Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on January 6, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 300, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    This is the first contest I actually put my foot down with spelling and grammatical errors. I have been lenient in the past, but I don't feel it is fair now to the poet if I don't point out the problems in a contest entry. That said, I do have to admit...this contest brought out some damn good writes, even with spelling/grammar boo boo's, and I had a VERY good time reading. Thank you all for participating and my heartfelt congrat's to the winners. Love, Lane
