The Ultimate Festival Competition with Kendal Calling

It's one of the nation's favourite festivals, with Kendal Calling once again selling out in record time ahead of its ten year anniversary from Thursday 30th July to Sunday 2nd August.

This year Elbow, Snoop Dogg (check out his latest smash 'Peaches N Cream' below), James, Kaiser Chiefs and The Vaccines are the five headliners and, even if you don't have a ticket, we could be sending you there for free.

We're running a huge competition for the festival, teaming up with two of its partners in Regatta and Virgin Trains to offer you the ultimate Kendal Calling prize.

We'll kit you out with all the equipment you need for the weekend AND even hook you up a seat on the amazing Kendal-ino Express – the first ever festival on a train featuring headline performances from Beardyman and Black Rivers plus drinks and festival registration to get you there in style. Here's what is up for grabs:

2 Tickets to Kendal Calling 2015

2 Tickets on the Kendal-ino Express from Manchester Piccadilly to Penrith, including transfer to festival site (full details below)

Sound good? Well to ensnare this great prize we need you to justify it with photographic evidence of why you deserve to be the person we send to the lake district in July. Simply upload your picture of you showcasing your festival credentials to either Instagram or Twitter with the right caption:

Instagram: 'I want @skiddleuk to send me to @kendalcalling with @virgintrainsuk @regattaonline because #weekendsmatter' 

Twitter: 'I want @skiddle to send me to @kendalcalling with @virgintrains @regattaonoline because #weekendsmatter'

You can be as creative as you want with the entries, so whether it's you diving into the mud, rocking the finest home-made flag mid performance or capturing the most beautiful sunset surrounded by fellow festival goers - we want to see it. We'll constantly retweet and repost the best ones before picking an outright winner on Wednesday 10th June. Good luck!
