Competition time: win a Covert Affairs gift bag

Covert Affairs prize pack

It’s competition time for US and Canadian readers of the blog once again, thanks to those nice people over at USA Network. This time, it’s a Covert Affairs competition and they’ve offering one lucky reader the chance to win a gift bag.

In case you’ve not yet caught Covert Affairs, it’s about the CIA’s latest recruit, Piper Perabo, and her attempts to have a normal private life while getting to grips with her new secret agent day job. I previewed the show a while back, but here’s a couple of YouTube trailers as well:

Either way, Piper Perabo’s pretty ace, so you should be watching it on those grounds alone.

What’s in the Covert Affairs gift bag?

  • Tumi maps set
  • Hard cover Spy book
  • Covert Affairs Hat
  • Covert Affairs T-Shirt

That’s not bad, huh?

First, stuff that USA Network would like me to point out:

USA Network has your Tuesdays covered with the best looking night on television with the new hit series Covert Affairs at 10pm. COVERT AFFAIRS stars Piper Perabo, Christopher Gorham, Peter Gallagher , Kari Matchett, Anne Dudek and Sendhil Ramamurthy. Visit the official Covert Affairs website for games, photos and weekly prizes. Visit USA Network’s Character Arcade to play games, challenge friends and for more chances to win prizes!

Second, the terms and conditions:

  • Open to U.S. and Canadian residents only
  • Entrants must be at least 18 yrs of age
  • The prize pack is valued at $150 and is provided by USA Network.

Third, how do you win the gift bag? Simply leave a comment below before Wednesday 4th August – don’t forget your email address or else I won’t be able to contact you if you win. Using the power of the Internet random number generator, a winner will be randomly determined and announced on the blog on the 5th August and I’ll get in touch with the person who won to find out where to send it to.

Remember: you’ve got to be in it to win it!
