So, how creative can you be in 140 characters or less? Funny, irreverent, serious… all are fair game, just be clever, creative and have fun! Be sure to use the #RJ140 hashtag and @replies so we see your tweets! (Learn more about @ replies on Twitter here .)

But first, a little housekeeping:

• LA Opera’s #RJ140 Tweet Contest begins Friday, October 28 at 8am and ends Sunday, October 30 at midnight. Winner will be announced in our November 1 newsletter and notified via Direct Message on Twitter.

• Don’t use multiple accounts to enter. It’s against Twitter’s rules and could get all your Twitter accounts suspended. Anyone found using multiple accounts to enter will be ineligible.

• Don’t post duplicate, or near duplicate, updates. This is also a violation of Twitter’s rules and jeopardizes search quality. In other words, if you post the same thing over and over, your tweet may not show up in search. And if we don’t see it, you aren’t entered into the contest.

• The prize is for two (2) orchestra level tickets only, transportation is not included.

Now go forth and tweet the story of woe between Juliette and her Roméo! Good luck!
