&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#ED1C24" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration by lottery.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Here's how the lottery work: anytime between Dec 1 and Dec 15, you can sign up for the event by adding your name to the event "waitlist." It doesn't matter when you sign up as long as it's before the deadline on Dec 15th.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

If your name is selected you will be notified, and payment will secure your spot. All others will be placed on the waitlist as per the lottery outcome. As spaces open up, you will be notified.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
