Did we mention the App is FREE to download?

To celebrate the release of the first ever official Big Day Out mobile app we are giving you and a friend the chance to win a trip to Lollapalooza 2011 in Chicago!

All you have to do is download the free app, attend one of the Big Day Out festivals and take photos at the event via the App. The photos taken are automatically stored into a Facebook album called BIG DAY OUT 2011 PHOTOS (you’ll need to be logged into Facebook to make this work).

Post event, enter the ‘Big Day Out Lollapalooza Competition’ at the Big Day Out Official Facebook Page, choose your picture that best captures the ‘SPIRIT OF THE BIG DAY OUT’ and upload.
