How do you take a moment? With a good book and a glass of wine?
Share your way of taking a moment with Leopard's Leap and they might use it on the back label of their Merlot
Leopard's Leap is all about adding quality to life, and in combination with our support of the annual Open Book Festival, we urge you to take a moment – and share it in a few words – to win exciting prizes.
The Take a Moment Competition is one of the ways in which we support the popular literary festival and is the latest edition in a range of competition themes, finding inventive ways of combining the worlds of words and wine.
"In today's hurried life, we sometimes have to be reminded to take a moment," says Leopard's Leap CEO Hein Koegelenberg.
"Reading a book or enjoying a glass of wine are of course some of the wonderful ways in which to do so. This year we would like our supporters to think about their favourite way to time-out and share that with us in our 2019 Take a Moment Competition!"
Your challenge:
How do you take a moment? Does it involve a good book and a glass of wine? Share your way of taking a moment with us in 50 words or less and we might use it on the back label of our Merlot. Use at least three of the words below:
- Relax
- Imagination
- Breathe
- Stretch
- Yourself
- Page
- Comfort
- Luxury
- Time
Entrants in previous years designed wine labels (2015), wrote haikus (2016), shared micro-stories in a flash fiction challenge (2017) and brought words and wine together in a nostalgic Message on a Bottle competition (2018).
