summer of give

v has launched 'Summer of Give', a brand new initiative asking 18-25 year olds across the country to give their free time this summer to get the time of their lives for FREE at some of the UK's most sought after - and already sold out music festivals including T4 on the Beach, Relentless Boardmasters and Creamfields.

Talented 18-25 year olds are being called upon to join the vcrew on the bigvbus at each location. The deal? Get creative and share your time and talents with others in return for free festival access. Simple.

All willing volunteers have to do is log on to www.vinspired.com/summerofgive and tell v what skills they can uniquely offer for free at each festival location. So whether it's music, dance, photography, writing or even fashion styling skills that make you stand out from the crowd, v needs your help and for just four hours a day. That’s it!

Aspiring DJ's and bands could hit the top deck of the bigvbus and play a warm up festival set while promising photographers and writers snap, blog and tweet the festival scene. Graffiti artists and dancers could even hold master classes on-board - it's your call, just tell v what you can do.

For further details on ‘Summer of Give,’ deadlines for each festival applications and v’s terms and conditions, please log on to www.vinspired.com/summerofgive
