If you work best under pressure, The Life Before Her Eyes Poetry Contest just might be one to inspire you to get some of your work out there, paid for and read by people you don't know. Might lead to a nice way to meet and greet, practice social skills, show off your talents, bask in the glow of pride. Fun, yes? You could ENTER TO WIN $500! Nothing to sneeze at (gesundheit) Pretend the part about laying your ego on the line is the least aspect of the venture. "The Life Before Her Eyes" is a movie made by the same director, Vadim Perleman, who created "House of Sand and Fog", one of the more devastatingly powerful movies to come out in recent years.
Moving backwards and forwards in time, "The Life Before Her Eyes" combines the dramatic intensity of "Sophie's Choice" with the eerie mystery of a ghost story like "The Others."
How much more does a contest need to be totally compelling?? Not much. "The Life Before Her Eyes" explores the reverberations stemming from the collision of past and future, reality and dream.
They are asking us to submit poems that capture a moment in our lives in which we had to make a difficult choice and how that choice impacted the course of our lives.
Please email entries to poetry (at) magpicture (dot) com. Enter your poems by May 8th to win the Grand Prize $500 Amazon.com gift card, or be one of five runners up to win $100 Amazon.com gift card.
