Amazon Announces Semi-Finalists For the Beedle The Bard Ballad Contest
Amazon has announced the semi finalists for the Beedle The Bard Ballad Writing Contest.
Through May 11, 2008, Amazon customers are invited to vote for their favorite submission in both age groups. Each winner will receive a $1,000 Amazon Gift Certificate, as well as the opportunity to square off in another round of customer voting–beginning May 13–to determine the Grand Prize winner of the trip for two to London, England and a weekend with The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
In order to vote, you must be signed in to a valid Amazon.com account (account holders for amazon.ca, amazon.co.uk, amazon.fr, and amazon.de should automatically qualify). Make your choice carefully and vote just once–your first vote is the only one that will count.

I don’t see Greg’s name listed. He probably refrained from entering since he would have surely won and wanted to give the general public a chance. Yeah I’m sure that is it.;)

Hey Penny!!! Did you saw Alan Rickman in SweeneyTodd? …. I didn’t know he could sing…

Uh my daughter made me watch it. The singing part is still debatable if you ask me. It’s cool as you see worm tail, Bellatrix, Snape in it. Kinda like a Love Boat show for HP actors.

Did you guys read the 13 and under category?
They where really good. No wonder mine didn’t get in. Also, I didn’t know that it was supposed to be poetry. I’m sure I read no poetry.

They never insinuated that we were supposed to write poetry.
I am trying not to get too worked up about this.

Michal - for what ti is worth I thought your entry was better than the ones chosen.
I shall put in a word with Greg to allow you an exclusive glimpse of the book “Patterns in Potter” when it comes out.

I thought that the entries for 13 and under where really good. I was impressed, and it was hard to chose who to vote for.
