Dinner-and-a-movie Contest

The Premise
In addition to great music, lush visuals and a snapshot of the jazz scene in Cuba and elsewhere, Chico and Rita is a love story marked by strong personalities and the adversity of diverging career paths and repeated separation. Starting in Havana, talented singer Rita got her big break with a move to New York City, then Paris and Las Vegas. Songwriter Chico followed when he could, but events conspired to keep them apart. Finally, after decades, fate brought Chico and Rita together again.

The Contest

We are looking for couples who, at some point in their relationship, were separated by great distance, across borders, continents, oceans, etc., whose love endured and they were ultimately reunited.

In a few short paragraphs — 500 words max — tell us your love story and how you overcame adversity to be together, including locations, circumstances, duration of separation and the length of your relationship.

Our panel of hopeless romantics will pick the best entry and the winning couple will receive a pair of dinner and film tickets for their choice of Tuesday Feb 14 or Wednesday Feb 15. Submissions become the property of CWC and the winning entry will be shared with the audience before the film and on the CWC website.

Submit your entry via email and include your name and phone number. Deadline is 7:00 AM, Monday Feb 13.
