When I heard the news that I had won the Gaydio Radio and Skopes Menswear competition, I was absolutely ecstatic!

When I heard the news that I had won the Gaydio Radio and Skopes Menswear competition, I was absolutely ecstatic! 

Skopes, Westfields, London

This was the first time in my life that I had ever won a large prize, and I was thrilled beyond words. 

The prize included a stay at the Hoxton Shepherds Bush Hotel in London, as well as £500 to spend at Skopes Menswear.

I have always been a fan of Gaydio Radio, and I love their music and their commitment to the LGBTQ+ community. So, when I saw the competition advertised on their website, I was immediately drawn to it. I thought it would be a great way to win a luxurious stay in London and some new clothes to treat myself.

I entered the competition with a little bit of trepidation, but I also felt excited about the possibility of winning. When I received the email telling me that I had been selected as the winner, I couldn't believe my eyes! I was so happy and grateful for this amazing opportunity.

The Hoxton Shepherds Bush Hotel is a beautiful boutique hotel located in the heart of Shepherds Bush, London. It has a stylish and modern interior, and it is the perfect place to relax and unwind. I had a wonderful time exploring the hotel and its surroundings.

The £500 prize from Skopes Menswear was another fantastic perk of winning the competition. I was able to choose some new clothes that I love. I am so grateful to both Gaydio Radio and Skopes Menswear for this amazing experience.

This win has been a dream come true for me, and I am so excited to cherish the memories of my stay in London. I would encourage anyone to enter competitions like this, as you never know what you might win!
