Competition
On our site we have used (within the laws of copyright!) other people’s words and images to evoke some complex responses to reading and books. As Julia Kristeva says, ‘any text is constructed as a mosaic of quotations’ – please help us add some more.
We will be looking for entries that are most relevant to our current themes, and which extend them surprisingly or interestingly.
Quotations must come from published sources and be properly referenced. Pictures must have necessary permissions and copyright clearance. Pictures also need to work successfully (cropping is allowed) in the wide landscape format we have used. Pic file sizes should be at least 0.5 Mb (JPEG).
The winner will be announced on 15 January 2007. Please send your entries by 29 December 2006 to competition@therunninghead.com; they will be acknowledged on receipt.
