At this month's forum meeting, the membership present discussed the Ezine and how we could best promote writing for its sections. It was unanimously decided that giving writing for it a competitive edge could add an extra dimension and increased relevance to content.
Each month, we will be running a competition for writing in two different Ezine categories. The winning entries will be selected by the Ezine category host and either Michael or Ian. That entry will be starred in the Ezine, and the winning entrant in each category receive free forum entry for the month in which he/ she won.
This month's categories are:
ARTS and ENTERTAINMENT
Write a review of a film or book, or a play. How about a music cd, or a performance that you recently went to? Or you might decide to describe a trip to an art gallery, or a museum. Think outside of the box, and put some personality in your piece. 300 or 400 words should be more than ample.
SPOOF
Write a spoof letter to the editor. You decide the subject, just make it a little light hearted, maybe even tongue in cheek. Or could you write a letter that describes an "actual" happening? Remember the Panorama Spaghetti April Fools? The choice is yours
Send entries to wordplaycompetitions@mail.com as a word document attachment by April 1st!
