+HOW DO I ENTER?
Just Note *grace-note with the subject CONTEST ENTRY and a THUMB LINK to your deviation (as well as appropriate information, should the piece be an old one.)

+A B O U T
The contest is prompted/themed on the word Tempo.
=Speed, time, velocity, pace.
+The musical definition can be found at this [link]
+The prompt was chosen for it’s ambiguity. For example, the prompt can be taken as in context Music- therefore, the piece may be centred on music (providing it is related the tempo of music.) Subsequently, theme-ing on words such as ‘Andante’ would fit under the tempo prompt.
+It could also be taken as Pace or Time, and the piece may be centred on the clock, paradoxes, infinity with the subject of the clock or wildlife (providing it is related to the tempo of the subject.)
+Another Point of View can be simply the Speed, acceleration- therefore, motion shots, nature shots involving falling water, suspended macro shots etc, all fit within this theme/prompt providing the relation to the prompt is evident.

If you have any questions/suggestions/uncertainties regarding the eligibility of your entry, please note me. ( *grace-note )
