Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on May 9, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 300, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    WOW!!! This is the first contest I've ran where I could not narrow down first, second, or third to a single person and since I felt that there were two poems worthy of each placement and that it was unfair to give a poem I felt worthy of gold a silver, I am going to be awarding two sets of trophies here. I will open a second contest to award the trophies to the others. I was so impressed by everyones entries here and your support of the other poets in this contest. I just want to say thank you to everyone who participated and I've gained some new favorites
