DerpCon Winner - Mexico

Hey guys! How are you all doing? :)

Today I bring you the Mexico DerpCon winner and the lucky girl is 17 year old Paulina ( @PaulinaPR97 ) She was kind enough to talk with me and explain all about her win :)

Mexico's competition for DerpCon was ran by Telehit, the music channel and what you had to do was make a 30 second creative video showing a super power and upload it to YouTube.

This is Paulina's winning video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gzWYDB-2hs&index=1&list=UUhSGkxmDF5INM3B8V0QaiOQ

I asked Paulina to describe everything that happened from how she found out about winning and the lead up to it, "I saw a tweet saying they were announcing the winner on the Friday, so on the Friday I got out of school as fast as I could so I could get home on time for the announcement. I was watching the TV when they said they were announcing the winner in a few minutes when I received a call and they told me 'you're gonna be on the air in a few minutes.'

Paulina then describes how she reacted, "I looked at my cousin and mom and started jumping. They then showed my video on the TV saying that I was the winner of DerpCon and  burst into tears. They started asking me questions and I was so overwhelmed I just said whatever came to my mind!"

On how she is feeling now, Paulina tells me, "I feel overwhelmed and super excited because this is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I get to spend it with my best friend and mom, what else could I ask for?"

When asked what she is most looking forward to about DerpCon, Paulina responds, "I'm really excited for everything that involves DerpCon! Meeting them and taking pictures, the show, traveling with my best friend and getting to know fans from all around the world and making new friends!"

Paulina saw 5SOS perform at the One Direction concert in Arizona but has never met them so this is going to be an amazing experience for her!

DerpCon is in 3 days everyone, be prepared! :D

Until the next time, love;

DerpCon Winner - USA (Road to DerpCon Game)

Hey everyone! Well this is it, the last DerpCon winners blog. Lets end on a high note shall we? :)

This is the story about the Road to DerpCon winner. The lucky and much deserving winner is Ellie, ( @happygoellie ) 

She explains how she was able to achieve the top score in the Road To DerpCon game and be the lucky winner for USA. 

"I remember when the contest was announced. I was in school and I was so determined to win. I played everyday for a few hours and I could just kinda do it well I suppose. I t was a fun game and the more I played the better I got. After around a month of playing the game I got the high score."

Props to Ellie for being so good at the game because lets face it, I sucked at it!! :'D

I asked her how she felt when she won the competition, "I was so excited when I won, I was crying so hard, my mom also cried because she was so proud of me! I didn't imagine that I could win, I've never won anything before because I am so unlucky!"

Ellie has saw 5SOS perform before at WWA tour but she has never met them before so she is really excited to finally get to meet them!

When asked what she was most looking forward to about DerpCon she responds, "I am most looking forward to hanging out with 5SOS and the other winners because they are all so nice and I finally get to meet my favourite band!"

She continues, "I never thought meeting them would be possible! I am just so thankful to be apart of DerpCon! I can't wait!"

Ellie didn't want her photograph to go in the blog so I asked her for her favourite picture of 5SOS,


I also think this picture depicts 5SOS image perfectly! haha and hopefully there will be pizza at DerpCon! ;)

So that's it everyone. I hope you have enjoyed this little blog about the winners, I have loved writing it! :D

Love you guys,

@5SOSFamDerpCon

DerpCon Winner - Colombia

Hey everyone! Hope all is good in the Hood? ;)

Today I bring you the story of the Colombian DerpCon winner and the lucky winner was 15 year old Susana ( @h0ranftIrwin ) She explains to me what exactly she had to do in order to win this amazing prize! :)

"The competition here was about making a video showing what would I do to meet 5SOS. I went to the main park in my city and bathed myself in white paint and started singing and dancing to SLSP in front of everyone."

She continues, "In order to win, the video with the most votes and that was me!"

On how she was contacted to say she had won Susana explains, "A rep from Universal Music Colombia called me, I could barely hold myself together so I passed the phone to my mom and started crying because I couldn't believe it!"

On how she feels now Susana says, "I really don't know I am feeling. I can't believe that I am actually going. I am still in shock."

I asked Susana what she was most looking forward to about DerpCon and she told me, "Obviously meeting 5SOS and getting to do crazy stuff with them and also to meet the other winners because they are all so beautiful and nice people."

Susana has never met 5SOS before or even saw them live because she says "Artists never come to my country and 5SOS never have."

So this will be an amazing experience for Susana! :D

Congratulations Susana!! :D

Can you even believe that DerpCon is in 2 days and right now probably most of the winners are in LA?! Because I can't! It has came around so fast! :D

Tomorrow will be the last DerpCon winner's post but certainly after DerpCon I will be interviewing the winners again to talk about their whole experience :D

Lots of love,

DerpCon Winner - India

Hey guys! :)

Today on the blog is all about the Indian DerpCon winner and the chosen girl that gets to go to LA for DerpCon to represent India is 15 year old Simrat ( @simrat_5 ) She was kind enough to share her story with us all today :)

"So I had to dress up as my favourite superhero," She begins, "All that came to my mind was WonderWoman. I made the costume all myself with stuff I found at home, I used paper and a lot of tape!"

Simrat then explains to me how she found out that she was the winner, "I came home from class and received a call. At first I thought it was one of my friends but then they started going into the details and I almost froze! They asked me a few questions about the band and then finally told me I had won."

I asked Simrat how she reacted to being told she had won, "I started crying over the phone and after the call ended I didn't know what to do at all! It was one of the most mind boggling and heart pounding experiences I have ever had."

Simrat has never got to meet or see 5SOS before and says she is really looking forward to getting to meet them.

Simrat's winning costume :D

Congratulations to Simrat, who will have an awesome time going to DerpCon!

There are only a few more winner's to be put on here and then it will be DERPCON TIME! I can't wait!

Catch you guys later,

Love @5SOSFamDerpCon

DerpCon Winner - USA (Spotify)

Hello again everyone! :D

Today I bring you the winner for the USA Spotify playlist competition and it was lucky 14 year old Alison ( @pizzaloner ) who the competition! 

For this competition, entrants had to create a playlist using Spotify and the playlist had to include Amnesia. The winner was drawn at random and as Alison said, lucky for her to be chosen at random! :)

I asked Alison to tell me all about where she was when she was contacted and how she reacted, "They contacted me via email. I was in class at the time and couldn't wait to open it so I did and seconds later I was out of my chair screaming and crying that I won. I ended up getting yelled at but how could you not scream when you're gonna meet your idols?"

She has a point there, I think everyone would have reacted the same!

Alison continues on, "After class I looked like a crazy person screaming that I won through the halls and down the street!"

"Right now I am beyond excited and happy. I've been awake since 5am excited for what is to come!"

When I asked Alison what she was most looking forward to about DerpCon she replied, "I'm mostly looking forward to seeing them in real life and seeing them smile, because their smiles bring me happiness."

Alison has never met 5SOS before but has saw them live on the 1D tour.

Alison will join all the other winners at DerpCon in less than 1 week!

Ok everyone so this time next week DerpCon will be over, which is super sad but I am SO excited to see what they do at DerpCon and I bet you are too!! :D

Not that there are many left to go, but until the next winner,

love, @5SOSFamDerpCon

DerpCon Winner - Norway

Hey guys! Hope you are all well :)

This post has been long overdue so I apologize but today is all about the Norway DerpCon winner and that lucky girl is Lottie ( @Accuratehemmo ) who is 15 years old.

Lottie explained her experience of winning to me in a series of posts that to be honest is way to long for me to re-write so I will just insert all the pictures she sent me of her story and also it is all so good I can't cut any of it out because it is such a beautiful story! :D
















Hope you all don't mind the way I did this post but it was too long and too good of a story to cut any of it out! Here is Lottie's winning picture;




DerpCon is NEXT WEEK, so literally SO close and I can't wait!! :D

Until the next winner (not that there are many left!)

DerpCon Winner - USA (MTV)

Hi everyone!

Bringing you all another DerpCon winner, this time the lucky winner is Maria ( @happxlyirwxn ) who is 19 years old. Maria won the MTV Vine competition and she told me all about her win;

She explains what the competition entailed, "We had to make a vine and in a creative way say why your best friend deserved to go to DerpCon."

If you guys are interested to see Maria's vine you can click here to watch it :D

Maria tells me all about that moment when she was told she as the winner, "It was funny actually, me and my friend (Nicole) that I entered the contest with were waiting outside in line for the Hoodie Allen concert and I got a notification saying MTV had followed me and they also had followed Nicole as well. We didn't want to get our hopes up right then as we wanted to enjoy the concert."

She continues on, "We were standing at the Merch line by now and Nicole suggested I check twitter quickly, so I did and saw that MTV had DMed me!"

Maria then went on to explain how she reacted in that moment; "I just started bawling and shaking and I showed her the message and she starting screaming and hitting me! The entire night we kept looking at each other in shock and we couldn't even concentrate on the concert!"

"Ever since, none of us have been able to sleep or eat properly! There isn't anything in the world that makes us happier than these boys and they're a huge reason as to why we became friends."

I asked Maria what she was most looking forward to about DerpCon, she responds; "Seeing our boys (duh!) meeting all the international fans and making new friends and seeing their show at the Forum. Going to the Forum has always been on my bucket list, so it is so surreal."

Maria and her friend have been lucky to have seen and met the boys before but this will be even more incredible for them both!


Congratulations to Maria and her friend Nicole who she is taking! :D


Until the next winner,

DerpCon Winner - Philippines (#2)

Welcome back to the blog everyone! Hope you are all doing well? :)

A couple of days ago I posted about the first Philippine DerpCon winner and luckily I was able to get in contact with the second one as well and she agreed to answer some of my questions for the blog!

The lucky 2nd Philippine winner is 13 year old Liz ( @lizsunga ) Like before, the entrants had to post a picture or video to Instagram around the song lyric from SLSP "Your lipstick stain is a work of art" Liz explained to me what she and her friend did for their entry;

"We went to a local park and had a small meet up/picnic/party with some street kids. We played games, had food and taught them SLSP. We made a video summarizing what we did and we labeled the kids' smiles as the art itself because nothing can beat the art of moments and smiles."

This entry was so unique in my opinion and truly deserves the recognition it got! :) 

Liz then told me all about how she found out that she had won and that she was going to DerpCon, "My mom was the first to find out. We were in a restaurant after school and she was like 'Sh!t' and I was like 'OMG what?' and then said 'You won!' I started crying right there, I cried for a solid half hour and rang all my friends and family."

"Right now I am in so much shock to even comprehend what is happening! I'm slightly stressed too as there is so much to get ready before going and so little time!"

I asked Liz what she was most looking forward to about DerpCon and she said, "I'm looking forward to having fun with the fam and meeting 5SOS! Not to mention the scenery of LA too!"

Liz has saw 5SOS perform before but having the experience of being one of the select few winners of DerpCon will be amazing!

Until the next time,

Keep derping! @5SOSFamDerpCon

DerpCon Winner - Spain

Hola everyone (I feel that is appropriate since this post is all about the Spanish DerpCon winner!)

So as you know now, Spain chose it's lucky DerpCon winner and that person was 17 year old Nuria ( @beside5sosx ) She told me everything that happened when she was chosen as the DerpCon winner to represent Spain :D

For the competition Nuria tells me; "I had to tweet my most emotional moment with 5sos with the hashtag #5SOSDERPCONSPAIN. I wrote many tweets so I don't know which one they chose but I think it probably was the one with a vine where all my family was singing Wherever You Are for my cousin's birthday and I had to teach it all to them to surprise her." 

When told that she was the winner, Nuria explains to me; "The radio station called me and told me I was the winner and I couldn't even speak because I was crying."

On how she feels now, Nuria tells me; "I feel so lucky, this is the most important thing that has ever happened to me, I still can't believe it."

Nuria has been lucky enough to see 5SOS twice before. One at the airport when they came for 5countries5days and another when they were there for WWAT and they did a signing. Nuria told me; "I hope I get to tell them how much they mean to me and how much they have helped me."

I hope you get to tell them that too Nuria because you are such a deserving winner!


The lucky winner - Nuria


Congratulations once again, I know that you will have a brilliant time along with all the other winners!

Until the next winner,

@5SOSFamDerpCon

DerpCon Winner - Philippines (#1)

HELLO! Literally DerpCon is in 7 days and if that doesn't excite you then maybe reading about the Philippines DerpCon winner might!! :D

There are two winners from the Philippines and I was lucky to chat with one of them and that lucky girl was 17 year old Barbara ( @BarbaraJance ) (she also added that she will be 18 on the 28th of November, 1 week and a day after Michael's 19th birthday! :D ) 

Barbara explained to me what she and her friend had to do to enter DerpCon, "We had to either make an instagram video or photo inspired by the SLSP lyric 'Your lipstick stain is a work of art.' but add a Filipino twist to it! Along with it we had to add a description as to why we (best friend and I ) deserved to win."

I asked Barbara to tell me how she reacted when she found out that she had won, "The company sent me a text, just before hand I had sent a tweet saying how even being in the top 10 finalists was so surreal for me, so when I got that text time sorta slowed down and it took me a while before I started to scream because I was in so much shock!"

She continues, "In that moment I dashed down the stairs (almost falling over!) ran out of my house barefoot to my friends house (she lives about 20 seconds away) and I screamed her name and rang her doorbell like 10 billion times and then finally told her and for like the next hour we just screamed!"

"How I feel right now is indescribable! Just typing, my hands are shaking! I'm so grateful this happened."

I asked Barbara what she and her friend were most looking forward to about DerpCon and she said, "We can't wait to hear the album live! We've heard the songs forever and to finally hear it live with the boys playing their instruments is just out of this world!"

You can check out Barbara's winning entry on her instagram, here is a screenshot from it - 



Barbara has never met or saw 5SOS perform before so this experience will be extra special for her! :D

Congratulations to Barbara and her friend Alexis who she is taking with her :)

Until next time,

@5SOSFamDerpCon

Ps. I can't believe DerpCon is NEXT WEEK! And that these blog posts will be ending soon! :(

DerpCon Winner - Finland

Hi all, hope everything is going good with you? :)

Finland DerpCon winner was chosen recently and that person was lucky 19 year old Tiia! I got to chat with her all about her experience of winning :)

She tells me about her competition, "We had to make a 15 second long video doing something crazy. I decided to go swimming because it is freaking cold here in Finland!"

She explains to me what happened when she was told she was the winner; "I got a call from NRJ saying I had won and they played it on the radio. I was on my way to work and all my friends were looking at me when I was crying."

I asked her what she was most looking forward to about DerpCon and she told me; "I can't wait to meet all the other winners! I love meeting people who have the same music taste, it brings people together."

Tiia tells me how she is feeling now about winning; "I just can't believe that I have really won. It feels weird that a girl like me has won something this huge!"

Tiia has never met or saw 5SOS perform before so this will be her first 5SOS gig and she is so excited!!


Congratulations to Tiia for winning your DerpCon competition!

DerpCon is literally so close now and I can't wait to see what happens at it!

Until the next winner, love you guys!

DerpCon Winner - Holland (MTV)

Hi everyone, hope you are all well?

Sorry I was inactive over the weekend but it was Halloween and there was so many things that I went to that I didn't get time to update but anyway hope everyone had a great weekend! :D

MTV Holland held a DerpCon competition and the lucky winner was 20 year old Demi ( @dxmistyles ) and she was happy enough to share with us all her story :)

For this competition, entrants had to Photoshop themselves into a picture from 5SOS Instagram or Facebook, this is the winning picture that Demi submitted;



When I asked Demi to explain what happened when she won, she tells me; "I was at home putting together my new closet with my parents. I got a FB message saying MTV wanted my phone number. 5 minutes later they called me and told me that I had won, I was shaking so much, I couldn't believe it! The woman on the phone told me to listen and then freak out after, when she hung up I started crying."

After the shock of being told she had won, Demi tells me how she feels now after it has sunk in; "It's still really hard to believe that I have won! I keep thinking they are messing with me but then I see the emails and flight info and it's so unreal but it makes me so happy."

Demi has been lucky enough to see 5SOS perform 6 times during the WWA tour. She also got to meet them once before at an airport in Holland however she says her pictures didn't turn out good due to mobbing.

Demi also told me the thing that makes her happy about winning is that she gets to take her friend with her as her plus 1. She told me; "I called her and she had no idea. I asked her if she had anything planned for November 15/16 and she was so confused! Then I told her about winning DerpCon and if she wanted to join me. It makes me so happy to see how happy she is about it as well.  I am just so happy and excited and I can't even express in words how much this means to us!"

Congratulations to Demi and her friend who join all the other lovely DerpCon winners. 

Only less than 2 weeks to go everyone until DerpCon and we still have some winners to be announced!! 

Until next time,

@5SOSFamDerpCon

PS. Recently again, hate towards DerpCon winners is becoming an issue and I just want to say that this is not acceptable in any way and is in fact a form of cyber bulling. Please don't participate in any of the hate or listen to any of the comments that people may tweet. Thank you :)

DerpCon Winner - Brazil

Hello again everyone! :)

Another DerpCon winner was chosen recently and it was the lucky Mariana 
( @imtriplex ) who is 21 years old and she will be representing Brazil at DerpCon in LA on November 16th! :D

I got the chance to chat with her and talk all about her experience of winning! :) She tells me; "To enter the competition we had to make a 5 second video showing our love for 5SOS. I made a stop motion of myself skateboarding, running and paddling to get to Hollywood to see the 5SOS concert."


Some snapshots of Mariana's video
When she found out she had won, Mariana tells me; "I heard my name on the radio, I didn't know if what I heard was true or not! 

She continues, "First, I got very anxious and thought I was going to be sick. My friend called me and I couldn't speak properly!"

On how she feels now about the prospect of going to DerpCon, Mariana tells me, "I am very excited! Especially because we don't know anything about DerpCon, like where it is going to be! And I can't wait to meet the boys and especially seeing them perform as they have never been to Brazil before!"

Mariana is the 16th DerpCon winner (that I have been able to get in contact with!) So congratulations to her! :D

DerpCon is literally just around the corner, so watch out as more winners will be unveiled in the coming week!

Until next time,

DerpCon Winner - Denmark

Hello 5SOS fam and others alike, Denmark chose it's DerpCon winner recently and today I bring you all the information about the winner!

The lucky winner for Denmark was 15 year old Emilie ( @EmilieA009 ) and she tells me all about her experience of how she won DerpCon!!

She explains what she and her friend did to enter; "We made a video where we sang Don't Stop and dressed up as superheroes. Like an imitation of the Don't Stop music video." 

You can watch Emilie's video on her Instagram - @emiliea009


To announce the winners, Denmark brought all the DerpCon finalists to a cinema in Copenhagen, when Emilie found out she won she explains; "A video of the boys played on the screen and they told us that we had won! It was so crazy, we cried and cried!" 

After all the excitement of winning and reflecting on the whole thing Emilie tells me; "I feel so blessed. I can't believe that I actually won. It's just so surreal."

Emilie has never met the boys and has never saw them perform before so she is really excited to have the opportunity to go and finally et to do those things!

Congratulations to Emilie, Denmarks' DerpCon winner! A truly deserving winner :)

Until the next DerpCon winner,

Lots of love, @5SOSFamDerpCon

DerpCon Winner - Austria

Hello lovely people! The Austrian DerpCon winner was announced recently and I was able to get the chance to talk to her all about her experiences of winning this amazing competition! :) Her name is Elisa ( @voodxxmuke ) who is 16 years old (17 in 4 weeks!)

She tells me all about what she had to do to enter the Austrian competition; "All we had to do was take a picture of ourselves and write a message for 5SOS. For my entry I actually drew a picture of the boys and then photoshopped myself into the picture."


Elisa's amazing drawing of 5SOS!!
On when she was contacted to say she had won, Elisa explains to me; "I was out eating pizza with my parents when I got the email that I had won. At first I thought it was a bad joke, I read the email 10 times over! When I realized it wasn't fake I completely freaked out! I was kinda embarrassed because people in the restaurant stared at me weirdly but at the same time I didn't give a f**k, I was just so happy!"

Since winning DerpCon, Elisa tells me; "I haven't stopped smiling, I still can't believe it, I probably won't believe it until I am actually there! I never thought I would win, I just hoped for the best."

To me Elisa seems like a very deserving winning to go to DerpCon, she put in so much effort to her entry. She has never met 5SOS before but she does have tickets to their tour next year, which she is really excited about as well. 

Congratulation to Elisa, nearly all DerpCon winners are being announced soon so if you have entered a competition make sure to look out! :)

Until next time,

DerpCon Winner - Australia (Bump Show #2)

Hi everyone, another DerpCon winner comes to us today in the form of the second Australian Bump Show winner, she is called Cloe ( @cloesmoothly ) who is 17 years old.

For her entry, Cloe entered at the FanCam in the shopping centre and she also entered online, where they had to answer a 5sos related question. I got Cloe to tell me everything about winning DerpCon and so she tells me; "The day before the winner was announced my mum got a call asking if all my details were correct and if I was allowed to go to DerpCon, although I wasn't the winner yet."

On the actual day that she was announced the winner, Cloe explains to me; "I had my HSC exams on the day, I woke up super early to see if I had won the sunrise competition, which I didn't and so I started freaking out incase they rang me during my exams but luckily they didn't!"

The day that Cloe was announced as the winner was the day that 5SOS were performing on the X Factor in Australia and she was going to see them at the show. She tells me; "When I got the phone call from them I was actually getting ready to go see them at the X Factor, I was actually naked talking to them as I had just gotten out of the shower!" I think that this is a hilarious story and the funniest story a DerpCon winner has had yet! :D

As 5SOS actually rang and spoke to Cloe personally live on the Bump Show she tells me; "I was sooo nervous speaking to them, I stumbled on my words and I said I was on the shower (instead of in it) and Michael thought I said I was on the shitter! Then Luke (my favourite) told me that I had won and that I was going to DerpCon!"

Cloe had a once in a lifetime opportunity of speaking to 5SOS on the radio and now she also got the news of going to DerpCon, she tells me; "I was just like 'This can't be real.' The first thing I did was ring my friends and family and told them all I had won. It's insane, I can't concentrate on my exams because I'm too excited!"

Cloe has never met 5SOS but she has seen them in concert in Sydney in 2013 and at the 1D concert. She has saw them live at their Sydney show this year and then at the X Factor on the day she was announced the winner! :) After going to see them that many times, Cloe definitely deserves to meet the boys, she says "I am so stoked to actually meet them!"

If you would like to listen to 5SOS calling Cloe on the radio, you can here (at 10:11) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHFDxV2PWuE


Congratulations to Cloe, the 2nd Australian DerpCon winner! 



Until the next winner,

Love @5SOSFamDerpCon

DerpCon Winner - France (@Fan2fr)


Hi everyone, hope you are all doing great! :)

Another DerpCon winner was announced and it was for the Fan2 France competition, so congratulations to Moniek ( @Supermoniek ) who is 15 years old :)

This competition (in my opinion!) has been the longest and most complex of them all as there were 3 stages in which you had to go through in order to win! The first stage was to send in a picture of yourself as a superhero, out of which 100 people were chosen to go through to the second stage. 


Moniek's superhero for the 1st stage

In the second stage you had to make a parody of the chorus of the lyrics from She Looks So Perfect and from this 50 people of the 100 were selected for the 3rd and final round which was to create a video of why you should go to DerpCon and why you are their number 1 fan. Out of the 50 finalists, 5 videos were chosen and then 5SOS chose the winner themselves.

Here is the link to Moniek's video for stage 3, it's really awesome! -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLjsfGkBEkI&feature=youtu.be 

When Moniek got DMed by Fan2fr she told me; "I didn't expect it at all, I thought someone else would win!"

She goes on; "I felt like crying and shaking. The first thing I did was called my best friend and then my mom and then my dad!

On when she was contacted to say she had won, Moniek said; "I was outside of school and I turned on my mobile data and saw the DM, I still can't believe it. I still think something will happen and I won't be able to go." Hopefully that doesn't happen!!

Moniek has never met or saw the boys before but is going to their 2015 tour :)

Congratulations to Moniek, who will have an amazing time at DerpCon!

Until the next time, love @5sosfamderpcon

DerpCon Winner - Portugal

A new DerpCon winner has been announced and it is for the Portugal competition! The lucky winner is 17 year old Rita ( @ARitaSilveira ) 

On what she had to do to win, Rita explained to me; "I had to make a video in 5 Seconds showing them why I really wanted to go to DerpCon."

When Rita was contacted to say that she had won she tells me that; "I wasn't expecting it because I thought I didn't have any opportunity of winning!"

She goes on to say, "I was in school when they called and I was shaking so much, I almost fainted!"

Rita also told me that she has never saw them live before or met them because they had to cancel their opening act for WWA tour in Portgual, so she is so excited to finally see them live as well as go to DerpCon!

On how she is feeling now about winning, Rita tells me; "I still can't believe it I am really nervous, I have never felt like this before."

Congratulations to Rita, a very deserving winner! I hope you enjoy yourself in LA at DerpCon!

We are getting closer now to DerpCon, it is just under a month to go!! And there are still DerpCon winners to be announced!!

Until next time, love

DerpCon Winner - Australia (Bump Show)

As you all probably are aware, the lucky Australian winners were contacted by 5SOS themselves on Monday 13th October and I was able to get in contact with one of the lucky three Australian DerpCon winners.

Her name is Marli (@marlibermingham ) and she is 15 years old. 

Marli entered the Australian 'fancam' competition online. On how she was contacted she says; 

"When I got the call I didn't think it was them! I was too shocked to even talk and I was a crying mess!"

Marli tells me that she has been lucky enough to see 5SOS in concert before but has never actually met them.

Overall, on winning the competition Marli says that; "I am over the moon, this is too good to be true! I can't talk to anyone without shaking and crying!"


Lucky Marli will be joining the other DerpCon winners in LA in just under a months time!

Until next time, keep derping! haha :D

love, @5SOSFamDerpCon
