Brad Paisley is heading back to school! Well, sort of. In the spirit of his new single “Last Time For Everything” from his number-one album LOVE AND WAR, Brad has announced a very special contest open only to seniors getting ready to graduate. Brad’s “Class of 2017 ‘Last Time for Everything’ Contest” is looking fans to submit posts on either INSTAGRAM or TWITTER using the hashtag #BPGrad17Contest with their answers to the question: “What ‘Last Time’ are you going to miss most about school?” Brad will pick the winner, who will great a Brad Paisley performance for their graduation class.

The contest runs from now through May 25, 11:59 pm Eastern Time,  Those interested in submitting posts may draw inspiration from the lyrics of “Last Time for Everything,” or come up with their own very personal story…but there’s only one post per person allowed…you can only have one last time. For all the rules to the contest, click HERE.

Brad says that the school experience is very much behind the creation of the song “”The heart of the song ‘Last Time For Everything’ for me is, the senior year of high school. When you’re saying good bye to an entire group of people that you’ve been on a journey with for years. Life if full of those moments, but the thing about high school is you realize, things are changing, and that’s the heart of the song ‘Last Time For Everything.’ And this time of year as kids throw their caps in the air, and they wear those gowns, and they march up on a stage and get their diploma…there’s nothing that illustrates this song better.”

So, once again, if you want Brad Paisley to perform for your graduating class, think of your best “last time” and post it at INSTAGRAM or TWITTER using the hashtag #BPGrad17Contest

“Hey, all you graduating seniors, this is Brad Paisley. There’s a Last Time For Everything, and I will never forget, the last time I was all together with my high school class, before our ten year reunion, which of course, a lot of them didn’t make. You’re never going to forget these days in your life, this is the gateway to great things in your life, but it’s also the closing of a chapter. Tell me what you’ll miss most after graduation, using #BPGrad17contest on Twitter or Instagram, and I’ll choose one winner, and come perform for your entire senior class.”
