End of the Road festival, our favourite excuse for a late summer knees-up, has teamed up with Little White Lies film magazine to offer you the opportunity to design a film ident to be shown at the festival in between bands and in the cinema tent.
The reward? Two tickets to the festival, one year’s subscription to Little White Lies as well as Rough Trade goodies.
Check out the End of the Reel Youtube page for full details.
