Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on September 15, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 200, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 7 people
  • Final notes:
    So hard to judge... I can't begin to tell you. Rowan has been pretty tied up so I read her comments but I ended up doing the bulk of the judging so... blame me. I loved all of the finalists. Any one of them could win a contest of mine. But, in the end, I had to put it away for a while and come back to it and see which ones hit me the hardest. This is what I came up with. All very worthy and just brilliant.
    And to those that didn't make final cut, they were enjoyed as well. It was tough competition and I can't wait to see who wrote what. Of course, some were obvious but some have me stumped and I can't wait to find out who won the gold because I have no idea...

    Ah. Thank you for the bronze. Congrats to Muddy and yoopea for their placements.

    (and I misspelled almost every word in the above two sentences and had to go back and fix. Man, I work too much.)

        LOL Thank you for the extra point. I think that was the first time my points ever came to that number. It was odd.
