Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on July 19, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 1 people
  • Final notes:
    Thanks to everyone of you for the thought of joining this contest. I am really touched. (even though I know you were in it for the points)
    I have to say congratulations to each and every person who shared their work with me.
    It was really hard to pick who won and who didn't. I wish I could've made all of you win. Just in case you are wondering, the winning poem, "In my arms" really captured what my friend was going through. He/She really tried to place him/her into my friend's footsteps...or did a good job pretending so.
    I hope you enjoyed my contest!

    God Bless<3

    * sniffle*

    this reminds me of when I was in kindergarten, almost...jeez...12 years ago? I was in love with this guy, who was a sixth grader(I know, horribly scandolous) but we were friends too, ya know, in an older kid befriending an annoying little 4 yr old sort of way.

    I cried so hard when he died. c ar accident. definitely will be coming back to this one, i think.
