Here at Movieline readers have to work for their hard-earned prizes, but today we have a haiku contest that should also engage your inner child and tap into the most whimsical, fantastical depths of your imagination: Write an original haiku inspired by this weekend’s colorful and witty Snow White retelling Mirror Mirror — a movie featuring heroines in swan dresses and people wearing boats as hats ! — and you could win dinner and a movie for four! The family-friendly fairytale from director Tarsem Singh ( The Cell , The Fall , Immortals ) stars Lily Collins as Snow White, a princess living under the thumb of her power-hungry stepmother the Queen (Julia Roberts). When a dashing prince arrives in the kingdom, Snow White is sent to her death but finds refuge with a band of diminutive bandits, becoming a bandit princess and a champion for the people. Stay for the credits or you’ll miss the Bollywood dance number! So: The contest! Take inspiration from Tarsem’s vivid, bold fairytale ( Click for a gallery of Mirror Mirror’s fantastic designs and costumes ) and compose an original haiku. You know the drill — use the 5-7-5 syllable format to write a clever ditty about Mirror Mirror that captures the spirit of the modern-tinged Snow White retelling. (Hint: That iconic line “Mirror, mirror, on the wall… who’s the fairest of them all?” breaks up quite nicely into seven syllable-segments. I’m just saying.) What’s at stake in this contest for the ages? Behold the grand prize, courtesy of Relativity: (1) “Kids’ Night Out” dinner and movie package, which includes a $100 Gift Card to Red Robin and $60 worth of Fandango bucks, enough for 4 people to enjoy! Dinner and a movie for the whole family? What a steal . Get to writing, already! Entries must be received along with your name and an email address where you can be reached.
