More than $100,000 worth of tickets will be given free to Straits Times readers to watch the music performances of American rock icons Aerosmith, South Korean pop sensation Psy, Grammy winner Carly Rae Jepsen, soul-pop singer CeeLo Green and Sky Blu from popular American dance- pop duo LMFAO.
The Straits Times is holding a contest to give away tickets to the inaugural Social Star Awards and the Singapore Social concerts later this month.
One lucky winner – a Straits Times “super fan” – will also experience the glitz and glamour of walking the red carpet, with a $3,000 fashion makeover for two, at the awards show celebrating the best in social media.
To be held on May 23 at Marina Bay Sands, the awards – dubbed the Oscars of the social media world – will crown the most popular personalities and brands on the world’s biggest social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube and Weibo.
In conjunction with the awards, two nights of concerts will also be staged on May 24 and 25 at The Meadow, Gardens by the Bay.
Called Singapore Social, the gigs will feature top acts such as Aerosmith, CeeLo Green, Psy, Jepsen and Asian girl group Blush.
Both the awards show and concerts are organised by Singapore- based company Starcount, which tracks the activities of 1.7 billion Internet users on the world’s top 11 social media sites.
The Straits Times is the official Singapore media partner of the event, Hot FM 91.3 is the official Singapore radio station, and Kiss92 FM, the supporting Singapore radio station.
Mr Warren Fernandez, editor of The Straits Times, said: “Whether you read the ST in print, online, mobile or on social media, we want to make it a rewarding experience.
“This includes a chance to win access to the social media awards night as well as two nights of concerts with some of the big name performers, which our readers will enjoy.”
To enter the contest, come up with all kinds of creative, multimedia ways to tell us why you deserve to win tickets to these performances and the awards show.
To post your submissions, go to the Contribution Bar of The Straits Times Communities site at http://stcommunities.straitstimes.com/, as well as “like” the ST Facebook page online (www.facebook.com/thestraitstimes).
The entry can take on any format: It can be a photo, a self- made video, or even a song that you can post online.

The person with the most creative entry and who also shares ST content on Facebook or Twitter will win a pair of tickets to walk the red carpet at the awards show with a $3,000 makeover by homegrown fashion brand Raoul and styling from neXt Salon.
He or she will also get a pair of tickets to the post-awards party and to the concerts on May 24 and 25.
Ten winners will each get a pair of tickets to the awards show and the two concerts, while 120 others will each win a pair of tickets to the two concerts.
Participants have until May 18 to submit their entries, along with details such as their full name, e-mail address and contact number.
Some music fans are already excited about the competition.
Mrs Adeline Lee, 33, a realtor who is a fan of CeeLo Green and Psy, said: “I just have to think of something interesting to submit, because I wouldn’t mind getting a nice makeover and seeing Psy and CeeLo.”
