What better way to ring in the Tribeca Film Festival than with a slew of giveaways? Not only do we have two prize packs to dole out, but ten reserved seats for the online festival, too! Interested?

To be eligible for one of these prizes packs, all you’ve got to do is tell us which festival film you’re looking forward to most and why. We know you folks are talented writers, but keep this short and sweet. Let’s say, 150 words maximum. Post your entry in the comments section of this article and be sure to e-mail your entry to shockyapr@gmail.com by Tuesday, April 19th.

As for those reserved seats, we’re going to give away those in pairs. To put yourself in the running, you must both “like” Shockya.com on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. Then, on Twitter, retweet the following:

“Enter to win a pair of reserved seats to #tribecafest’s online festival from @Shockya. Please RT. Info at: http://bit.ly/gt32C4.”

Can you believe it’s that easy? We’ll pick five people at random on Tuesday, April 18th and each will receive two reserved seats.

Good luck!
