Read This! National Year of Reading Creative Reading Prize - website coming soon!
A BIG apology to all those who are keen to get more info about Read This! The website for the National Year of Reading's Creative Reading Prize for teenage readers is nearly finalised and will be operational well in time for the competition's entry start date on March 1. Here's how it'll look when it goes live!
Meanwhile, here's what YOU can do to get your entry ready for the day.
1. Choose your book. What is your absolute favourite read since you first set eyes on a book?
2. Choose the best medium for your response. Does your book have a cast of crazy characters that just beg to have their future life stories told in the form of 'what happened next?' fan fiction? Maybe the brooding atmosphere is setting off your inner soundtrack composer. Or your inner poet. Or your film making abilities in the form of a book trailer. The possibiliies are endless.
3. Be aware of copyright rules when you put your entry together. Go to http://www.insideadog.com.au/teachers/copyright if you are confused about use of music / images / etc. On this page you will find links to websites that contain music and images that you can legally use.
4. Most important - get started NOW. Most of the world's most awesome artistic creations took a bit more than a day to complete - so why not yours?
