If you are on my favorites list simply title your piece with your AP screen name
then put the title to your piece above the entry
It's my 100th contest and you can enter what you wish,
as all of you are favorites for a reason.
No tributes though
And I won't say give me your best because if you feel like me, that probably won't be inspired from a contest.
Most of all have fun and enjoy each others poetry, I know I will
Best wishes to all
Peace Muddy
UPDATE
I will be awarding HM's 1000 points as well
after reading these entries through...I will be reading over them several more times, so please be patient...thanks to all of you that have entered
The poems in this contest could easily be a book, that's how good the entries are
Thank you for that, and enjoy each others work

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on September 23, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 5000, Silver: 3000, Bronze: 2000, Honorable mention: 6 people
- Final notes: Thank you to everyone that entered, this is by far my favorite contest. Each entry was a wonder and pleasure to read. I read a few comments that stated this would be hard to judge, and it was...but what a pleasure. A tribute to the talent that each of you have. I noticed through reading the entries, that most of you enjoyed each others works and actually added a new favorite is a few cases. You people have always been golden to me. This will be my last contest as a host. I have decided to read more from all of you and donate points, so if you are in need in the future...please don't hesitate to ask.
What wonderful poets and people you are...I applaud you for both.
best wishes
peace
Muddy

Wow. Wowzer. Thank you for hosting such a wonderful contest & the Honorable Mention & exorbitant number of points, Richard. You are such a generous Soul. However, the biggest honor isn't being on your favorites list ~ it's in being your Friend. I gotta admit, I was saddend to read that this will be the last one you host, Scribe. You ALWAYS held the best, most inspiring contests ~ always with such grace & integrity. If YOU are ever in need, in any way, just 'member...Swanee's shoulders are big, broad & waterproof...kinda like Joan Crawford's, but without the bad attitude. Congratulations to Darcy, Mary, Lute & EVERYONE who entered, as well as to those who couldn't make it, for whatever reason that life threw their way. Just knowing this man, his art & his heart, is a good enough reason to join AP to follow in his humble footsteps, to read his incredible works. I've always said you're Good People, Sweetie...& where I come from, that's the best compliment that anyone can give. We all love you. Immensely. Thank you so much for Being, my dear Friend. You, me & the buffalo sunrise. Any ol' time 'tall. You're the best. Wanderer

Thank you for being such a generous host. It was so much fun to read the entries... I was still reading them last night. I'm so glad you were the one judging. They were all wonderful. Thank you and congratulations to everyone. I think we all felt honored from the beginning to just be one of your favorites. Anything else is icing on the cake.

Congrats to all
and thank you to our wonderful host.

Dearest Muddy...I can only say that my delight at winning is equal to my shame for not telling you how appreciated I feel when this contest first closed. I know that you're understanding that such things as funerals and trying to move on has been my excuses for that. But that is neither here nor there. This is beyond a pleasure, surprise and indeed, honor. You only choose the best of the best to participate and to be summon to the front is truly amazing. Thank you so much for your nod of acknowledgment...and to everyone that has been so supportive of me and mine. For once, this poet has no words...
-
Thank You!
Congratulations to all who placed
Wonderful contest Muddy and sorry it took me awhile to riverdance on Your page
I just realized this closed...
-holds head down in shame-
Congratulations to You on Your accomplishments!!!
and it was a pleasure to pen for this
treasured occasion
Wooooooooo Hooooooooooo
Keep that quill dancing my Friend!!
Many blessings to You
Best wishes too
and much love~ Desire~*~

I appreciate the honorable mention Muddy...
However, it seems a bit sadder in this place, to know that you will no longer be hosting contests. Almost as if the light goes out upstairs, and you are left to feel your way about...
