    Global Twilight Superfan Competition

    14.01.11 | Permalink | Comment?

    There’s another competition that anyone in the world can enter. Are you a Twilight Superfan? Can you prove your superfandom somehow? Because if you can you and ten others could get to meet and spend time with Stephenie Meyer. Where and for how long I do not know! Presumably it will be somewhere cool (a castle! a cruise ship!) and for just long enough (but not so long that conversation dries up).

    Good luck, Superfans!

    Google Global (!) Youth Science Fair

    14.01.11 | Permalink | Comment?

    Google is running a Global Science Fair for teens. As it is global, anyone in the world can enter. Even a NZer. Especially a NZer, since we’re quite good at innovation and science. Entrants (i.e. everyone reading this I hope*) need to be between the ages of 13 and 18, and can work solo or in groups of up to three. You enter it online obviously! 

    *The prizes are beyond awesome. They are actually epic. Guys you need to win this.

    Best of 2010Was 2010 a good book year?

    Tell us which book (or books) you thought was (or were) the best this year – if you’re lucky enough you could even win a spot prize*. Fill in the form below, or (coming soon) do it the old-fashioned way at a library branch near you.

    The close-off date for sharing your opinions is Friday 17 December, so go to it.

    Can’t remember what you’ve read? Have a look at some of the new books posts to jog your memory – perhaps your favourite is in there somewhere. Or, or, it could be in one of the Most Wanted lists here.

    * Ahem: spot prize can obviously only be won by people who let us know their name and card number.

    Re-Draft, an annual competition for teenage writers is on again. Your work could be selected for publication by judges Tessa Duder and James Norcliffe. Check in your school library for last year’s copy of the Re-Draft book ‘Fishing for Birds’ and you’ll find the entry form in the back. Good luck!

    O.S.T. Competition: Part Two

    13.05.10 | Permalink | Comment?

    Hey, remember the O.S.T. Competition? Oh good. You will of course recall that part one involved you re-imagining any YA book as a movie, then compiling it’s soundtrack. What an easy way to win prizes you probably thought. Well, part two is now open and it’s more involved, but you’ll win better prizes.

    Now you must design the cover art for said soundtrack. There are no real restrictions on entries, you can bring in a printed version to any library, or email an electronic version to teenblog@wcl.govt.nz . We’ll display all the artwork we receive during Youth Week (22-30 May), which means you could be (semi)famous.

    Synthesiser Patel said he would make a trophy for the winner, so there’s that too.
