MORE THAN MUSIC / EXPERIENCES AT THE CAMP SITE
researchers will pay visits to the camps signed up for the Camp of the Year competition, judging criteria such as theme, activities, openness to strangers, atmosphere and that crazy little thing called edge. If you think your camp has what it takes, then sign up for the competition. The winning camp wins the honourable title ’Camp of the Year’ and up to six tickets to Roskilde Festival 2011. Send an SMS with the text camp followed by a short description of your camp to +45 42 40 90 19 (if you have a Danish service provider, then you can send to 1204) and you are in.
