TV&Media Avatar Contest: it's time to start RUNNING!

[Zulu Romeo]

Thanks to all those who voted in the last contest.

This week's theme is all about one word: running.

Film, TV, music, books, and games where there's a theme of people running to or from other things, or general characters which feature people or other things running, sprinting, jogging, dashing, and generally in a bit of a hurry.

As always, we'd like it to exclude sci-fi and fantasy genres - but there's still room for plenty of ideas.

So get your running shoes on and let's see some avatars.


I'll set up a poll around about Saturday afternoonish. Get moving!

Hmm, since someone's already done my entry from the last time we did this theme, I'll just have to go with this:

I'm going to put the poll up much later today, so last call for entries!

As for Ethros and kirkman1987, I guess we could use them unless we get a flood of new entries today, in which case you'd best choose some other non sci-fi-fantasy scenes (there are still plenty).

Me, I'll choose this iconic scene:

 

[Skywalker]

 

[Rowan Sjet]

Me, I'll choose this iconic scene:

Good choice! I haven't even seen that movie (currently sitting in my rental queue) but you're right about it being iconic.

 

[Lonemagpie]

I can't believe nobody entered Chariots Of Fire, or...

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I can't believe nobody entered Chariots Of Fire

I had thought of that at one point, but couldn't get one to work right...

Me, I'll choose this iconic scene:

Good choice! I haven't even seen that movie (currently sitting in my rental queue) but you're right about it being iconic.

Edinburgh's famous Princes Street - at this moment in time, a building site.

A friend of mine claimed to be standing outside Boots when this scene was being filmed. I keep freeze-framing at that point but still can't tell.
