Hollywood Haikus Competition
Hollywood Haikus Competition
Enter your Hollywood Haiku and win a Blu-Ray Player and links to your blog!
The concept is pretty simple: rather than write hundreds of bloody words describing, assessing and ultimately judging a film, we want you to pour all of your analytical juices into a lovely haiku (ie, 3 lines: 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables – we know that’s not technically how it works, but let’s not get snarky, eh?) The best one will win a brand new Blu-ray player worth £140, and pride of place on Best For Film! See below for prizes.
“Some examples DAMMIT”, we hear you demand like a pack of rabid, poetry-loving apes. Here you go then…
Aladdin
Just goes to show you
Never throw out old carpets
and keep your lamps buff
The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King
You can’t help but feel
the eagles could have turned up
a bit earlier
Easy, right?
We want you to stick your glorious poetry on YOUR blogs, with a link to the comp – it means that we get to know a lot more about you lot out there, and find out what sort of blogs we can and should be reading! We want to get more people writing inventively about film, as well as RAISING UP the profiles of as yet undiscovered blog-brilliance!
The prizes:
The closing date for entries is 23 May 2011. 1st prize: Sony Blu-ray player from the Best For Film shop worth £140.00.
