Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on October 12, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100
  • Final notes:
    I believe there were several trophy worthy poems in this lot, but I can only award three. Congrats to our winners!

    They are all arranged in order of how they would place should it go on from 3rd.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to enter and for all the compliments on my photography. Nine entries is great. I only wanted 10 and that's just one short, so thank you! You've all made this contest a pleasure and a success.

    Keep writing and I hope you'll look at my future contests as well.

    You take some beautiful photographs! I really like the one with the sun in the white pines. Very inspirational. I can't promise anything for the contest because I'm pretty lousy at rhyming, but if I have time I'm thinking I might try anyways. Good luck hosting!
