Festivals are back at last and it's time to make the most of them with free tickets to not one but two major Leeds festivals.
With restrictions finally easing around clubbing, partying and nightlife, there's been a flood of demand for festival tickets all of sudden - and Leeds has some absolute corkers going on.
We've teamed up with two of the city's very best events, Newsam Park Festival and Mint Festival, to give one lucky winner an unreal summer of partying completely on us.
Up for grabs are two tickets to Newsam Park Festival on 21st August and another two tickets to Mint Festival, which takes place on Saturday 25th September.
Newsam Park is one of the first big festivals to take place in Leeds this year as events return, bringing the likes of Sven Vath, Nightmares on Wax, Mella Dee, Enzo Siragusa and Folamour and more across gorgeous Lake and Garden stages - bringing four different stages of top class talent down for the all dayer.
Mint Festival, meanwhile, takes place this year at a brand new location just ten minutes out of the city. Festival goes can expect headliners like Ricardo Villalobos and Amelie Lens and high-tech production and pyrotechnics aplenty this year from its new home at Newsam Green Farm.
That said, you can absolutely go to town with tagging if you want. Every tag counts as another entry, so no need to be shy if you really want these tickets it's well worth going in on the comments.
For one extra chance to win, you can also share the post to your story.

This family-run restaurant has chosen Leeds as their second location, and we're very glad they have.
Introducing Domo, a Sardinian independent born in Sheffield that is loved by many for its delicious food, inviting atmosphere and stellar service.
Run by Raffaele Busceddu and Sarah May Elliott, Domo serves a range of traditional Sardinian specialities from homemade pasta dishes to show-stopping grills.
They've also got a banging cocktail menu full of signature serves and refreshing spritz, perfect for enjoying with friends over some delicious sharing plates.

They've been teasing a second site for some time now but finally the cat is firmly out of the bag as they've announced they'll be bringing Domo to Leeds.
But where might you ask? Well, none other than the scenic location of the Lockside overlooking the canal.
Slotting right in next to BAKE, they're going to be in very good company indeed.

Announcing the exciting news to Instagram, Domo said: "So most of you guessed it right...it’s been a long time coming but Domo 2.0 is finally cooking.
"Here’s a little sneak peek at our week which we’ve mostly spent admiring the views and getting to know the new neighbours …. If you can guess where it is there’s a glass of bubbly on us next time we see you. To be continued ………"
That's all the information we have so far, but we'll keep you in the loop as and when we find out more.
We can't wait to have you here in Leeds Domo, but for now we'll pop round to Sheffield to get our Domo fix and we highly suggest you do too.
You can watch The Traitors finale on a massive screen in Leeds next Friday
Clementine Hall
The finale of The Celebrity Traitors is hitting our TV screens next Friday, and there’s a big screening party happening in Leeds especially for it.
Don't panic guys, it's happening.
Fancy sitting down to watch one of the cultural events of the year on a big screen with dozens of others who are just as invested in the show as you are? Well, now you can.
And that’s because Belgrave Music Hall, one of the city’s most beloved event spaces and bars, will be hosting a finale watching party and we’re all invited.
Taking place next Friday 23 January, fans of The Traitors are invited to watch the finale which kicks off 9pm in the canteen.
Best part? The tickets are absolutely free and we've no doubt there'll be some banging drink deals on to get the party started.
We’re already searching our wardrobes for an item of clothing that remotely resembles a cloak.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Belgrave said: "The world famous Traitors finale screening is back at Belgrave! In the past we've been graced with the presence of OG Faithful @theomayne1, plus our Clauds has been known to make an appearance (please scroll for evidence)... twists and turns are promised 👀"
So to give this series of The Traitors a proper send off, get yourself to Belgrave Music Hall from 6pm and enjoy a few beverages with like minded fans whilst screaming at the screen as Claudia makes her way into the frame.
Whilst we're on the topic, has anyone got an incredibly glossy black fringed wig we could borrow?
