Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on April 17, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 12 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you all for your wonderful pieces. I loved them all, making it very difficult to judge, I added a ton of HM's as usual. In the end I chose by how they spoke to me and the winner is a metaphoric piece that just graps hold of you. If you haven't read it I hope you all take the opportunityt o do so, for it speaks so much to the inside of our feelings and thoughts. I hope to see you all in my next one, coming up very shortly. In the meantime, I have one currently running that still has several spots available, so check it out. Here's the link: http://allpoetry.com/contest/2346842
    Thank you all again, you are all amazing!
