Dance Umbrella 2003 Posting Competition

Every two weeks during Dance Umbrella we will be giving up to three prizes for
the best posting in the Dance Umbrella 2003 Forum. It may be a well-argued
review, a witty comment, a celebration of an artist, a memory of a previous Dance Umbrella performance or whatever.

Arrangements:

- The winners will receive their choice of the Anniversary Gala poster (A3),
the Catalogue from the Chris HArris exhibition at the Theatre Museum or
the Festival Souvenir Programme and the winning entries will be published
online in "ballet-dance monthly".

- The three competitions will cover messages posted to the forum in the
periods:
up till 18 Oct.; 19 Oct. - 30 Oct., 31 Oct - 12th Nov.

- No need to fill out an entry form, just post your comments and we'll do
the rest.

- The judgement of the Dance Umbrella team on all matters connected with
the Competition will be final.

- CriticalDance Moderators and Administrators and Dance Umbrella employees
and are not eligable for the Competition.
