Following our recent totalBarça Exclusive: Interview with The Champions Ring, the fine folks at The Champions Ring donated a 2010/11 UEFA Champions League print to the totalBarça community.  Originally, we thought it would be great to just keep the gorgeous print for ourselves by dividing it up into 30 small pieces while framing them to distribute to the entire totalBarça team.  Then, we realized it would be more fulfilling to just award it to one lucky contest winner, while keeping the print in tact.  We are pretty sure that Deroy at The Champions Ring would prefer that as well.

How do you enter the contest?  Why after the jump of course…
