I Won't Be Entering The "Be The Star of Your Own Movie" Contest 

 

Last year when Roger Mucci ran the first "Be The Star of Your Own Movie" contest, the identities of his three judges for the contest were kept a secret.   Roger asked the three judges to each write a post.... a false "entry" for the contest... so others couldn't figure out who the judges were by process of elimination.

I was one of those judges.  

My faux entry was entitled   "You Don't Need A DeLorean To Get Back To The Future"

back to the future

Brilliant, if I do say so myself.

Anyways.....this year I'm once again one of Roger's judges.

 This year it's no secret I'm a judge.

 

This year I don't need to show you no stinkin' entry! 

 

Sure, I could write a creative"movie" related post, make some PhotoShop magic, and kick some contest butt....but this year I don't have to! 

My very clever and entertaining post would probably be based on The Wizard of Oz.

 I could write about using Home Staging to create "no place like home" emotional appeal for buyers.

 I could list the "no brain, no heart, no courage" approach to preparing a house for sale.

 ActiveRain Oz

I won't be entering the Second Annual "Be A Star" Contest because

I'm a judge and I CAN'T WIN.

 

However, here's what you could win:

500 points just for entering

300 additional points for all entries received by midnight, February 15

The First Place Winner will receive 2000 points.

The Best Actress Winner will receive 1500 points.

The Best Actor Winner will receive 1500 points.

Contest?  There's a contest on ActiveRain and no one told me about it?  Oh wait, I'm Roger Mucci, and the Second Annual "Be A Star" Contest  is mine.   I'm so confused!  

This is great Sharon, hope those that didn't know about it do now and will be sending in their entries.

Sharon, this is an interesting contest.  I'm mulling it.  One reason to enter is that it could force me to finally figure out  YouTube.

Oh, too bad, Sharon.  The Wizard of Oz?  What a perfect movie for home staging!  Still, at least now I know who I have to suck up to to win!!!
