#OperaPlot 2011 — The Denouement
By Ralph Graves
The #OperaPlot contest is over for this year, and as always, the competition was stiff. As you may recall, the idea was to give — in a humorous fashion — the plot of an opera using only the 140-character limit allowed on Twitter (actually, the count was less because each entry had to include the hashtag #operaplot).
Since a few of the winning tweets are NSFW, I’ll just point to the complete list of winning entries. There were five winners, five runners-up, and additional prizes for the best pop culture reference, best song parody, best modern opera plot, and even best #OperaPlot fan art!
So how did I do? Well, I was one of the runners-up again this year with the following entry:
Which, considering how many thousands of entries were submitted from all over the world, I think is quite an honor!
I’m already thinking about possible entries for next year. How about you?
