Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 20, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 80, Bronze: 40, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: Wow! I'm so impressed with all of you who pulled through this test of faith and poetic capability! All the entries deserved to win!
This was such a tough contest to judge that I actually had to add another HM!
You all had GREAT vocabulary in these pieces as well. Being 14 and not the best at vocab, I had to grab the dictionary more than once!
Gold winner: please be a good sport and pay it forward with another Spiritual Quickie contest!
Thank you everyone for entering, I loved reading all these wonderful poems!

I'm sorry, I'm pulling out.
I thought you'd allow more freedom- but that prompt is just a bit too narrow for me to be creative and original- and poetic too. It'd come out like an essay.
Good luck with the contest though.
