Bon chance

Okay, so we’ve been thinking VisitBritain needs a good “tagline” to summarize what LGBT Britain is all about in one little sentence or so. We could probably come up with something if we thought hard enough…but we already have a pretty bad headache, and you guys would probably come up with something better anyway. So, then we figured, hey, if you guys could come up with something better, then you should. Look through our website and see all the great things that LGBT Britain has to offer. Then send in your suggestions for a new tagline for VisitBritain that expresses what our LGBT Britain website is all about in a few words or a sentence, and email it over to lgbttaglinecontest@visitbritain.org.

And, what would be a contest without a reward? The winning tagline will not only win a trip to Britain to experience LGBT Britain firsthand… but have the satisfaction of helping promote LGBT Britain to the masses!

Guidelines

The guidelines are simple, we’re looking for something fairly short (a few words or short sentence) that describes what LGBT Britain is all about; we’ll leave that judgment up to you.

How to Enter

It couldn’t be easier. Just send an email with your tagline suggestion(s) to lgbttaglinecontest@visitbritain.org and make sure to include your contact details and use an email address where we can contact you. The finalists will be selected by VisitBritain and there will be a public vote for the finalists on the website as well as our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/pages/Visit-Gay-and-Lesbian-Britain/59051457986) – where you can become a fan of LGBT Britain.

That’s it. Good luck and we look forward to hearing from you!

Time Out New York gave it 5 stars, calling it “A little piece of Vaudevillian wonder packaged up in one hell of a sexy Scotsman,” and the New York Times said Cumming “exudes the fabulousness of a brash showbiz kid”.
