Tuppence Entertainment Magazine's August Writing Competition

Online, September 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Tuppence Entertainment Magazine isn't just about its own opinions, but about its readers' thoughts too, so its review of the month writing competition was set up to celebrate the best reviews submitted. The winners not only get the priceless knowledge that their submission was the best out there, but they also scoop the bumper prize pack that's set aside for the winner.

The illustrious prize for July, which went to Stoke-On-Trent's own Martin Leese for his review of China Meiville's Kraken, included a slightly soiled copy of My Booky Wook, by Russell Brand, a played once and under-appreciated Transformers 2 DVD and the amazing Family Guy Something, Something, Something, Dark Side DVD with the digital copy partially thumbed but completely intact. However, the August prize of the behemoth Them Crooked Vultures album and a slightly beat-up copy of Hans Fallada's Alone in Berlin were left without a winner.

Consequently, the prize has rolled over into September with the addition of Brandon Flowers' first solo album, Flamingo.

All readers of the entertainment news & reviews website have to do to enter is to submit a review, so If you have read a book, listened to an album, been to a gig, seen a film, watched something on the TV, seen a show, played a computer game, been to an exhibition, eaten out or bought something recently and want to write about it then you're well on your way to being in with a shout. Maybe you've had a sneak play on the Xbox 360 Kinect and could write a full review in advance of its official launch.

If we don't have a winner in September then the prizes will roll over and be topped up with other stuff that happens to be lying around; like albums that we review, or computer games that we have played to breaking point. However, better than all of the prize giveaways that there'll be, writers also get the knowledge that their review was the best of the best for a month, and nobody can take that away from you. Some things are a matter of pride.
