Wild Goose Bumps Contest!

By Uncategorized

Wild Goose Bumps
Wild Goose Bumps. Ever had them? It’s that feeling you get at the Wild Goose Festival when you experience something powerful, memorable, transformative. The speaker who opens your mind to a new idea. The prayer that touches your heart. The compassionate conversation by a campfire. The song that makes you sing along.

What gives you Wild Goose Bumps? We’re eager to know.

In fact, we’ve put together a Wild Goose Bumps contest to encourage you to share. All we need is a few sentences describing or a photo depicting a moment that you experienced at Wild Goose that changed you. Or, if you’ve never been to the festival, let us know what is inspiring you to attend. With permission, we’ll post your entry on social media with the hashtag #wildgoosebumps.

The winner of the contest will receive an epic “Wild Goose Swag Bag” full of goodies and gratitude. To enter, email promotions@wildgoosefestival.org. The deadline to enter is Friday, May 9th.

And if you don’t have your tickets to this year’s festival yet, NOW IS THE TIME to buy them! We promise this year’s festival will be profound, and profoundly fun!
