New entries under the social rules version below require commenting why you want to win, tagging a friend in that comment on our giveaway post, and following @doingthingsinaustin and @slownorth. Additional comments or tags do not earn extra entries. Earlier submissions retain eligibility under the rules accepted when submitted; these new social requirements do not apply retroactively. Entry includes TTDA email updates after verification; you may unsubscribe anytime without affecting your entry or odds. Existing unsubscribes are respected. Void where prohibited. This giveaway is separate from TTDA’s December giveaway series.

Eligibility. Open to legal Texas residents age 18+ residing in Austin or surrounding communities and able to attend a public workshop at Slow North in Austin. Employees of the sponsor, prize provider and promotion agencies, and their immediate family and household members, are excluded. The accompanying guest must also be 18+. One entry per person, regardless of email addresses used. Eligibility may be checked before awarding the prize.

Entry period and method. Entries open Nov 9, 2026, 10:40 AM Central and close Nov 15, 2026, 11:59 PM Central. Complete this form with your name, email and ZIP code, confirm eligibility and accept the rules, then verify your email using the code sent to you before the deadline. The server clock controls. Late, incomplete, duplicate, automated or fraudulent entries are ineligible. For new entries, complete the Instagram steps shown above, provide your Instagram handle and confirm completion. These actions are self-reported at entry and checked manually for the potential winner before awarding the prize. Earlier entrants are exempt from these added social steps.

Prize. One winner receives two DIY Soy Candle Making Workshop tickets, total approximate retail value $120 ($60 per ticket), delivered as an emailed gift certificate. Each participant blends an essential-oil scent and pours an 8 oz candle. Valid for any available public workshop within 12 months of issuance; advance booking and availability apply. No blackout dates or extra purchase requirements. Travel, parking and incidental expenses are not included. No cash alternative. Applicable taxes are the winner’s responsibility.

Selection and notification. On November 16, 2026, an authorized administrator will run one recorded random draw from eligible verified entries. Odds depend on the number of eligible entries. The saved draw includes alternates. TTDA contacts the potential winner at their submitted email from howdy@thingstodoinaustin.com; they have 48 hours to respond. If they decline, are ineligible or do not respond, the next eligible alternate may be contacted. Announcement follows acceptance and eligibility confirmation. We never ask for payment to claim a prize.

Fulfillment. The confirmed winner authorizes TTDA to share their name and email with Slow North to deliver the certificate. Slow North emails the certificate and the winner books an available public workshop using it. Do not submit identity documents through this form.

Privacy. Entry details are used to administer the giveaway under our Privacy Policy. By entering under the updated form, you subscribe to TTDA emails about local events, guides and offers after verifying your email. You can unsubscribe anytime without affecting your entry or odds; existing unsubscribes are respected. Slow North marketing is a separate optional choice. Earlier entrants retain the choices they made at entry. Partner marketing exports include only verified entrants who opt in to that sharing. See Slow North’s privacy policy. Consent choices, rules version and timestamps are recorded. Contact TTDA to withdraw an entry or request deletion; necessary administration records may be retained. Entrant emails are never published.

To the extent permitted by law, entrants release Instagram and Facebook from claims arising from this promotion. This giveaway is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by or associated with Instagram, Facebook or Meta. Nothing limits nonwaivable legal rights.
