NEW CONTEST

Win $500 CASH! Enter the SISTA HOOD Movie Poster Contest!

Deadline: DECEMBER 15, 2006

Who? This contest is open to young people ages, 14 to 30.

What? E-Fierce is adapting her book THE SISTA HOOD: ON THE MIC into a screenplay for film. She is creating a contest to allow her audience the opportunity to conceptualize a movie poster for THE SISTA HOOD film and then work with URBAN ENVY the dope artist that designed THE SISTA HOOD website and all the characters for MY SPACE to shape final sketches for the three semi-finalists. THE SISTA HOOD movie poster contest is an opportunity for (3) semi-finalist to work with a professional artist to shape the final version of their poster and for (1) winner to receive a $500 cash prize. The winner will also have the opportunity to have his/her poster used for promotional purposes of THE SISTA HOOD film.

What must I do?

1) Buy a copy of THE SISTA HOOD: ON THE MIC. Read the book so you have an idea of what it's about before you can conceptualize a movie poster and logline.

2) Complete the attached submission form or download and fill out the contest cover sheet posted on THE SISTA HOOD website at www.thesistahood.com. Download and sign the release form on the website. 3) You must write a one to two sentence logline for the film. Examples of loglines and how to write them are below and will also be posted on the website.

4) Design a sketch for what the poster would look like. Examples of final movie posters are posted below or on the website. This can be sketch as we are really looking for concept and artistic ability.

By When?

1) By December 15th at 5PM EST you must either snail mail or email your sketch and logline to the addresses below. Meaning the sketch and logline must be in the office by 5PM, not POSTMARKED.

2) By January 8th, 2007 a winner will be chosen to work with professional artist/designer Urban Envy to create a more professional poster. This will be due by February 28th. The drawing will be posted to the website. The winner will also win $500.

Where do I send it?

Must be in the office by 5PM, EST on December 15, 2006.

How do I write a logline? What is a logline anyway?

Write a one sentence TV Guide style logline emphasizing both the external storyline and the internal one. An example would be this logline for E.T.: A shy, alienated boy bonds with an extraterrestrial child who's been stranded on earth; the boy defies the adults to help the alien contact his mothership so he can go home.

Don't limit yourself to the set-up or the plot, emphasize the unique elements of your script that enable audiences to connect with the situation and identify with the hero. Think of the logline as a commercial for the movie.
