Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on January 6, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 400
  • Final notes:
    First of all: I'm sorry it took so long to judge. I'm always quite busy this time of the year so that's one reason - a second reason is that you all didn't really make this easy for me either -wink-

    Anyway, thanks for entering all of you. Congratulations to the winners and to the poems in the preliminary. You can see that as an honorable mention, but since I don't like those ugly green cups, I'm not going to litter you pages with them -smile-

      exactly this can be about anything as long as it's written in free verse (so no rhyme or form poetry - there are other contests open for those )
      Hope to see you in here
