Contest to win a Beatles photograph!



I am excited to announce the 1st contest for 2014 in celebration of the Beatles 50th anniversary of their arrival in America.     

Beatles photography collector and archivist, Vincent Vigil has been kind enough to donate five 8 x 10  prints taken from the original negative of the Beatles during the press conference held in Los Angeles at LAX in August 1964 just prior to the start of their North American tour.   Here is the photo and a youtube video where you can see the footage of when the photo was taken. 

This photograph can be yours!

Vincent has been making quite a name for himself as a Beatles archivist.   He began collecting vintage Beatles prints in the 1980’s and now has an outstanding collection of original Beatles photographs.  His photo collection has been showcased in several exhibits and he will be presenting a special Beatles 50th anniversary exhibit this year at the San Diego County Fair.    I am very proud to be able to work with Vincent to make this contest possible for Beatle fans everywhere to win their very own photograph.

To enter this contest you need to correctly unscramble these 23 words.   The only clue I will give you is that all of the words have to do with people, places and things that deal with when the Beatles first came to America.    The five people who have the most correct answers will win the photograph.  In case of a tie, I will use an online random number generator to choose the winners.     Please send your answers to Starshyne9@yahoo.com before February 9, 2014 at 5pm central time.   The winner will be announced that evening.   Good luck!
