Paging all booklovers! On January 25th, at 8 p.m., CBC Radio and McNally Robinson Booksellers invite you to Prairie Ink Restaurant for an evening we're calling: 5 Writers, 5 Readers, 5 Minutes.

Canada Reads 2012 features five non-fiction titles this year, and in our regional warm-up to the national CBC Radio book brawl, five well-known Manitobans have been matched with the five titles. Up to Speed host Larry Updike will invite each reader to share their insights with the audience, each with a unique presentation lasting only five minutes. Well, maybe ten. No debating, no brawling, but plenty of insight, humour and stories.

Find out more about the evening and corresponding Big Ticket Contest that could see one lucky person walk away with the five nominated books and dinner for two at Prairie Ink Restaurant by visiting the CBC Manitoba SCENE website. You can also visit them on Facebook, Twitter and stay tuned to our own front page for a feature interview with all five of the evening's advocates!

Ok. The contest has now officially begun.

Come down to McNally Robinson Grant Park and enter to win tickets to our exclusive, intimate & interactive performance with Jim Cuddy on October 6th at 6PM.

Remember, you have to win to get in.

Jim will be performing music from his brand new CD Skyscraper Soul and answering a few audience questions.

Watch here for your chance to win tickets to an exclusive, intimate and interactive performance at McNally Robinson in Winnipeg by Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy.
