Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on January 23, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 700, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100
- Final notes: This was probably the toughest contest I've had to judge, in fact I had to turn to a poet more talented than I for help and I am forever grateful for the assistance....
I narrowed this down to 12 finalist and kinda got stuck there but all things must end and this contest is no exception, sorry for the delay and I want to thank everyone who entered, you made this almost impossible to judge and that is a credit to you all.
