Sint-Oedenrode, Netherlands – Local news outlet DeMooiRooiKrant is offering its readers a unique opportunity to host their own silent disco party in 2026. The giveaway, announced on March 7, 2026, encourages community groups to submit photos for a chance to win a complete Silent Disco package.
The contest is designed to engage readers and provide a fun experience for groups of friends, sports teams, colleagues, or classmates. Participants can enter by submitting a photo of their team or friend group via private message on the DeMooiRooiKrant Facebook page, or by posting the photo on Instagram and tagging the news outlet. To be eligible, entrants must also follow the Instagram account (@mediahuismeierijstad) or the Facebook page.
The prize itself is a complete Silent Disco package, provided by DiscoDingen.nl. The winner will be able to choose a date in 2026 to host their event, coordinating with the rental company for availability. This offers a chance for a memorable and unique social gathering.
DeMooiRooiKrant aims to strengthen its connection with the local community through this initiative. The newspaper, which also has a strong online presence, regularly reports on news from Sint-Oedenrode and the surrounding Meierijstad region. The online edition of the paper often reaches readers a day before the print version, with nearly 1700 receiving the digital edition on Tuesday evenings, according to reporting from oozo.nl.
The concept of a silent disco – where attendees listen to music through headphones – has gained popularity as a novel and inclusive event format. It allows for multiple music channels, catering to diverse tastes, and minimizes noise pollution, making it suitable for various venues and settings. The giveaway taps into this trend, offering a ready-made solution for a group looking to organize such an event.
The contest is a clever way for DeMooiRooiKrant to boost engagement on social media platforms. The newspaper currently has over 9,200 likes on its Facebook page, and a significant number of users are actively discussing local news and events. The giveaway is likely to generate further interaction and expand the newspaper’s reach.
For those interested in participating, the deadline for submitting photos is not specified, but the contest is currently active as of March 7, 2026. Interested parties should visit the DeMooiRooiKrant Facebook page or Instagram account (@mediahuismeierijstad) for complete details and entry instructions. The winner will be selected from all entries received on both platforms.
The next major event in Sint-Oedenrode is the family concert presented by Fanfare Nos Jungit Apollo on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at the Mariëndael cultural center. This event offers another opportunity for community members to approach together and enjoy a shared experience.
