DIARY: Earn sporting glory in the harsh arena of caption-writing

<p>Don't say we never give you anything. Courtesy of those </p><p>kind-hearted souls at ESPN Star Sports, there's a chance for media </p><p>readers to win a prize that, quite frankly, makes us annoyed that we </p><p>can't enter the competition. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Because, to celebrate ESPN Star Sports winning the rights to show </p><p>English Premier League games in Asia, they're offering you the chance to </p><p>win a trip for two to England, to watch the team of your choice. </p><p>Flights, accommodation, match tickets - the lot. What nice people they </p><p>are. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>ESPN Star Sports will be showing five live English Premier League games </p><p>a week from August 18, after winning exclusive rights to show the games </p><p>in Asia for the next three years. But, to have a chance of seeing a game </p><p>in the flesh, turn to the ad on p15, or visit </p><p>www.espnstar.com/eplcontest. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Then simply come up with a humorous caption, and either enter online or </p><p>email it to marcom@espnstar.com. And bear in mind that we're fully </p><p>expecting Asia's top creative people to astonish us with their wit. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>As well as the top prize, you could also win a hamper worth US$100 - there are three being given away for each picture in the </p><p>competition. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>And, most exciting of all, there's the chance to see your name in </p><p>lights, because we'll be featuring the best captions in media. But we're </p><p>sure the trip to England will be nice as well. </p><p><BR><BR> </p>
