A ridiculously brilliant Britney Spears competition.

This is probably the greatest com­pet­i­tion in the history of com­pet­i­tions AND the history of actual history itself.

We are giving away one pair of passes to watch Britney's 'Femme Fatale' show at London's O2 on October 27…

AND DANCE

ON STAGE

WITH BRITNEY.

Oh yes. You. And a friend. ON STAGE WITH BRITNEY SPEARS.

We expect it will be a bit like this.

(ie 100% amazing.)

How can you win this competition?

Well, inspired by this inter­est­ing fan video we are asking you to enter this com­pet­i­tion by making a papier mache Britney Spears head.

Yesterday afternoon, to check that it was possible to make a decent enough Britney papier mache head in under 24 hours, we chal­lenged Popjustice intern allstars Joel and Julian to come up with their own heads.

Here are the heads at an early stage.

Here's a slightly later shot.

Can you tell what it is yet?

TA-DA!!!!!

Well done Joel and Julian. Both good entries, but they're not allowed to win.

Are there rules? Well yes: winners must be over 13 years old and — this is very important — "CAN NOT DRINK ALCOHOL or appear intox­ic­ated at all or they will not be allowed to take part".

Send your papier mache heads — in boxes please to avoid crushing — to:

Head In A Box
Popjustice
1Q Leroy House
436 Essex Road
London N1 3QP

We'll be picking a winner on Tuesday October 4, so you've got plenty of time to 'get creative'.

If you don't want to post your Britney head drop us a line on the catch-all [email protected] email address and we'll arrange a time for you to bring your head in in person.

Good luck. We look forward to seeing your entries; we'll OBVIOUSLY put a gallery of the best ones on the site (and if nobody enters the tickets and Britney dance-off oppor­tun­it­ies will go to Joel and Julian.)
