Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on May 13, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 700, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50
  • Final notes:
    So, so, SO hard to judge. I might have lost my mind if I actually had a full slate of pieces as strong as these. In the end, I did the best I could narrowing down the three that spoke to me the most and then arranging them 1-2-3. It was NOT easy! Thanks so much to all of you for taking the time to enter and congrats to the three winners. Gold, please PIF 350 when you get the chance. Now I am off to bed (late, once again!)

      Yeah... hopefully a few more will jump in. I think there will be a surge shortly... we'll see. I won't wait forever, though. I have faith it will fill.

      I would jump in but I need to get off to bed so I don't fall asleep in front of my 4th graders tomorrow. Thanks for the invite, though... it is most appreciated.
