EvClub

From The Evanescence Reference
EvClub

The EvClub was opened on September 22, 2006, just before the international release of The Open Door. It is the first official fan club ever started by the band. The club features exclusive photos and contests as well as personal blogs and an email account (username@evfanclub.com). Other perks include ticket pre-sales and Meet & Greet opportunities.


There is also a successful message board inside the club that features posts by the band (so far Amy and John are the only band members to actually post).
Admin: Sparkart
Head Moderator: DhammaSeeker


The price of joining is $24.95 for one year and includes a T-Shirt, a photo of Amy and a membership card.

The Contests

So far, the club has offered 4 contests.

Members were asked to use only 4 provided images (from the Lithium video photo shoot) to create a 1280x1024 desktop wallpaper image. The winner got their entry hosted on the club website in addition to an autographed poster and a t-shirt. The winner was isaymeow

Almost Famous - Concert Review

"In 500 words or less, compose a detailed concert review from an Evanescence show that happened between March 1, 2006 and March 1, 2007.

EvClub Insider

Status: Open For Entries (Los Angeles Residents Only)
Three lucky winners will get to attend a few selected events in the LA area. The making of the Sweet Sacrifice Video will span two days (March 9 and 10), and one winner will be selected to be the behind-the-scenes EvClub photographer for each day. Also, the final winner will attend the Live performance on The Jimmy Kimmel Show (March 14) to photograph the event for the club. To enter, members are asked to fill out a questionaire and send it in via email. The contest is only open to LA residents because airfare/accomidations are not offered.

Fan Package

First Year

In the clubs first months, delivery of the fan package had been delayed for quite some time for unknown reasons and was expected to include a key chain.

Item Description

EvFanclubletter1.jpg The fan club letter. Note that the source photo of the band did not actually include Tim, as he was not with the band when it was taken. He was added later, digitally.

The Letter reads:
