brevity

30 words or less.

left align.
no rhyme.
plain backgrounds.
word count in author notes (ONLY word count, no other thoughts)

this is for a lot of points - don't give me something cliche. i may or may not comment.


i seem to have an abundance of points that i am doing nothing with - so i am stealing lee-sharp's idea. if your piece is moved to finalist list, great, if not and it has been read - you can remove and re-enter.


edit: i may also remove entries from the finalists list as well, just keep that in mind.





Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 25, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 4000, Silver: 1000, Bronze: 500, Honorable mention: 16 people
  • Final notes:

    Quite difficult to judge, there were so many entries that deserved much recognition.

    The honorable mentions are in no particular order - I just figured out of the 50+ entries I got, that they deserved a bit of something for making it there.

    I will be hosting another contest, 20 words or less. Hope to see you there.

    Damn you got a lot of entries. Thanks for the honorable mention and congrats to the winners. I'm not sure I'm up to only using 20 words now, unless vulgarity is welcome

    O My Heavens!

    I am in floods of tears over here! In just two days I have earned 14,000 points in two contests. I am totally overwhelmed and most grateful for this Gold cup and the points. It is situations so like this that make me strive to do my very best. I sincerely thank you for the honor.

    Congratulations to all the winners here!

    I see now I am going to have to hold some hefty point contests to pay back what I've received.


    Much Love & Many Blessings ♥

    I am happy to be included in the sifted list, makes me feel finished lol. Thank you for not putting my poem that I removed in the finalists, I had fun trying harder for the new one!

    Thanks once again for the honorable mention and for such a contest thought,
