- Final notes: Firstly, allow me to take this time to aplogogise to all entrants for the lateness of this contests judgement.
I reviewed each and every piece, but sadly i did not comment on all of them, those of you who are still seeking comments please contact the host directly, i'm sure she'll accomodate you
I chose the winners based on those that impressed me most and i found it disappointing, that so many went against the host's rules.
Cheers to the winners, commiserations to the losers, and sorry once again.
