Wanna Rock with Opera?

rock opera

In case you haven't heard, we'll be having a rockin' party in San Francisco, and if you're available on October 25th (and ideally the day after) we're holding a special contest to send one lucky My Opera member from anywhere in the US to the party (travel and lodging paid for by Opera, of course).

What you have to do is to write a blog post (on My Opera) explaining why you should be picked to attend. When you've written the post send us the link and we'll decide who gets to go to San Francisco to party with The Binges, The 88, and of course Opera. :headbang:

Be sure to submit your entry by Friday October 19th (that's one week from today), so we have time to go through all the submissions.

This contest is exclusive for people residing in North America because it's difficult to arrange travel and Visas for international visitors on such short notice. There will be an open bar, so members under 21 shouldn't apply. In the meantime, we hope you'll participate in our online parties on October 25th to make this event truly global (more details to come)!

For those of you already in the SF Bay Area, there are several opportunities to get on the guest list. Check out rock.opera.com for more information.

Good luck!

Rock Opera :D
That sounds cool!!, mainly because we're talking about the
browser, not the music genre :wink:
Anyway, I like both of them!

We have more and more offices around the world, and we're strengthening our marketing presence in each of those countries, as well as countries where we don't have offices. Our plan is to eventually host more events in different regions - maybe even yours! One reason we chose San Francisco for this event is because we recently opened up our Silicon Valley office.

If you'd like to organize an Opera event in your region and want our help, please let us know or join Choose Opera to brainstorm it with your fellow Opera enthusiasts.

Oh, by the way, if you haven't seen the official press release yet:

"The concert will be streamed around the world live on my.opera.com, Opera's very own online social network with blogs, photo albums and much more. No matter where any of Opera's millions of fans are, they will be able to take part in and enjoy this event."

@soumitram4u: Usually we want our competitions to be open to everyone, regardless of where they live. In this case, because it's such a short period of time before the concert, we didn't believe we could run a competition that allowed us to fairly find a winner and then get the winner appropriate visas.

What we don't want to do is declare a winner, only to then disappoint everyone when a visa cannot be processed in time.

We do strive to keep everyone included, that's why we're planning to stream the event live on my.opera.com. Even if someone can't be there live, they can rock out with us in spirit.

@zoligrg89: Hmmm...good idea. Let's how this one goes first and then we can look at expanding to other areas. As you can imagine, we spend our time making browsers, so this is a little new to us. :smile:

You should be "rockin' in San Jose NOT San Francisco. San Jose is the real center of "silicon valley".
