COMPETITION

WIN TICKETS TO MIDNIGHT MADNESS
THE UK'S BIGGEST HOME–GROWN BASKEBALL BATTLE

The biggest UK basketball event of the Summer comes to Wembley Arena on August 16 as Midnight Madness brings its summer–long search for the UK's most talented dunkers to a dramatic finale.

Midnight Madness Finals Night '08 has a serious claim to be the biggest UK basketball event of the summer. For one night only, the UK's best players will do battle, the MM finalists fighting to the last ten standing in front of 8,000 screaming fans at Wembley Arena. The prize? A place on the Midnight Madness travelling team, a US showcase tour and the chance to follow in Luol Deng's footsteps.

It's the hottest Slam Dunk Competition in the UK. All this plus a unique fusion of music, dance and the best of summer fun and good times, in recent years we've brought R&B superstar Chris Brown, dance sensations 'Boy Blue' and 'Flawless', human beatbox SFX and the hottest DJ's on rotation from start to finish, 2008 promises to be another classic, providing you with more of what you love.
