Win prizes at Sounds from the Other City festival!
Sounds from the Other City festival returns to Salford this May bank holiday, filling venues and streets with its usual madcap mix of music, art and performance.
Once again, The Skinny is teaming up with SFTOC to offer you the chance to win a goody bag full of prizes – with our special photo competition.
To enter, all you have to do is share your photos of the day on Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #SFTOCSkinny.
We’re looking for photos that capture the spirit of the festival, so whether you’ve caught an impromptu gig or parade, a mysterious happening or art installation, anything goes!
Our favourite shot, as chosen by the SFTOC and Skinny teams, will win a bundle of gifts kindly donated by the festival’s promoters and friends – including a record player, lots of vinyl to play on it, loads of gig tickets and passes to Sounds from the Other City 2017!
Here's the prize in full:
- A Bermuda GPO Retro Turntable!
- 2 tickets to all of the following:

And remember: just tag your photos #SFTOCSkinny to be in with a chance of winning!
