Contest for Canadian fans

You may have already seen the ad on television. Quality Street in Canada is holding a competition and they are giving away three trips to the UK including an exclusive visit to the Coronation Street studios. They're also giving away 120 Corrie trivia DVD games. They launched their campaign at a get together (aka a "ping") in Toronto last month but the contest didn't officially open until today. All the particulars of the contest and how to enter are on their website here. It's only open to Canadian residents. The contest runs from today until December 31.
