Well, LeafSalon's inaugural competition - to come up with a name for the movie version of William Brandt's The Book of the Film of the Story of My Life has been judged by William himself, and backed up by Craig Gamble of VUP, whose idea it was in the first place. It was hard work, said William, but here's what they came up with:

I took off Sly Mire (Susan) wins the weirdest title category.
My Celluloid Self (Mary McC) wins most efficient.
The Script of the Vision of the Pitch of the Story (curt but not short) wins best-scanning.
Whoops I forgot (Maggie) wins best unintentional title.
The Movie of the Book of the Film of the Story of My Life (Luna Rushdie) wins most literal-minded.

And, drumroll please, the overall winner is: The Film, Already.

Mary Anne, the lucky winner, has been notified of her win and will be receiving Anna Smaill's latest book 'The Violinist in Spring' and Barbara Anderson's 'Collected Stories' shortly.

Thanks to all of you who participated in this slightly silly yet spirited contest - we may yet take up curt but not short's suggestion of hosting NZ's first literary olympics, but we will of course need funding.
