# Want a free seat for my TDD class in march? Propose a challenge.

By Roy Osherove February 21, 2011 In [Unit Testing](https://osherove.com/blog/category/unit-testing)

**Historical article** · Originally published February 21, 2011; technical details may be outdated.

In a few weeks I will be giving a full two day TDD class in .NET, [in London, at the SkillsMatter facilities](http://londontdd.eventbrite.com/).

To celebrate the first course ever that I am doing “alone” (without any host organizing things for me), I’m giving away **one free seat** for the full two days (it does not include flight or hotel costs).

But who to select? Ah. a challenge is in order!

Propose a challenge that I’ll ask people to do – anything that people could share online relating to unit testing in some way.

some things I’m considering (but happy to hear better ideas) :

- Tell your worst war stories relating to unit testing\\TDD
- Make a short video about unit testing\\tdd
- write the best sob story on why you deserve it
- bribes
- selling the ticket on ebay
- naked pict…. never mind.

any idea is welcome. as you can see, I’m struggling.

I will declare this challenge within 3 days.
