Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 4, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 7500
  • Final notes:
    This contest has been a BLAST to host. Every entry could've won gold in my book. I really like contests that embrace every type of poetry. I chose gold and silver because they were profound and stood for something more then poetry. My co-judge chose bronze because it embraced god in a beautiful way. I also want to thank all the members of The Poetic Bandits for making this contest possible. The warm-hearted donations really made this contest great. I have worked really hard to make this contest the most fair and best it can be I hope you all enjoyed!

    Thanks for taking part in the ULTIMATE CONTEST 07 may we see each other again next year!

    The poet who wrote: Brahma Revisited. Has won 7,500 points and the crown of:
