We've all been there. You've got the fancy dress absolutely nailed, booze sorted and you're psyched for the party of the year. There's been talk for weeks of tequila, and wet T-Shirts, but as you approach the house, the party is suspiciously quiet.
You ring the doorbell and Tom opens the door. Dido is playing in the background. "Oh er… Hi mate. Just to let you know it's more a chilled-out gathering sort of thi…" but before he's finished his sentence his mum has bustled to the door, snatched your cans from your hand and shoved you into the empty living room with a paper cup full of shandy.
In the living room, three mortified girls in miniskirts are watching your mates play FIFA while two parents watch on smiling through the kitchen hatch. The most dramatic part of the evening happens when a Wotsit is crunched into the cream carpet. Your mate's dad loses his shit.
You of course are the only person at the whole event who has gone balls-out on the theme. Amazingly you've managed to get some time alone with outrageously hot Emily from Physics. The problem, of course, is that Tom's parents are still at the kitchen hatch. Oh, but it doesn't have to be this way...
WANNA HEAR SOME EXCELLENT NEWS? YOU COULD WIN £5000...
All those warm tinnies, Sainsbury's Basics Snack Selections and wasted hours sitting in your bedroom refreshing the 'Attending' list on your Facebook event could be nothing but a distant memory, because you might just be about to win yourself the prize of a bloody lifetime - Project X style.
In the party film of the year three lads in a Blair Witch Project meets Skins-y way decide to throw a house party. With no parents, no rules and distinct lack of self control, things get a LOT more extreme than a mere Wotsit/carpet fiasco.
So, we've thought about it a bit, and and we've decided we'd like nothing better than to give you the chance to have your own off the chain party. We're gonna give you lot FIVE THOUSAND of Lizzie's finest pounds to blow on the sort of party people will whisper about around campfires for years to come.
