So, we've come to that time again... The tour starts in just under 6 months and we need to start thinking badge ideas.

Just like 2010 I think we should run a competition for a winning badge design that will be made and distributed to PJ fans to remember the 2012 European tour.

So, here are the rules:

Your design should have the words 'PJ/Pearl Jam', 'European/Euro Tour' and the year '2012' on it. The design should fit on a round 25mm badge.

The design itself should be as clear as possible and a high quality digital image. Large images are better but remember that the badges themselves will only be 25mm when made.

ONE entry per person. I will not be accepting multiple entries from individuals.

Closing date for designs is 16th April 2012.

Voting will start on 17th April and will run until 30th April.

Email entries only to <!-- e --><a href="mailto:gruftyzombie@hotmail.co.uk">gruftyzombie@hotmail.co.uk</a><!-- e -->

Please title your emails 'BADGES 2012' so I don't delete it.

All entries are welcome from around the world, whether attending the shows or not.

Cost for this in 2010 and 2009 was spread across a few (very generous) fans. This year I am also looking for your financial and charitable help...

I'm asking that people donate between £3-£5 to help pay for the badges. The badges themselves will cost around £50-£60 to have made. Hopefully, again, we'll raise over the amount needed to make the badges because the remaining money will be given to charity. In 2010 we donated to The British Heart Foundation and Sir Magdi Yacoub's Chain of Hope; I would like to donate to the British Heart Foundation again and also another charity; your suggestions are welcome.

Any money left after the purchase of the badges will be split equally between the two nominated charities.

When making a payment, please enter the subject as "PJ Badges 2012" so I know what the donation is for.

Could you also please mark the payment as a GIFT so no charges are incurred in order to process it and ensure all of the money will go to charity.

Paypal: <!-- e --><a href="mailto:pearljameurobadges@hotmail.co.uk">pearljameurobadges@hotmail.co.uk</a><!-- e -->

    Awesome - I'm assumming it's too late to get the '09 & '10 ones as I never made it to any pre/after partys?

    Plus how do you find out about these things are they invite only or...?
    How I choose to feel is how I am...I will not lose my faith, It's an inside job today.
