Celebrating women

Join us in celebrating women and win £50

To coincide with Sex and the City 2 being released at the end of this month we are running a new competition entitled ‘Celebrating women’.

To enter please submit any piece you like under the category ‘Celebrating women’, it can be an image, article, poem or video, or any other format you choose.

To view entires received so far click here.

To kick things off, I’ve put together this video parodying the new John Lewis ad using photographs of women around me being themselves and enjoying life their way.




To put your own version together it is really quite straightforward:

Sign up at www.onetruemedia.com where you can easily upload images and music and create the video.

Get started


You can download the MP3 of the ad by going to this URL: www.listentoyoutube.com, then entering this URL when prompted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMtyOCoqHTk

Enter URL




Download MP3




When you have finished creating your video at www.onetruemedia.com click to ‘share’ it on YouTube.

If you’re happy with the video on YouTube click ‘embed‘ at the bottom right of your video then copy and paste the embed code that appears in the box into the body of your article submission.

YouTube




You can use whatever software you like to create your video but we can only accept video entries that are served from YouTube. If you are having problems with the embed code then put the URL of your YouTube video in the body of the article you submit and we’ll do the rest.

    Thank you to everyone who entered. Congratulations to Afroben whose poem 'Sojourner's Truth' had the most unique views of all valid entries and therefore won. Some exciting D2G news will be coming soon but in the meantime please keep submitting your writing - we welcome articles on any subject; from Death to Glamour, whatever is on your mind.
