Most people love movies. Perhaps you like comedies, or action movies, or romantic dramas. One common element that binds films is the music that sets the tone, both through original score and with the inclusion of songs that help to drive the story or to serve as a great backdrop during specific scenes.
For April's contest, the theme is "INSPIRED BY MOVIE SONGS". There are tons of possibilities here. The only requirement is that the song must have appeared in a movie or on a soundtrack. As usual, I have a few thoughts of my own on this topic, so I may try to get a post out in the next few days myself.
Please keep in mind that the post doesn't have to discuss the movie at all, just the song and why you like it.
So, bring out your favorite movie song(s) and share them in order to earn some guaranteed bonus points! As with our previous contests, the scoring is relatively generous for the winners (see all details below).
THE RULES:
THE JUDGING:
The judges will be the founders of the Inspired By Song! group (Adam Waldman, Paul Slaybaugh and Me).
Although the judges are free to comment on any and all of the entries, any comments made during the contest will not be an indication of the final results.
THE PRIZES:
Grand prize winner - 1000 points
500 points for up to five honorable mention posts
200 points just for entering the contest (These points are in addition to the 200 points that you receive for every post, and whatever bonus points that you get for comments from Active Rain).
Let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see a lot of great entries this time!
