Announcement: The Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon

It’s not without any reasons that Ingrid Bergman is on this year’s Cannes Festival’s official poster. That’s because, on August 29th, 2015, we’ll celebrate her 100th birthday. Of course, Ingrid Bergman is, unfortunately, no longer with us, but that’s not a reason not to celebrate her. For the occasion, I’ve decided to host my very first blogathon: The Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon. So, that’s a new step for me as a blogger. Ingrid Bergman is my personal third favourite actress but she’s also, to me, the most talented of them all. She was also a fascinating lady. Of course, this is my personal opinion. I’m sure many of you like her too, so I’m hoping for a high level of participation! The event will take place from August 27th to August 29th, 2015.

Rules for the blogathon:

The rules for this blogathon are quite simple.

1- Pick a subject. You can write about a movie starring Ingrid Bergman or any other subjects about her. If you decide to write about a movie, I will allow duplicates but I don’t want more than two bloggers to write about the same movie. However, try as much as possible to pick a movie that has not already been picked. Diversity is much more interesting.

2- When you have your subject, you can submit it by commenting on this post or you can send me a personal e-mail at virginie.pronovost@gmail.com. Don’t forget to include the name of your blog and the URL.

3- Once you have my approval, I invite you to make your own announcement on your blog or to re-blog this. I also invite you to include one of my banners on your blog. Those are very simple, I’m not really an artist…

If you have any questions about the blogathon, please don’t hesitate to ask.
