mike's totally free jeep news (no link required, you're already here!) is proud to announce our first contest! Thanks to the generous folks putting on the Jeep World Outside Festival, you could be the winner of 1 of 5 pairs of tickets to the show of your choice!

What is the Jeep World Outside Festival? It's an 23-city music/interactive-adventure sports tour that kicks off July 10 at Charlotte, North Carolina’s Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre. You'll see artists such as Sheryl Crow, Train, Ziggy Marley, O.A.R., and Tonic (not to mention about 10 other musical acts). You'll also be able to spend the day in the Outside Magazine Adventure Village, while professional athletes will be on site to provide hands-on instruction in a variety of adventure activities including kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding and scuba diving.

How can you win free tickets? Just fill out the form on the left and hit the button! On July 8, we'll choose 5 random winners! Each winner will recieve a pair of tickets to the show of their choice (see the list of shows on the left as well).

So what does Jeep have to do with all this? Other than top-billing on the name of the festival - not much. We're sure they'll be some heavy Jeep-related promotions and most likely some product placement opportunities in the adventure village, but it looks like the Jeep World Outside Festival is all about music and adventure.

We'd be remiss to to mention the festival's sponsors, including Outside Magazine, Jeep, REI, fye, and Finesse.

Enter today and good luck!
