The winner of the Weekly LitWit Challenge 8.9: I lost/found it at the movies is…
Jeff Daniels and Mia Farrow prepare to enter the movie in Woody Allen’s The Purple Rose of Cairo. Our top 5 Woody Allen movies in no particular order: Love and Death, Annie Hall, Manhattan, Take the Money and Run (sentimental attachment), The Purple Rose of Cairo.
Chosen by our contest judge, screenwriter, producer and our shopping/salon buddy Raymond Lee.
“My winner is jaime’s piece (#7). It’s not the best written—the sophomoric and soporific first sentence, for instance, is entirely unnecessary. But it’s the most convincing, least self conscious, and (therefore) most affecting entry. Naniwala ako—o at least gusto kong maniwala—na nangyari nga ito sa tunay na buhay. Wala rin siyang masyadong borloloy. It’s an effective demonstration that sparse can be expansive.”
Congratulations, jaime! You may pick up your prize—Php2,500 in National Bookstore gift certificates—at the Customer Service counter at National Bookstore in Power Plant Mall, Rockwell, Makati, any day starting Tuesday, 5 June 2012. You need to show them an official ID.
The Weekly LitWit Challenge is brought to you by our friends at National Bookstore.
