The first competition is a Photo Pass competition which will see fans enter a Q&A style competition, with the winner getting a pair of tickets and one photo pass for a gig of their choice on the tour. The second competition is a Photo Submission competition with fans being given the chance to upload their own Pendulum related photos on The Other Side.
A shortlist will then be drawn up and voted on with the winning photo being made into a limited edition print to be sold exclusively on the store at www.pendulum.com.
