Contest: Win Tickets to Umiaq Skin Boat at Hot Docs

Posted by Jerrold Litwinenko / April 15, 2008

umiaq skin boat torontoHot Docs 2008 brings to Toronto a torrent of incredible documentaries from all over the world, and some from closer to home.

Umiaq Skin Boat, directed by Jobie Weetaluktuk, is the tale of a group of inspired Inuit elders from Inukjuak, Quebec. The group does something that is an important part of their rich cultural heritage but hasn't been done before the eyes of the people in over 50 years - they build a boat using the skins of seals, and embark on a nostalgic journey that reveals tales of survival in days past.

you gotta make this competition much harder. this is bollocks. winning over a matter of timing?

why not filter out the chumps, who may not even be interested and do something more intelligent? YOu;ve done it in the past- i believe you can do it again.

go blogTO.

In tomorrow's contest (again at 2pm and 3pm), readers will be asked to submit essays, to be judged by a panel of university professors ;)

Or make them write a 50 wd paragraph (no more no less) on a chosen topic, preferably related to the film up for grabs.
or a haiku or something that requires more than a simple google search. YOu, Jerrold, are more than qualified to judge.

I agree with the previous commenter. I also believe that you have all the time in the world to read essays, grade them and decide who's the qualified winner.

I didn't finish my essay containing the word 'docs' by 3 PM. Can I have an extension? If not, the children down at the orphanage will be really let down.
