Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 4, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 300, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 2 people
  • Final notes:
    I deliberated as long as I could stand...

    I chose "Robot Factory" for gold at great certainty however feeling it had the most value as an anybody poem (as in, mainstream showmanship). I'd call it a very marketable, clearly writ piece of truth that places people and robots respectively in proportion to each other. Poetry has the ability to do ANYTHING and this poem has helped prove so. Silver and Bronze winners, "Your Golden Toaster" and "Ornamental Value" ranked almost incredibly equal to me in metaphorical brilliance with their emotion-wrought free verse. I recommend giving both a few reads each. And of course the honorables... all I can say is I wish there were a worthier color trophy to dole between you but emerald shall have to do.

    Thanks to all who spent time entering fresh new writes, I greatly appreciate your efforts and sincerely enjoyed each entry in its own right.

    Interesting idea for a contest, but ...

    I'm not interested in robots. Now, androids ... I have several poems about androids.

    Anyway, good luck with your contest.

      lol, if androids is where your mind takes the robot theme then android poems are MORE than welcome here... they just have to be new. (or re-posted so they look like new ;] ) no pressure though... I don't like knowing if you're entering anyway. I love the new anonymous contest feature more than I love knee-high socks, which is a lot.
