I have been incredibly busy lately, but I think I’m ready to play catch-up with Ben and his news/travels. Thank you to everyone who has linked me over the past week or so.

Exciting news! We’ve just received three promotional CDs from CineMedia, a public relations company hired to promote the Prince Caspian Soundtrack in the US. We’re keeping one for ourselves, but the other two will be given away in two contests on the site!
The first contest is simple. One CD will be given away to a commenter on this post! Simply comment to this post with a name and valid e-mail (very important—if we don’t have your e-mail, we can’t contact you for your address), and your name will be in the drawing! Only one entry per person, and this contest will run through the weekend—so on Tuesday we will announce the winner.
The second contest will be to reward forum activity. On June 15th, 2007, we will pick the most active member of the Ben Barnes Forum to win the second CD! If you want to win, you will need to make legitimate posts—spam, gibberish, and gossip are already against forum rules, so they don’t qualify for forum activity. But you may talk about ANYTHING Ben-related. To register for the forum, click here.
Shipping in these contests is free for all residents of the continental U.S. International fans may feel free to enter, but we may need to collect additional shipping costs—we’re willing to pay up to $10.00 US, but beyond that we’ll need to talk a paypal exchange, etc.
