The most shy and gentle hero of all, Matthew Cuthbert, placed first in last week’s round of our Ultimate Classical Hero Contest!  He earned a total of 589 points, followed by the strikingly handsome, Rhett Butler.  His famous stand against Scarlett O’Hara has the same impact on viewers, more than 70 years later.  To see a full list of everyone’s scores, see below.

The first week of our Ultimate Classical Hero Contest is now complete and, not surprisingly to some, Gilbert Blythe is currently in first place, followed by everybody’s favourite “Pa”, Charles Ingalls!  It was a tight race - Aragorn was narrowly squeezed out of the competition (see results below) – and we now have a new set of men for you to choose from.

Now that we’ve celebrated our favourite women from literature, it’s time to switch genders and focus on the most memorable men in our lives in the lead up to Father's Day.  Starting now, Sullivan Entertainment’s “Ultimate Classical Hero Contest” is up and running! Here’s how it works:

Not too long ago we conducted a very successful “Ultimate Classical Heroine” contest in which we crowned our top female, Anne Shirley, and created a very inspirational video featuring all of our favourite women (which you can see here).  We’ve been receiving lots of inquires as to whether we are planning to conduct a Heroes contest and we are very excited to confirm that we are!

We wanted to welcome any new fans that have recently “liked” our Anne of Green Gables Facebook page!  But we also wanted you to know that if you’re a fan of Sullivan Entertainment, there are a number of other related Facebook pages and twitter accounts that you will enjoy.

Ever wish you had the chance to try out for American or Canadian idol?  Now, Sullivan Entertainment is giving you a chance to share your singing talent!  “Sullivan Sing-Along” officially invites fans of all ages to participate in our special singing competition, in honour of Mother’s Day.

Though she faced a formidable lineup of female competitors in Sullivan Entertainment’s Classical Heroine Contest, there was never any doubt in the minds of her fans that Anne Shirley could and should win the ultimate title.

Including Marilla Cuthbert in our Ultimate Classical Heroine Contest on Facebook may not seem an obvious choice to those unfamiliar with the story of Anne.  And even for those who love the series of books and movies, her popularity – as evident in her being one the top four women – may come as a pleasant surprise.  Placed beside such heroines as Scarlett O’Hara, Jane Eyre or Charlotte Gray, Marilla’s life may seem common and subdued.

For all the fans of our Ultimate Classical Heroine Contest on Facebook, please note that the end of the contest is Tuesday, March 29th at midnight, EST.  Make sure to “like” the photo of the heroine you want to win.

The top “Sweet Sixteen” heroines in our Ultimate Classical Heroine Contest have now become a group of “Enchanting Eight”.  The voting officially ended at midnight on Sunday and we are left with the following results:
