Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on June 14, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 150, Bronze: 75, Honorable mention: 23 people
- Final notes: First of all, I'd like to thank all of you who entered the round contest. As in any contest I'd love to take you all with me... I thoroughly enjoyed reading each and every poem. I gave as honest feedback, as I could in each one I read. Some I read twice.
The top three moved me most -- I can assure you there is no order to the honorable mentions.
This contest was anonymous so I don't know who wrote what. Some folks commented or gave stars none who I knew prior to the contest. Nor did it sway my decisions in any way.
As far as the ones advancing was a selection of style. I try to keep an open mind when reading poetry there are many styles. My decision was mainly on how the poem affected me and the style used.
