Hi all!

I didn’t run competitions for a while – despite being asked sometimes – because the shorter format of the Dublin Event Guide makes it a little more difficult, but I am trying it out this week and hopefully you like it.

The first competition is a little different than usually. I am using a software platform to run the competition and you can get additional entries when you spread the word. It is a competition for an event that means a lot to me. Some of you might know that I am involved with the Gardiner Street Gospel Choir and we will have a big
+ 20th Anniversary Concert on 08 March in the Button Factory (19:30-22:00). You can buy tickets via this link gturl.eu/GospelConcert (EUR 20/15+fees). Our 35 people strong Gospel Choir will perform a great variety of Gospel Music songs with our 6 piece band. And we even got Ronan O Snodaigh from Kila to be our guest act! It will be a great gig! ;-)
I have two pairs of tickets for a competition and to take part you just have to go to gturl.eu/GospelCompetition and all is explained there. Enter before midnight on 03 March.

The second competition is for an International Women’s Day event:
+ “Powerdela – Here’s to strong women” is an event with networking reception, finger food, music and inspiring speakers on Sun 08 March 15:00-21:00. It will take place in The Loft @ 4 Dame Lane, 4 Dame Lane, Dublin 2 and all details are here www.eventbrite.ie/e/92375793485 Tickets are EUR 20+fees. The great organisers from the Brazilian Professional Network Ireland have made 5 tickets available for Dublin Event Guide readers. To enter send an e-mail to dublineventguide@gmail.com with your name and phone number and with POWERDELA in the subject line of the mail. Your mail has to be with me by 03 March 19:00

You might remember that I appealed to you last week to help the Dublin Event Guide and you did help! Thanks to everyone who made the effort, you are some exceptional and wonderful bunch of people! :-)

If you didn’t get a chance last week OR if you are so wonderful to help again, the great news is that the simplest form of help doesn’t cost you a cent and can be done with just a couple of clicks.

And this is how easy it is:
Just go to www.DublinEventGuide.com and at the top you will find the sentence “Is this what you were looking for?”. Right below that sentence you should find a rectangular ad. Please click on it!
The ad might change every time you open/refresh the page, so I can’t tell you what it is promoting. If you don’t see an ad there, please turn your Ad Blocker off and refresh the page and then do the clicking. ;-) Thanks, it REALLY helps!

If you click on the ad, I get between 5 and 20 cent. That is not much, but if enough people help, it will do the job to cover the cost to keep the Dublin Event Guide going.

And here are three other ways to help if they work better for you, they are not free, but help even more:
First: You can donate directly via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide (any amount is appreciated!!)
Second: You can “Buy Me a Coffee” here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG
Third: For the Revolut people among you it is super easy via 0872931571.

And here are the events: All events are sorted by start time, but watch out for the few events that have a “++” in front of them, the are particularly recommended. ;-) ALL events in this list are free, but some require booking! The market events that take place every week are only posted to people that have subscribed and on the website at www.dublineventguide.com
