiere (note it is for the film only, not the afterparty). The contest is open now and will close on Sunday, December 9, 2007 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time. To enter, simply log in to your MySpace profile, then visit the Sweepstakes website at http://tinyurl.com/2w5oxq Follow the onscreen instructions to add the Sweepstakes profile as a “Friend” and presto–you are entered in the Sweepstakes. You may enter only once in the Sweepstakes period.

Please note . . . the winner must be at least 18 years old and must possess a valid United States passport, which certainly implies travel outside U.S. borders will be required. The prize is not transferable, so don’t enter unless you are prepared to travel over the holidays–you won’t be able to auction your prize on Ebay and pay off your mortgage. The winning entry will be drawn on December 17, 2007 and the Sweepstakes may take up to 5 days to notify the winner; the winner then has 72 hours to reply before an alternate winner is selected. You can read all the Sweepstakes rules on the website listed above.

This is a fantastic opportunity for adults with a MySpace page and a valid passport–take a shot and you may have the New Year’s surprise of a lifetime. Thanks to Emma and FANtasticJD for the Sweepstakes information, and good luck to all the Zone’s readers! May there be a global premiere in your future. –Part-Time Poet
