LIGHTS, CAMERA, DYLAN!

So, I was thinking how nice it would be to have a book trailer for Dear Dylan...
And I was also thinking how nice it would be to run another competition for readers...

And then I had a light-bulb moment and thought, why don't I have a competition to find the official Dear Dylan book trailer? After all, who better to capture the heart of a book on film than someone who has read it, feels passionately about it, and wants to create their own, visual interpretation of it?


I've run a lot of competitions over the years but none have got me this excited.


So here's the fun LARGE PRINT STUFF before I get on to the official Terms and Conditions.

• Entrants must be aged 18 or under
• Trailers must be between 60 and 90 seconds long
• Entries should be sent to: siobhancurham[AT]yahoo[DOT]co[DOT]uk by Monday 9th July 2012
• The winning entry will become the OFFICIAL DEAR DYLAN BOOK TRAILER and will be used by myself and my publisher, Electric Monkey to promote the book
• The winner will also receive a £1oo Amazon voucher and a signed copy of Dear Dylan
• The two runners up will each receive a £25 Amazon voucher and a signed copy of the book

Fancy making the official Dear Dylan trailer?
