Win a Digital Copy of Disney’s ‘MOANA’

Preston Barta // Editor

Disney’s MOANA releases on disc this week, and Fresh Fiction is holding a contest to give away digital copies of the film. Instead of taking the movie in and out of your Blu-ray/DVD player, why not download it and watch it anytime you want at the click of a button?

Listed below are the details of the contest, along with the new features that are included with the release.

CONTEST

One of the best aspects of MOANA is the “You’re Welcome” belter and legendary demigod named Maui (voiced to perfection by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson). He has the ability to change into anything he wants with his giant, magical fish hook.

If you had Maui’s powers and abilities, what animal would you change into the most and why? Whether it’s an eagle to fly or a fish to swim, be sure to get creative with your responses!

All you have to do is email your response. Four winners will be selected on Friday, March 10 at 12pm CT.

Email your story to preston@freshfiction.com. Title your subject line “Fresh Fiction Moana Contest.” Also include your write-up, name and email address.
