Destiny Trailer Contest

Posted by Colleen Houck in Contests

 

DESTINY TRAILER CONTEST

We are running a very special contest right now. One you don't want to miss out on. Are you ready? You all better sit down. Sterling, my publisher, is not going to be making a Destiny book trailer. I know. I know. It's rough. BUT...I was talking about it with my movie guy, Raffi, and we thought it might be fun if a fan made a book trailer for TIGER'S DESTINY.

THE RULES: 

 

(1) Your book trailer has to be one minute or less

(2) There can't be any copyrighted material, meaning no music or images that are under copyright protection.

THE DEADLINE:

 

You'll have until the end of September to polish your trailer and then it must be submitted before midnight PST on Sept 30.

After that I will personally choose the top five book trailers and we will launch them on YouTube the first week of October. The trailer that gets the most likes by the end of October will win the grand prize!

THE REWARD:

 

Are you ready? Are you sure?

The winner of the TIGER'S DESTINY book trailer contest will not only receive an Ultimate Tiger Fan Prize Pack which includes the collector's edition boxed set, the exclusive edition of Tiger's Voyage, a giant stuffed white tiger to cuddle with, a concept art movie poster for Tiger's Curse The Movie, and all the audiobooks, BUT I will also fly to the winner's hometown, do a book event at their local bookstore or school, and take that person and a friend or family member out to a fancy restaurant where I will answer any and every question they want to ask.

NOTE: Before you ask, international fans may participate in the contest but be aware that the prize, though still fabulous, might not be exactly the same. 

THE SUBMISSIONS:

 

FIRST

COMPRESS YOUR TRAILER: You might want to compress your video before you submit it. For help, go to Vimeo Help for instructions on how to do that.

SECOND

UPLOAD YOUR TRAILER:  Go to tigerscurse.wetransfer.com to upload your video. Include your full name and best contact info in the message section.


I'm so excited to see your fabulous Destiny trailers! Good luck to all of you and happy book trailer making!

Next stop on the Destiny tour is Las Vegas, then Salem, OR, Salt Lake City, UT, and Phoenix, AZ.

The book was well done! But a quick question, on pg.129 it says mr.Kishan instead of mr.Kadam is it supposed to?
