For the past week, TMINE has been running a competition to win one of two boxsets of Der Pass (Pagan Peak) on DVD.

All you had to do to enter was ‘Like’ the TMINE Facebook page and leave a comment on either the competition entry post or the matching Facebook post.

Entry closed last night and the following people all managed to follow those instructions:
