EFF is offering two complimentary VIP admissions (a $200 value) to the 19th Annual Pioneer Awards on November 8, thanks to a generous EFF donor. Meet the Pioneer Awards winners, host Cory Doctorow, EFF founders and board members, and other luminaries at the intimate VIP reception immediately preceding the awards ceremony, and then join us for the ceremony itself. Hors d'oeurves, wine, and beer at the VIP reception are included.

If you'd like the tickets, in 150 words or less, tell us how EFF inspires you to support digital rights. Send your response to contest@eff.org before midnight PDT on Thursday, November 4, 2010. EFF staff members, at our sole discretion, will select the most inspiring response, and the winner will be notified on Friday, November 5, 2010.
