Melbourne punk rockers Clowns have just announced a new single alongside an east coast tour, and the boys are stepping it up a notch by announcing a pretty unique competition.

Fans of the band who are a bit handy with Photoshop have been encouraged to take their skills to a shot of the band’s front man Stevie Williams stage diving during their set at Groezrock earlier this year.

The winner will take home two VIP tickets for the band’s forthcoming tour, a copy of Bad Blood on vinyl, and a ‘Destroy The Evidence’ 7”, alongside a merch pack with a heap more prizes. Oh, and one more fabulous prize: “1 x beer/shot that I’ll be shouting you! You’ve gotta do it with me though.” Not bad at all!

The worst entry, on the other hand, has the chance to win a Bette Midler record, one ticket to the show (which will involve a treasure hunt to find), and a shot of bad tequila just to rub in your lack of talent.

You can enter the competition here and check out the original photo below, as well as some early contenders – including a cheeky jab from Frenzal Rhomb guitarist Lindsay McDougall. We’re sure there’s a story there.
