    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.
