Welcome to the brand new GWayFUN.com! This is a very exciting moment for us. We’ve been working on some of the content of this site for nearly 5 years and for the last 6 months it has been our reason for being so quiet (We were working on this site every day in secret!).
We hope you like it! And of course what better way to start this party off than with a giveaway, right? So here it is:
🎉NEW YEAR GIVEAWAY!🎉
Here's to a new year and a new beginning!

Is it international? Yes.
How do multiple entries work? Just follow the instructions and each one of the things you do to enter will be counted.
How will you know how to contact me if I win via the website?
GREAT QUESTION. YOU MUST leave a way to contact you in your forum post so we can reach out should you win that way.
Please note the autographed ashcan we send out may look slightly different than pictured. Instead of flattening out one of the ashcans these wonderful people autographed for us, we used two to create the image we used for the giveaway. The front is the one you’ll receive, the back is not and the autographs you saw in our tweets leading up to this giveaway will be the ones you receive.
Have FUN!
